  Speaker 3: we just come from a deeply rooted military family.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: How does that translate to work ethic?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: You know, it's I think, you know, I'm a little biased,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: but I think veterans tend to work real hard and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: are real loyal.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: And yeah, well yeah, that's that pretty much makes the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: case right there. Now, you deal primarily right here in
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the bartles.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Are because well, you've got a lot of properties that
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you've been working on.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, my name's.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: Jeremy Barnes, like Dan said, and you know, I've been
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: around the area for I'm actually from the Copan area.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Owned the Copane truck stop and restaurant as well.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Oh the place with the mile Pie Mile High pot.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: You bet your TEGs famous pies up there. So yeah,
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: we've got some deep roots with our family here, mainly
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: up in the Copan area. But you know, we've been
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: buying properties, We've owned multiple companies and uh, you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: just me and Dan came together on some projects and
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: hit it off. And like you said, his military background.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: I had a lot of people in my family were
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: in the military. I personally wasn't, but you know, I
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: came to I saw how hard Dan worked and how
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: hard he wanted to build a business, and how small
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: town mentality wise, he really gravitated to the atmosphere in
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Barnesville and we just hit it off and started working
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: on a lot of jobs together.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: So say, hey, let's pull this together.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: Let's use you know, my networking, my business influences here
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: in town, and let's pull it together and and bring
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: your expertise to the table.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Well this was great, this was this was meant to be,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: as they say, and with valor, we call it valor.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Construction and roofing. But today we need to talk about roofs.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: You gotta take care of our rooms. You gotta have
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: you gotta have protection, Yes.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Sir, one hundred percent right, you gotta have it. It's
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the you know, aside from your foundation, it's the second
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: most important thing on your house.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And when it comes to.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Taking care of it, you need an inspection every now
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and then, don't you correct.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, you know, after owning so many properties and
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: doing so many flips in the area a lot of time,
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: what happens is we buy a house or we go
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: inspect a house. Some of the first things we look
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: at is the roof and has it been installed properly?
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Is there any how old is the roof? So inspection
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: is a big part of that process. But what we
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: have come across so many times is, you know, there's
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: more than just the shingles on a roof. You know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: you have all your decking on the roof, you have
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: your drip edge, all of your all the components that
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: pull a good roof together that's going to last. And also,
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: let's face it, roofing is expensive nowadays, and when we
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: purchase a property, we want to make sure that we've
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: got some value and a roof that's ensurable, a roof
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: that's going to last, and the roof that we feel
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: confident when we sell a property or put it on
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: for a customer that it's done correctly.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Now, with this hot weather, how hard is this on
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a roof around here?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: So yeah, the weather for sure is is a huge
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: factor in Bartlesville on these roofs.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And then the longevity of them.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I'll say, you know, you have to have the proper
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: ventilation on these roofs. If without without the proper ventilation,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: these things will start experiencing thermal cracking and we'll have
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: your Your longevity of the of the roof is just
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: not going.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: To be there.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Everyone seems to think it's going to be the storm
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that and it might be the storm that takes it off,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: but it's going to be the heat that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: We consider right, well, we all know insurance plays a
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: big part in the game. And and and uh we
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Dan works really hard with all the local and all
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: the national brands of insurance to you know, bring together
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: some some value in that, but also some honesty and integrity.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: We we want to take care of the customers and
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: we will go to battle for any kind of uh,
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: you know, insurance claims or anything like that, but we
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: want to do it with honesty and integrity, and also
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: make sure the customer down the road has some value
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: in their roof, not just you know, slap some singles
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: on and walk away, transfer some money back and forth,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: but actually something that is an investment into your property.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: And you know, a roof is a huge investment.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: It is one thing, gentlemen, that I noticed when I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: was looking at your social media stood out me.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: It just hit me like lightning.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: You put your license number out there.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: How many times have folks.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Talked or interviewed with someone who may be doing some
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: construction or roofing for that matter, and to ask about
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a license and they said, well, I left it in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the truck and next thing you know, the truck's taken
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: off down the road. You put that out there, correct, yep,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And you're very proud of that license because that says
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: we are who we are.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: We want people to know, you know, that we're licensed,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: were ensured. You know, we have more insurance than the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: state minimum required come out. You know, this is for
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: you know, put in our customers that are peace of mind.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: You know, let them know, hey if we make if
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: something happens, you know, we're going to make sure it
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: gets taken care of. We're licensed. You know, this is
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: a lot of these, you know, small storm chasing companies
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: that you know you won't see license numbers on their
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: vehicles or on their signs or anything like that. Yeah,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: we just don't operate that way. We play by the book.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And of course, you know, being from around the area
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: in the Copaine area to where the Barbersville area as
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: long as you've been, transparency is.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: So important to people.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Well, you don't have anything if you don't have a
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: good name, especially in the Barbasville area. I mean, let's
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: face it, we're a small town and word gets around fast.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: We have social media. The last thing I want to
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: do is tarnish my personal name or our company's name,
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: and in a manner that would be fraudulent or any
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: anything indicative of a you know, some kind of a
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: lot or a misconception or somebody that didn't didn't get
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: what they what they thought they were going to get.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: As far as from a ripping and construction standpoint, in
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: my opinion, we're building customers for life. I want you
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: to when you think of your roof, I want you
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: to think of valor when you think of any kind
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: of construction, whether that be guttering or a bathroom remodel
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: or laying some flooring in your at your house. I
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: want to be the first person that comes to mind
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: in the area. And I want to do that based
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: off of our integrity and our honesty and our hard
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: work and our craftsmanship.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Your hard work shows that's for that's for darn short.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: You were just telling me that your guys, even in
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: this heat, they don't like to be sidelined.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: They're like going, it's okay, boss, We're ready to roll.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: That's correct.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it gets brutally hot up on these roofs,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: one hundred and forty plus degrees when you're out there
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: working in the sun. You know, when it's hot like this,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: you know, one of the things that we do for
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: you know, make sure our crews always have ice and
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: the ice chest with the water and taking a lot
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: more breaks. So what you know, in this heat.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: What a one day job normally would.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Be, it's gonna be most likely a two day job
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: nowadays for safety reasons, you know, we don't want to
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: rush rush through things. But also the pliability of these
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: the shingles when they get so hot, if they're not
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: careful handling them, you can damage them on the install
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: So you know, one of those things is you just
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: take care of the shingle, you know, if it's starting
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: to get too soft and pliable, then let's start again
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: in the morning.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to shoot your workday around. But this
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: is great and how and it just seems like you
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: guys were made to team up.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: It really does.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: We are me and Dan.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's all about honesty, having a partnership together.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: I've never lied to Dan, never as Dan lied to me.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: We don't argue about jobs. We come together collectively. We
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: work together, use his strengths, use my strengths, and you know,
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: you know, and if we if we which we never
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: really have, we never really disagree on a project, you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: because the foundation of what we're trying to do is,
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: you know, provide our customer with what they need, not
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: cut any corners per bride craftsmanship and build a brand
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: in the area.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: You know, how do we find Valor Construction in grouping?
