  Speaker 2: It really says a lot because, you know, they're doing
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: the job, but they're doing it valiantly.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, correct.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: So, you know, one of the things that we pride
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: ourselves on is obviously our roots and being a veteran
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: is important and bringing those values that you learn in
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: the service to the service on your homes.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Now, what kind of, I know you do roofing. What
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: else do you do?
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: So we do, uh, ground up builds. We've done, uh,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: we've built a few houses up in Copan. We've got, um,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: a lot of, you know, just redoing people's patios from
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: the windstorm in July. I mean, that's a lot of
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: patios got damaged and, you know, this gives people the
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: opportunity to do some upgrades, you know, insurance is paying
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: for X amount of dollars. And, you know, if you
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: want to upgrade it, then, Hey, let's, now's the time
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: to do it. And we, we just completed one, uh, on, uh,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: last week and it came out really beautiful and the
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: customer loves it. So we're real excited about that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: My goodness sakes.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: You know, fall is also a time to, like you said,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: you know, summertime can really beat on your roof. It
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: can beat on your home. It can beat on your
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: business and you don't just stop at homes. You work
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: on businesses too, don't you?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: We can do commercial work. There's, there's, uh, no problem
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: that there's really nothing we can't do.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: We have, we have connects.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: If they don't work in house for us, we have, plumbers, electricians,
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: you know, all kinds of trades that we can bring
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: onto the job site.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Like Dan said, we can do ground up builds.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: We did three small houses in Copan for Hammer Time Construction. And,
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: you know, we worked with them hand in hand. They're
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: a property management company here in town. And so, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: we're just constantly, you know, I mean, whether it be
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: rebuilding a fence, I mean, we're not, like you said,
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: we're not just about roofing. I mean, if we show
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: up on the job site, we can do your soffit.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: We can do your fascia. We've got guttering guys. We
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: have tree trimming services we work with constantly. And we
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: bring on contractors that have the same values as us,
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: not just your typical, you know, the cheapest guy gets
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: the job mentality.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: We want it done. We want it done right. And,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: you know, if.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: That's the kind of service that you want for your
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: property and you put value into your home, That's what.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: We're here to do.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So you're looking for the best fit all the way around. Absolutely.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: You're going to look for what works best for the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: customer and what's going to give you the best outcome, too.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Being on the job with several other different trades, you
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: build different kinds of networking along with that too. And
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you get a little bit of a handle on what
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: they're all about and who might be best for some
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: of the jobs you're doing.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: To work side by side with you. Yep.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: So we're very particular on what subcontractors we bring in
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: to do certain specific jobs. One of the things that
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I really enjoy doing is working directly with the customer
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: and making sure that All the fine details of the
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: project get done the way they want it done. And
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: at the end of the day, we're not done with
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: that job until that customer is happy.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: And sometimes somebody might just say, well, can you just
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: fix it?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Well, what do you want it to look like?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: And it's not, you know, we want to, everybody needs
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to share the same view of what the outcome is
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: going to be.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: That's great. It takes a great deal of patience sometimes
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: on that. Oh, yeah. Indeed. Indeed. where can we find you?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, uh, you've got the Facebook and, uh, websites
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: and things like that.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we've got a website. Um, and we got, we
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: got a website. You can just look us up, Ballard Construction.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, a good way to find us is on, is,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: is through Facebook and social media.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Um, we do have an office right here in town.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: Um, Chelsea, our office manager is usually in there from
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: about eight to four and it's right off highway 75.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: It's right next door to, uh, Tallgrass Motors.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. I know exactly where you are.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: So he's been there a long time. Everybody kind of

  Speaker 5: seems to know where Tallgrass is. But we're right next

  Speaker 1: You can find us.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we've got our numbers plastered on our vehicles. We're
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: in all the neighborhoods. And, you know, we're just trying
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: to do people right. It's hard times right now. I mean,
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: gasoline is extremely... expensive right now and we're trying to
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: uh you know keep away from fuel surcharges and increase
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: pricing and all that as best we can i'm obviously
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: some of that comes along and trickles into the business
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: but so.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Far we've we've held pretty strong we've held pretty strong.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: On that so chelsea's the one that's got like three
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: or four phones going at the same time.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Right yeah so she's she's always on the on the
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: move on the phone you know getting things handled Turning
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: in warranties, all kinds of paperwork. I mean, it's, you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: the stuff that I really don't like doing. I'd rather
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: be out talking to the people, you know.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I understand how that goes. I really do.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Now, when it comes down to, you know, the business
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: end of it, too, everybody needs to know, bought it, insured,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: everything ready to go.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes that kind.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Of gets missed, especially after a storm when you maybe
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: are working with folks you don't know. That's why I
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: strongly suggest you work with people you do know right
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: here in our area of valor.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: You know, this is an important thing for our customers
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: to understand is that, you know, whenever you're vetting your company,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: whatever company you're choosing to go with, you know, you can,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: if it was me, I would do the follow-up call. Say, hey, look,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I want to find out who do you guys source
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: your material from? Call the material company. Ask them if
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: they're in good standing. If that company isn't in good
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: standing with their accounts, what makes, you know, what at
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: what point do you think they're going to do a
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: good job on your roof? And then, and then also
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: it opens you up for liability. Uh, if they get
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: material and they don't pay their bill, then that company can,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: at that point, put a lien on the customer's house.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't know that.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: These are all things that are important that, uh, you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: check out your roofing company, check out your contractor that
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: for your remodel, uh, do your due diligence. And, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: for us, you know, we, we pride ourselves on doing
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: the things the right way and, making sure all of
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: our bills are paid and nobody's going to be filing
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: a lien on your property when you do business with us.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Boy, that's reassurance and a half. Thanks for letting people
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: know that. That's awesome. Now, you've owned several properties in
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the area, but prior to getting into Ballard Construction, with
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: properties come repairs, come upgrades, come things like this. So
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you didn't come into this blindly, did you?
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: No, I've been, I've been buying properties since 2004 in
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: the Barsville area and, you know, Copan Dewey all the
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: way up into Caney, Kansas, Ramona, Oceleta. So I've been
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: down every street. I've been down every, I've, I've, I've
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: scanned everywhere. I know the, the main thing that I
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: know is the good guys to work with. I know who,
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: I know the guys in town that are going to
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: do the job that are going to do it right.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: That have the insurance that are going to, going to work. Um,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: They're going to work out.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Usually people, you know, and we do sometimes, but if
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: they're begging for work and knocking on doors and things
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: like that and just you got to be careful with
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: that kind of stuff because you don't know nothing about
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: those people.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: And it's just, you know, we're here. We're here to stay. And,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: you know, we're here to win.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I like that. I like that. And, of course, what
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: is your phone number, by the way? You got plastered
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: all over your truck.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: It's 918-805-2898.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Well, there you go. Commit that to memory, everybody. And
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: if you didn't get it, just get on the Facebook
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: or the Googles. Look for Valor Construction and Roofing. Now,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: getting into the roofing thing. This summer's been brutal.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: First part, we.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Had the torrential rains and storms.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Then it got hot.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: We had a couple more storms. Then it got hot again.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: What kind of a beating does that do to what's
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: up above you?
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: So, you know, the roof, your roof surface is susceptible
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: to all of the elements of our weather. It does
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: get beat up pretty hard, especially on an older roof.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: It's even harder on that older roof in the heat.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: It starts losing granules over time. and all of these
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: things are just are problems waiting to happen now a
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: lot of times on these older roofs sometimes we can
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: go up and patch patch them up and repair them
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: and it doesn't need a full replacement if it's in
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: good enough shape we're not going to always offer a
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: full replacement if it doesn't need it you know we're
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: We pride ourselves on, hey, if it just needs a
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: simple $ 200, $ 300 repair, let's go ahead and just do
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: the repair. No need to spend $ 20, 000 when $ 500 will
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: fix it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I'll give you an example.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: One of my properties I purchased in Bartlesville, we had
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: a tree limb fall on it. And Dan got up
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: there and the team got up there. They inspected the roof. Well,
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: one thing that we found that the decking was not
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: up to code. So we reached out to the insurance company.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: The roof was only four years old. So we had
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: a four-year-old roof that was laid and installed on the
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: decking that was not up to code. So somebody, they
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: slapped a Band-Aid on that house. But luckily, Dan caught
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: it in the inspection. The insurance company stepped up. They
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: did their job. They covered it.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: And we got new decking, got a new roof on
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: that property.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Good eye. Good eye. It's a great nose.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: If your roofer isn't looking in your attic, that's an issue.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: You always need to be checking the attic, looking at
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: the decking and the underside, making sure that that substrate
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: that the shingles are going to go on is in
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: good shape because the shingles are only as good as
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: what's underneath them.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: If it's not good, they're going to fall in or
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: fall away. Neither one is going to do you any good.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: This is great to have you guys here in town
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: and in our area and solidly placed. A veteran owned
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: and operated. And, of course, you know, just the right
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: people for the right job. And, folks, I want you
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: to give them a call if you're in the market
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: for this. Or if you're just thinking. You were mentioning,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: if you just have an idea, it doesn't hurt to
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: talk about ideas just to get like a ballpark figure.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely. We'll do that, too.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: You have no problem sitting down and asking questions and
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: getting a vision, do you?
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: No.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Give us a call.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: We'll give you an inspection. We'll look things over. And
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: if the job comes to fruition, we'll get it taken care.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Of for you. All right.
