  Eight, six thirteen WIBA Madison in the morning and ask the experson. I
• 0:14
  think we've got a new theme walk up song for sure for Andrew Larson from
• 0:18
  Larsen Home Service, A little welcome to my house. Andrew, how are
• 0:21
  you doing this morning? Doing great? Can you believe that is mid November?
• 0:27
  No, it's beautiful outside. Hey, I gotta give a little plug
• 0:32
  here to my Lodie Blue Devils football team. They play Thursday at seven o'clock
• 0:38
  for the Division four state championship. I was looking at weather last night because
• 0:45
  I'm like, okay, evening game, seven o'clock, mid November. We're
• 0:48
  gonna have to break out it's winter gear. It's going to be fifty eight
• 0:52
  fifty eight degrees on November seventeenth, crazy seven pm for the Blue Devils to
• 0:59
  win the state championship. So good luck guys. And we've got about a
• 1:03
  high today is sixty four, a high tomorrow of sixty two, which means
• 1:07
  this is good roof and weather, isn't it? Andrew? This is fantastic
• 1:11
  roofing weather, which you know, kind of thanks for the lead in.
• 1:14
  You know, I really wanted to talk about the fact that so many people
• 1:18
  think you know it has to be done in warmarm weather. Has to be
• 1:23
  done in warm, warm weather. Well, it's not exactly true. What
• 1:26
  we need for a roof is we need forty five degrees for everything to seal
• 1:29
  down. It doesn't mean it has to be forty five degrees in the rook
• 1:32
  it'ts put on. It just means that we need some time at forty five
• 1:34
  degrees with some sun. A lot of people think that if the roof doesn't
• 1:38
  seal down, it is going to leak. Well, I can tell you
• 1:41
  this. The last two years, we have roofed all year long. And
• 1:46
  when I say all year, I mean December, January, February, in
• 1:49
  March. Now, if it's ten degrees, we're not out doing a roof.
• 1:53
  But you know we do get a lot of those nice sunny you can
• 1:57
  tell them from Wisconsin, those nice sunny days. Yeah, you know,
• 2:07
  those nice sunny days in the winter where it might hit twenty five thirty degrees.
• 2:10
  I know it sounds terrible, but it's actually really good, really good
• 2:14
  working weather. There's time to get your roofs done. In all the years
• 2:19
  I've been doing this, we really only used to do emergency roofing in the
• 2:23
  winter where it always happened, where we literally told somebody, hey, you
• 2:29
  really need to get this roof done. You shouldn't be waiting, and then
• 2:31
  we get a call in the middle of winter, hey, I got a
• 2:34
  spot on my ceiling. Get a spot on your sin That means it's got
• 2:37
  through the shingles, the underlayment, the OSB, it's gotten through the insulation.
• 2:42
  Now it's in your sheet rock. So now we have a bigger problem.
• 2:44
  We've done those and last year we just really actually just did roofing on
• 2:49
  the nice days and we never had a leak, we never had a blow
• 2:53
  off from wind. Everything worked out perfectly fine. And actually once it gets
• 2:58
  to be colder, you know, we slowed down. So we do offer
• 3:00
  some better deals as well. So my whole point of this is, is
• 3:04
  there still time if you think your roof needs a little TLC With a roof
• 3:08
  inspection. We do a three seventeen point roof inspection with every single estimate that
• 3:14
  we do, so you know exactly what's going on, whether that be a
• 3:19
  gutter shutter estimate or roofing estimate, we can still take care of it and
• 3:23
  if there are things that need to be fixed right now, a four winter
• 3:28
  as part of our roof restore program, we can get that done as well.
• 3:32
  It's a fantastic, fantastic call, fantastic data. Pick up phone.
• 3:36
  Give Andrew or the team at Larstome Services a call, get that seventeen point
• 3:39
  inspection on your roof, not going to cost you a thing, and you
• 3:43
  will learn some fantastic stuff. I'll cant just pick up phone, get a

• 3:58
  Before we talk about dot you save one more thing about the roofs and I've
• 4:00
  got to ask you if this is part of it. One of the things
• 4:02
  that we've talked about this you did the roof on the beautiful prebol estate a
• 4:08
  number of years ago, and one of the things that was so impressive.
• 4:12
  Obviously the finished product was amazing, but actually seeing the work that was done
• 4:16
  and how quickly that work is done. And I've got a guess that part
• 4:20
  of the reason why a large storm services you guys are able to work during
• 4:25
  these months is the fact that you don't have to worry about the elements because
• 4:29
  you're literally getting that roof done in I'd say a day, but I almost
• 4:33
  feel like, to your guys, that's an insult to say it takes all
• 4:36
  day because they work so darn fast, you know, it's it's incredible how
• 4:44
  I don't even like to say fast. I like to know they are fast,
• 4:46
  right, I mean, you know, they literally do five hundred to
• 4:50
  seven hundred roofs a year for crew. It's efficiency. It's from the time
• 4:57
  the truck pulls up, guys are getting equipment out, there's already guys backing
• 5:02
  up the dump truck, the dump trailer because we don't we actually don't use
• 5:06
  a dumpster. We use a dump truck. That way we can truly be
• 5:10
  in and out in the same day. Anybody's ever had work done, a
• 5:14
  roof done, so we've use a dumpster a lot of times. That dumpster
• 5:16
  can sit there for twenty four to forty eight hours. We're in and out
• 5:19
  in the same day. But it's efficiency. We actually just had someone who
• 5:23
  was upset the other day and it was part of their restore program where they
• 5:27
  basically they just had a little porch roof that was an add on. It
• 5:30
  really wasn't done right and it was completely shot and it needed to be done
• 5:36
  and OSB and everything. And it was four squares, so in roofing terms,
• 5:43
  that's like about five percent of a normal and it should stay five percent
• 5:49
  yea, yeah, about five percent of normal house. It's very it's very
• 5:53
  small. It's four hundred and four feet. And the lady was so upset
• 5:57
  because, I mean, it wasn't cheap. I mean, like anything,
• 6:02
  a restore, typically per square is going to be a little bit more expensive
• 6:05
  because we still have to bring the same amount of people out there, the
• 6:08
  same equipment out there. It's a much smaller Quaker job. Anyway, took
• 6:11
  them an hour and she's so mad that it only took an hour. And
• 6:16
  you know, my response was, you know, ma'am, we can do
• 6:19
  a full house in like five hours. Yeah. And I think that it's
• 6:26
  a test, and it's a test. It's to show that the guys are
• 6:30
  that experience, that they're that efficient that yes, we can come over in
• 6:36
  an hour and we can be in and out and done and everything's clean and
• 6:40
  it's good. And I mean, I don't really think that's something to be
• 6:42
  upset about. It's I mean, I think it's impressive. So yes,
• 6:46
  it's very quick. One house one day, one house, want half a
• 6:51
  day sometimes And then again, our guarantees, our home protection guarantee are no
• 6:56
  nail guarantee on our schedule guarantees. We guarantee we're going to be out there
• 7:00
  when we say we're going to be out there, we're going to clean up,
• 7:03
  and we're going to protect your home. So no matter how fast it
• 7:05
  is, those are the concerns that people have roof gits done properly and everything
• 7:10
  to protected and cleaned up. That was that's It's funny you mentioned the efficiency
• 7:14
  too, because that was the as and I brought this point up, but
• 7:16
  I'll bring it up again on previous shows. Is like most people that I've
• 7:20
  got a bunch of cameras outside my house and so watching on the cameras,
• 7:26
  watching the crew's work, and it's it's such a the coordination and like everybody
• 7:30
  knows exactly what like it's literally it's like this rigorous, very precise step by
• 7:38
  step. Everybody knows exactly what their task is. They they roll up,
• 7:43
  they start the job. Everybody is like in perfect synchronization and boom, it
• 7:47
  is done with an absolutely amazing product. That's the great thing about working with
• 7:50
  Andrew and the team at Largsnome Services. They are the pros. They know
• 7:54

• 8:26
  as we love days like today, in the next few days, we know
• 8:31
  ups and downs here in Wisconsin this time of year. As we head towards
• 8:33
  winter, there's going to be very cold days, there's going to be very
• 8:37
  a little bit warmer days, and you really want to make sure that your
• 8:41
  house is ready to perform through all of those all of those climate changes,
• 8:45
  and can serve that energy, can serve that money that you put into your
• 8:48
  house exactly. It's like I had a talk with the insulation production team a
• 8:56
  couple of weeks ago, and I said, listen, guys, you've been
• 9:00
  busy all year, but we are now approaching the playoffs for your seat,
• 9:05
  for your season, Like this is playoff time, This is go time when
• 9:07
  it starts to get cold. Even though I try to educate people as much
• 9:13
  as we can on our podcast and on this show that insulation in your attic
• 9:16
  is actually more important in this summer and it is in the winter. Air
• 9:20
  ceiling is more important in the winter. But it all goes together. But
• 9:24
  like now is now is when people really really think about you know, you
• 9:28
  think of insulation, you think of you know, wrapping your home in a
• 9:33
  blanket, putting a coat on your home. It mean, it makes sense,
• 9:37
  I get it. But yes, doctor, energy saver is it becomes
• 9:41
  very, very very important, and it's very important for everybody who lives in
• 9:46
  a climate that we live in where you know, we're going to see negative
• 9:50
  twenty in the year and we're going to see one hundred in a year.
• 9:54
  Those type of temperature swings you don't get many other places on Earth's so making
• 10:00
  sure that your home performs properly. And I always call it instead of just
• 10:05
  calling it insulation and air ceiling and what I like to call it home performance.
• 10:11
  How does your home perform? How does the HVAC unit interact with all
• 10:16
  of the things that are put in your home to help you contain that heat
• 10:20
  and that cool That's what we do. We come in and make sure that
• 10:24
  your home is going to perform as efficiently as it possibly can. We use
• 10:30
  moisture meters, we use humidity measurements, we take thermal imaging to go through
• 10:35
  your house and show you where your leaks are, where you're missing stuff,
• 10:39
  and then we show you how we can solve all of it, some of
• 10:43
  it or just a portion of it. But the big thing is is educating
• 10:46
  a homeowner on hey, if we just do part C, that can actually
• 10:52
  affect the rest of your home in a negative way. So sometimes it's kind
• 10:58
  of an all or none, but sometimes is just one little thing that we
• 11:01
  can get in and do that can make a huge, huge difference. You
• 11:03
  go into a house nowadays, people love to put can lights in how many
• 11:07
  addicts that we get in that have a dozen can lights with no insulated air
• 11:13
  sealed covers on. I mean, they're literally six inch holes in your ceiling
• 11:18
  and a lot of them don't have any insulation around them because an electrician got
• 11:22
  up there and put them in and that's not of their concern and a lot
• 11:26
  of times they don't want the insulation touching them, so little things like that,
• 11:30
  and we can show homeowners with thermal imaging and endoscopes and some of the
• 11:35
  different tools we have exactly where they're losing all of their energy and then show
• 11:39
  them what it will cost to get it fixed, make their home more efficient
• 11:43
  and more comfortable, so the whole year. It's such an amazing thing Doctor
• 11:48
  Energy Saver with Larsen Home Services. And there I know Andrew years ago when
• 11:52
