A New Roof

Five of the houses on our street are going to have new roofs installed in two weeks. We have called in a lot of people for estiments. They are range from $3,400 to $5,400. Since we don’t need a Cadillac roof, we pick the $3,600. They are well known companies and they all contract out for the jobs. Some didn’t even return call because this is a busy season now. We got one guy very frustrated and angry because we refused to sign the contract right away. He tried to pressure Mr. G to sign. He claimed that he has to pay for his own gas, use own vehicle and own time to get the estimation out. He will not get pay until someone signed. Mr. G told him that he will not sign under pressure and also needed to talk to the other four owners. He kept asking Mr. G "WHY?, I’ll match the price with the lowest company!" Mr. G told him, first, he was way too high on the price, second, why should I sign with you if you are the same price as other?" He was so angry and wouldn’t leave. I thought he might through a stone to the window or something! Anyway, we all got together last Sunday and decided to sign up with this one company that has been around for 15 years for a reasonable price. I can’t imagine if I have to do this all by myself. This is the time we need the guys around! Hee Hee!
