I’ll probably hit you guys up later this year for a siding quote.
Or maybe early next year… I really don’t know.
depends on how soon I get my house back together.

My dad’s house needs to be sided asap. I believe its 30 square…he has been getting quotes including soffits. Would you be interested?
Also might need some finish drywall sanding and painting, along with other odds and ends. He needs guys able to complete jobs quickly not in their spare time as he wants to move in asap.

Tell him to contact me, I would be interested in that job and can have someone come out and give him an estimate.
Drywall sanding and painting and odds and ends are not my forte, but I could probably work out something with that too.
Thanks,

Thanks for the info Alex.

I need a roof, do you do the work or contract it out? I want an army to come, tear it off, and install it in one day.

I normally sub my roofing and siding jobs out to my cousin with 15+ years experience, he has a small crew however. When it is a large job I bring in my own crew in addition to his.
Work has been extremely busy as of late (I worked 7 days this week, 12-14 hour days…) and as far as roofing we are pretty much booked solid the next 4 weeks.
Also, on a different note for those of you contacting me for odd jobs. I strictly focus on Windows, Doors, roofing and siding jobs. While I appreciate the work that you have all been bringing me I unfortunately cannot fit some of these jobs into my schedule. However, during the winter this may be a different story.
Thanks,
-Alex

Update : picked up a new roof/siding subcontractor. Thus I have more ability to do those types of jobs.
Thanks!

Updated.
No longer doing siding or roofing.
Now offering on the spot quotes and better prices on windows!

Can you get 76" tall doors without them costing an arm and a leg? Had two of them picked out and then realized normal 80 inchers wouldn’t fit my house…custom order price was over double for the same ones 🖕

I can see what I can do joe, but custom doors are just that, custom.
What most places do is cut down the door and frame to fit the custom height that you are looking for. I’ll ask around and see what I can do for you though!

I’ve seen standard doors modded to be be shorter. It’s a pain in the ass with the hollow doors because once you cut it down, you have to fill the gap, but it’s not out of the realm of possible. Definitely adds a few hours onto the install.
