• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Everything is ready with the world.

  Speaker 2: Most time for pumpkinspice latte.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: You're not going for that kind of thing, are you?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm not, But I said it to my wife
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the other morning. I'm like, gosh, it's like it's like
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: almost flannel pumpkinspice latte weather. Oh.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And she got kiddied, didn't she.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: She did? You know she did? And I like fall two,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: but I hate what comes after it.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: So yeah, we got a good a good three or
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: more three months or so up, some nice cool mornings
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: and moderate moderate afternoons.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: But it's perfect working weather. I'll tell you that it
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: is a working weather right now.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: It is a great time to be out getting stuff
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: done and of course having things done in your home.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: It's a fantastic time, and Andrew. I know the team
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: at Large Home Services. You guys are working year round.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You guys work every month of the year. There's always
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: something that you guys are able to offer folks. And
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: of course, when it comes to taking care of your home,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that stuff, especially in the winter months. If you start
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to see proms, now it's time to think about prevention.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And one of the really great things is obviously at
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the start of the season spring and summer, we talk
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a lot, a lot about gutter shutter and I know
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the phones just go crazy, and of course folks are
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: this time you're getting on the schedule as well. It
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: is a really good time of the year to get
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: on the schedule for a number of reasons. One you
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: mentioned the nice cool temperatures. Everybody loves having work done
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: in this type of environment. But you guys do a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: little a little bit of a little bit of a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: disc count this time year. Am I right on that? Andrew?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, here's what happens is every year, without fail,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: we get to like November and people are calling and
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: saying we need a new roof, and we need it
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: done before the snowflies. I'm just going, why don't we
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: call earlier. I mean, we do everything that we can,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and luckily the past few years, like weather's been pretty
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: mild up into December and we've been able to get
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff done. But you know, maybe this
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: year is the year where we get one of those
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: November snowstorms. You just you don't know. So I said
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to my marketing guy, said, why don't we just let's
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: just offer a bigger discount right now to let people know, like, hey,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: now's the time call, get an estimate, call get an inspection,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: because we're offering seventy five percent off installation labor. We've
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: been doing fifty percent off installation labor or nothing all year.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And I said, let's up it sooner. We're normally upping
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: it at the end of the year to get the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: last few jobs in. But I think it makes more
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: sense to give it a little earlier and that way,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: you know, people can take the weather's nice right now.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: And one thing that we know is really important is
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that if we come to somebody's house, whether it's for
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a roof restore, roof repair, or a full roof once
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: we do our inspection. You know, again, sometimes there's nothing wrong.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Usually there is, but sometimes there's nothing wrong. But when
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: there is, people are excited to get it done. So
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: we've kind of made it our mission to not have
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: to make people wait a long time. We've got multiple
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: roofing crews, multiple roofing managers, and we've not been more
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: than a couple weeks out on roofing all year long,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: sometimes weeks doing as many as fifteen to twenty full
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: new roofs. So we have the capacity to get things done.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: And when we get someone excited about getting a changing
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the look of their house, changing the color, changing stuff,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: whatever it is, you don't have to wait real long.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: But now is a great time because we're not we're
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: not hitting that cold part yet. The weather is it's
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: absolutely perfect, probably the best time of year two work outside.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: In the spring, we get who you never know what
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: we can get. I mean, I think the first week
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: of April we got like eight inches of snow, right,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: we never know what we're going to get. But in
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the fall, we know we're going to get nice, mild temperatures,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: great for getting a lot of work done. So it's
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a great time a year for a discount. It's a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: great time of year for just for pure weather wise
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and working conditions. So I just to advise people, don't
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: don't wait till the end of October, don't wait till November.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Call call today.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: There's a great, great rewards and being prepared and starting
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that conversation. As Andrew mentions, call today, call now six
• 4:45

• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the folks from large home services out you get options
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: like roof for store. Also if you need a new roof,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it's a great time to do that as well. Again,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: we talk about some of the biggest discounts of the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: year right now. When you got to beat that rush.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Of course, as we start to get colder and colder
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and people start seeing the leaves come down, and then
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: folks start seeing temperatures drop and snowflakes coming down, phones
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: start really going crazy. It's a great time right now
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to give them. Call Lars Storm Services six so eight
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: five three five forty three forty three. That's five three, five,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: forty three, forty three and the roof for store and
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the restoring process that you guys have been doing at
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Lars Stome Services about a year now, year two now
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: since you've been you've been really talking about that part
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: of Lars Snome Services. It's a really nice thing that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you guys offer a largs storm services for homeowners who
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: may have a roof that's that's older but maybe not
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: completely ready for a complete redo, and you guys can
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: get a get a few years of life. And of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: course when we look at those winter months, you can
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: also protect the house during those extreme temperatures through the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: winter months with the roof of store, can't you.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know a lot of people, first of all,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of people don't know, I mean, how long
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: is the roof gonna last. There's a lot of you know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: shingle manufacturers that claim lifetime warranties. I mean, we have
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: a lifetime warranty on our roof. It doesn't mean it's
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: gonna last forever. What it means is if it if
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: it goes bad before fifty years, you know we're going
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to take care of it. And that's you know, that's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the peace of mind to homeowner gets with with working
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: with a master or elite roofer that can put a
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Golden pledge warranty on a roof. But for most roofs,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: once you get to that fifteen, eighteen twenty year mark,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the shingles might look okay, but there's certain things that
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: can go bad. Flashings, you know, chimney ringlets, you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: different key leak areas, and what we like to do
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: is check those areas. We get to a lot of
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: places somebody says we need a new roof. It's leaking.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: We go open and inspect and it's like, no, the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: roof is good. It's it's the key components. And that
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: that's why we like to call it a restore. So
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: if we go up on a roof and we do
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: an inspection and you've got say five pipe boots or
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: four pipe boots and one's leaking and they're all original,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: what's the point of just fixing one. We should probably
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: instead of just repairing one, we should probably try to
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: restore and bring that bring real life back to the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: roof and replace all of them. Because if one went
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: bad and they're all the same age, there's typically going
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to be the same type of wear on them. So
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: that's why we call it a restore process, not so
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: much a repair. We get up a lot of times
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: and people have moisture moisture issues. Well, we get up
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and they'll have a couple of box vents on the
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: top of the roof. It's not nearly enough roofing or
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: nearly enough ventilation. So we're going to restore. We're gonna
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: plug those box vent box vents, and we're gonna move
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the ventilation up to a ridge vent where we can
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: properly vent the entire roof, potentially bringing years of life
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: back to that roof and keeping shingles out of landfills.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's lots of reasons for it, but I mean,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: best thing for the homeowner is know your shingles aren't bad.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: You've got some key components that are bad. But we
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: can restore it, bringing back years of life. And then
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: you know, our hope is that we do a great job,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: they love the experience, and then when they do need
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: a new roof, they call us back to replace that roof,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: but hopefully it's not for a few years down the road.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: So that's really the restore process. And if people have
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: leaks or drips or stuff isn't looking the best from
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the ground, probably isn't looking the best from you know,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: from up close. So I would advise you having us
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: come out do it an inspection. We're going to do
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: a free seventeen point inspection. We do in seventeen point
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: inspections on our gutter estimates as well, just because we're
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: already up there and most people have never had a
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: roof inspection, and why not get it for free. Give
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: you some peace of mind. Most of the time everything's good,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: but if it's not, we want to take care of
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: it at least let the homeowner know.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: That's a great thing too about working with Largstom service.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: As you mentioned, not only roofs, but also of course
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: we get into fall a months gutter shutter. It's a
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: prime time now to start that kind conversation. Pickup phone,

  Speaker 1: cost anything. You'll get that peace of mind. Everything's fine.
