Are your crews this good? Just had a roof put on my house yesterday, and these guys had it together. They were good. 18 squares, complete tear off, ice guard underlayment along the edges, 30# felt, 30 year dimensional shingles, new vent and chimney flashings, and they even painted the pipes to match the roof color. (It's a 12/12 pitch) They were here at sunup....7 AM.....and left at 1:30, and my yard never looked so clean. There were 10 guys, all Americans, kinda John G types......Hilljack-ie, but tough. They bantered with each other the whole time. All the right equipment. Every man had a specific job, and they worked very efficiently. Didn't waste any time. Didn't need supervision, although there was a foreman type on the job.
Now, if I could find a crew like that, I would put on another truck.
I had the grandson out today on a commercial job, and even though I 'splained the importance of keeping the hoses out of my way and chairs moved, I had to remind him to move chairs and pull the hoses about every 2 minutes. He's a brainy kid, but manual labor isn't going to be his best suit. I guess being his Granpa, I really didn't want to yell at him????
How do you big guys keep your employees on track??
