What today won't bring.......

RandyB1986 Said: Well, it has been one of them weeks. Work has been slow here and I finally got a few calls last week for estimates. I was pretty sure I would get a couple of them.....but now I am not so sure I will get any of them.

I bid a small 19 square ranch with 2 layers of tear off with 30 Year O/C. I bid it at $3900 hoping to get it....the guy called me yesterday to let me know he was hiring someone else...I asked him how bad I got beat on the bid and he said by over $500, close to $1000!! How can someone do this job for $3000 or so?? Must be someone just supplementing their unemployment check!!

I hope I dont have to bid against them all summer........

Material, easily $2,000. Dumping, regional prices, but about $200. max. 2 days labor/2 men, say 1 helper at $160. + labor of bidder. Expenses for those two days (rent, gas, insurances, cell, etc...), maybe $300.

Looks like that "roofer" will clear about $340. in two days. Which will promptly go right to the Meth dealer.

Tuff it out Randy. Hang in there.

Oh wait, gas is going up. FIRST time in my roofing career that it has me concerned. Prolly cause I might not be working. So THIS is how the other half live.....

True, but now, I'm like this prey...
