• 0:37
  Speaker 1: for a lot of folks. And I know you're up
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: already moving this morning, kind of playing the role of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: mister mom today.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: And mister mom yeah, his wife out of town. Got
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: to get the kids to school. And the only reason
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I'm making the show today is because I didn't actually
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: have to take them to school because they're both sick.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Oh g oh yeah, man, oh that's gonna be uh
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: they Oh, those a tough day.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Those are tough days. You know. Sometimes I like working
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: from home, but not when it's not by choice. From home.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: You like spending time with your kids, but you don't
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: like spending time with your kids when you're working from
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: home and they're sick, right.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: No, no, So so that's what we got going on today.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: But luckily we are still we are still hard at
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: it right now, trying to you know, get stuff done
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: before the weather turns. And it's I mean, honestly, we
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: look at the extended forecast, it looks pretty good. But
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: but we've been getting a lot of rain here lately
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and the phones have been ringing off the hook. People's
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: roofs leaking. You know, when you get an all day
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: soker like we did on Sunday, where it just kind
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of rains all day long and inch well I think
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the week before was what like three to five inches,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: depending on where you lived. A lot of roof leaks.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: We're out doing a lot of roof inspections right now
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and trying to figure out why roofs are leaking, because
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I talk about it all the time. That you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: one thing we like to do is is if if
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you're shingles aren't bad, a lot of times we can
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: do what we well a lot of people would call
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: a roof repair, we like to call it a roof
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: restore because we're not just trying to fix one little thing.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: We're trying to look for the reason why something might
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: be leaking. And if there's if there's a pipe boot leaking,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: most likely there's a few more pipe boots that should
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: be replaced too. If there's a little bit of flashing
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: that's leaking, most likely there's a lot of flashing that
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: wasn't done properly. You might have the best shingles in
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the world, but your chimney wasn't flashed properly, or you
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: don't have a chimney cricket on there to divert water
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: away from the back of it. So we've been doing
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of roof restore activities now to get people
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: ready for the winter. And then again sometimes we get
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: there and people want a roof restore and the shingles
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: are just they're just not good enough to be you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: to put two, three, four, five thousand dollars into that roof.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It's just time for a roof replacement. So, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: if you're thinking you have an issue, or you're not sure,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: or you look up and the shingles don't look good,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: don't hesitate to call Free seventeen point roof Inspection and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: we'll let you know exactly what's going on with that roof.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And that's one of the great things you mentioned, that
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that free inspection and getting that information and you'll know
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: will you need to replace the roof, is it Is
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: it something that's a perfect candidate for a roof restore
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: or is it everything's just absolutely fine and you've got
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a few more years with that roof and nothing to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: worry about this winter. But as you point out, Andrew,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: as we look at kind of the forecast, we know
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: what inevitably happens in Wisconsin is it will start snowing soon.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: We will start experiencing issues now. Large storm Services, you
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: guys do work a year round. You are very busy
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: year round. But of course there are things that are
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: better when they are prevented from becoming a problem. And
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I know prevention is a big part of what you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: guys do at Large Stome Services, and that's what makes
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it so important this morning to call Andrew and the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: team with that seven point inspection. Have THEO come out,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: take a look at your roof, make sure everything's performing properly.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: The telphon number six oh eight five three five forty
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: three forty three that's six oh eight five three five
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: forty three forty three and Andrew. One of the things
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: in talking with you about about people and roof issues is, unfortunately,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: for most homeowners that don't get their roof inspected, they
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: don't realize there's a problem until there's a big problem,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and like an ongoing issue that they were completely unaware of,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and suddenly there's a wet spot on their ceiling and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: they're going, what happened here?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: That that's that's what we're getting a lot of calls for,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and we're getting a lot of calls for wet basements. Look,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: it was super dry. It was a super dry fall
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: up until of recent here. And the thing is is
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: when it's out of sight, it's.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Out of mind.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: And when it's dry, we're really not thinking about about
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: our gutters until we get a four inch rain, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: then we get a fifteen hour rain and the gutters
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: sit and they overflow and they leak into the basement. Heck,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: my brother in law, he never worries about his gutters.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I'm always telling him like, hey, man, like you need
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: to clean these things, or we can hook you up
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: with some cutter shutter. And he didn't listen, and I
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: think they said they sucked twenty gallons of water out
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of one of their kids bedrooms this weekend. It's directly
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: related to not clean gutters. There's a section of the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: house he's never worried about. Yeah, I don't worry about
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: that part. Can't hurt anything over there. Well until now
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you've got wet drywall and you've got wet carpet. And
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: so just because it's out of sight, it just because
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: it's not raining that much, it's gonna come. And I
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: preach this like it just seems like it comes more
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: in buckets of late, like just two three inches at
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: a time instead of you know, like one weekly nice
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: rain here and there. We just get it all at
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: one time. So again, if you're worried about the gutters,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: if you don't think they're sloped properly, if you don't
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: think downs fault placement is done right. I mean a
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: lot of people buy houses and the gutters around there.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: A lot of people build houses and they put gutters
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: on and they have no say in where the downce
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: ball placement is or anything like that. They slap them
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: up and go away because if they don't work, they
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: don't really care with us. We care, yeah, because if
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: they don't work, we have to come back and we're
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: going to fix it for free. That's our lifetime workmanship
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: guarantee as well as a lifetime no clock guarantee. So
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: when we put them up, we put them up right
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: because if we get a phone call that something's not
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: working properly, we come back and take care of it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: So that's a peace of mind that really no other
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: companies that I know of give a lifetime workmanship guarantee. Leaking,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: overflowing ice damage, you name it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You and you mentioned that that workmanship guarantee, and you
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: mentioned you know what comes along with working with your
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: team at large Stome Services. I think a big thing
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: too is people say, well, how are you able to do?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: That?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Is we're talking about skilled individuals. I know you guys
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: do a lot of training, whether it's in the field
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: or literally you have a classroom at the office just
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: north of here where folks get it. You know, where
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: your team is literally doing hands on classroom stuff and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: training training out in the field, which allows you, of
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: course to be certified. And you know when it comes
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to all of the you know, the manufacturers, they're looking
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to certified and installers, and you guys are our top
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: level on all of that stuff. And that's a great
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: piece of mind. As you mentioned, Andrew, for homeowners is
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: when it comes to protecting your house, when it comes
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to whether it's gutters, roofing you're thinking about. Of course,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: we think about with winter coming and keeping your energy
• 7:26
