A customer once asked me if I could “lower the price on my bid” because he assumed I was just using day laborers and paying them $10 per hour. I kindly explained that we do not use day laborers for our roof installations and he hung up. Quality is not always in the cards.
Most roofing companies install roofs using pneumatic nail guns. It’s faster, cheaper, and it’s considered the norm. While some companies focus on a quick roof, a select few take a different approach to your project. Hand nailing is somewhat of a lost art now-a-days.
