  Speaker 2: Congratulats, thank you. I appreciate that doing fantastic.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: It's great to talk with you. And uh, I'm going
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to ask you a really we're going to talk about
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: ultimate roofing solution with Larson Kini Home Services. And I'm
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: gonna start off by asking what sounds like a really
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: dumb question, but it is. It is way more in
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: talking with you over this, uh this past decade or so,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: it is a way more involved answer, especially when you
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: talk to somebody who knows roofs which is what exactly
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: does a roof do. And I think for a lay
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: person we say it keeps water off of out of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: our house. But to somebody that does what you do roofs,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: they do a lot. And there's a lot more to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a roof than what you see, isn't there.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Most of what makes up a roof you can't see.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: And that's what I love being able to come on
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: here and educate people about You know, what is a
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: saying that I always say. I always say, you can
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: put the best shingle in the world, most expensive shingle
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: in the world, coolest rubber, newest, neatest thing on your roof,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: but if the stuff underneath it isn't done properly, it
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: will leak.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Seen it so many times someone gets a new roof,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: we listen.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: We lose jobs all the time because we're just too
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: expensive for some people. And it doesn't make me feel good,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: but sometimes it gives me a little bit of knowing
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: that we're doing the right thing when we will lose
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: a job and then go get called back a year
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: later because they went with someone else, and they admitted
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: we went with somebody else much cheaper, and now our
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: new roof is leaking and their old roof didn't leak.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: That's the crazy part, right, Like my old roof didn't leak.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: It just looked like it was falling apart. So it's
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: time for a new roof, and we found someone much
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: much cheaper than you. This has actually happened multiple times
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: this year already, and they want us to come out
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: and inspect it and let them know what's wrong so
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: they can go after the other contractor. It's it's really,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know what to say. It's an odd feeling.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: It's kind of weird. It's like, oh, you want me
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: to help you, but which we do. Look, well, here's
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: what I see.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I see a lot of times roof We call them
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a roofover So, yeah, my roof didn't leak before they
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: came and gave me a quote that was.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Half the price, and we respond with, well, if it's
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: half the price, has got to be half the roof.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Listen like there's something wrong. And then we get a
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: call back a.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Year later and it's leaking, well because they and they
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: didn't tear the old roof off. So now we took
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: the old roof that wasn't leaking, didn't take it off,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: didn't do any of the critical details, any of the
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: flashing new ice water, new underlayment. But now what we
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: did was put about twenty thousand more holes in it, right,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: so now it leaks. So when I talk about roofing,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I specifically want to talk about our urs, our ultimate
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: roofing solution. And again, this is something that it's not
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: something that I mean, anybody else can do it. Any
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: other roofing company could do it, they could use the
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: same stuff, they could do it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: The same way.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Most of the time they won't because they're trying to
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: hit a price point. Now listen, we have other roofs
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: that will hit price points. But our ultimate roofing solution
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: to me is the one and done for a very
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: very Listen, if you plan and stand in your house
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: for a very long time, or you just built a
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: house and you're gonna stay there till you die, this
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: is a one and done solution. We use the best
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: underlayments on the market, the best synthetic breathable underlayments on
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the market.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And why is breathable important?
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Well, Listen, sometimes attic ventilation is inadequate. I mean, if
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: we haven't worked up there, it might not be after
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: we're done it would be, but it might not be adequate.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: You get moisture, you get condensation.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And good synthetic underlayments are waterproof, but they're breathable, you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: kind of like I don't know what materials people, uh,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: gore Tex, Yeah, stuff like that, Like, yeah, waterproof but breathable.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: So we're basically like putting a gore text underlayment. Now
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: everybody knows you ever bought a gore Tex rainsuit. I
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: have because I fish a lot. The pants and the
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: and the code are like one thousand dollars, so it's expensive,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and the and the synthetic underlayment that's breathable is expensive
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: as well. We use the top of the line ice
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: in water. It's not granulated on it. It sticks together better,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: it sticks down better, and we use more of it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: One of the biggest areas of concern always for us
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: is a valley. A valley is like a gutter for
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: your roof. Different roof planes are channeled to that valley
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: and they converge there. But the worst part is that
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: debris sits there, sticks, twigs, leaves, ice, and snow builds
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: up there. So back in the very beginning, when we
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: first started roofing. The basic way to do a valley
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: is to lay some ice and water down, although some
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: people don't even lay ice and water down, but lay
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: ice and water down overlap your underlayments and shingle. But
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: every time we went to do a roof where we
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: found leak spots and rotten wood was in the valley,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: so I knew that wasn't sufficient. So not only do
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: we lay ice that we're going to lay metal. We're
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: going to lay a row of ice and water, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: then off that metal we're going to lay more ice
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: and water. We basically make a gutter for the valley
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: so it won't leak. We use a lot more underlayments,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: we use a lot more ice and water.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's more expensive, but.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: That valley is not going to leak. I mean it
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: is bulletproof. Can't do it any better way. When it
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: comes to pipe boots, we're using upgraded pipe boots with.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: With synthetic rings that aren't going to dry rod.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: We're going to do always the best bridge cap, the
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: best ridge ventilation. So bottom line is, over the years,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: with a lot of experience, we've come up with the
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: best way to do an asphalt roof that I believe
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: can possibly be done. I'd love someone to go on
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: our social media pages if they find a better way
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to do it. I would love to know, because I'm
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: not the smartest person in the world. But on top
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: of that, it is going to get a fifty year
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: non pro rated labor and material warranty, So once it's up,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: if there's something wrong, if that thing leaks, if those
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: shingles go bad, you're covered. And it's not a pro
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: rated warranty that goes down. You know, at year five
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: it is one hundred percent coverage. So if you paid
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: twenty five five thousand dollars for that roof today and
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: in twenty.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Five years your your roof goes bad, But.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: In twenty five years that roof costs forty thousand dollars,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: it's covered for forty thousand dollars.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: That's absolutely You talk about just how amazing that is
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and standing behind that the job that you guys are doing.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: And we started this conversation off about talking a little
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: bit about that, and you know, we're all very money conscious.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: You know, we've got it. You've got to watch how
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you're spending. You think about the best place to put
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: your money. Typically your home. Your biggest investment is that,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and they always will tell you the most expensive job
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: is the one that you have to do twice. You know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: doing it right the first time, making that commitment upfront.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I know one of the great things too at Larsonkini
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Home Services is you guys have absolutely phenomenal financing options
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: for folks as well if people are dealing with issues.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I know, one of the things that's also very important
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to you and everybody at Larsonkini Home Services, Andrew, is
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: if there are people that are in a situation where
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: we're we're talking dire, where there is water coming another
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of things, you guys really will make as much of
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: an effort as humanly possible to make sure that that
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: issue gets resolved. Find ways to get these things fixed
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: for folks. And that's I know, that's that's something that's
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: really important to you. But it really does go back
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to that that original point, which is there's there's multiple
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: ways to do this stuff, and and for consumers, you
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: want to make sure you're if you're going to do
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: this stuff, you really want to have that conversation about
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the ultimate roofing solution. You really want to learn about
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that because having it done once, having that guarantee, that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: non pro rated warranty as well, that literally figuratively and
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: literally andrew that goes a long way.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: It goes a really really long ways.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: And I listen, like, even at year twenty five, you
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: sell your house, it can transfer.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Now, you got you better be more organized than me,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: better better able to transfer the warranty. But uh, it
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: can transfer one time.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: And uh that's what we tell people, like, hey, save
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: this somewhere with me. I'd probably lose it the second day,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: but either way, you're covered for a very long time.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: It is absolute. I mean, it's absolute peace of mind.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: And again, I don't know of a better way to
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: do it, gaf backs.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I mean the way that we do it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: In order for us to give a Golden Pledge warranty,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: things have to be done a certain way and we
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: have to use certain materials. This Ultimate Roofing solution goes
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: so far above and beyond what they require. Because here's
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: the deal. Having a warranty is one thing, but having
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: to actually use that warranty is another thing. Saying you
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: know what, I've got this warranty and if anything goes wrong,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: they'll fix it, and I'm covered.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: But here's the difference.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: If you have to use that warranty, that means that
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: you probably had a leak. That means that you probably
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: had water come in. And I don't want anybody. Yes
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: we'll come back and fix it, and yes GAF will
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: cover it, and it's all good, but who wants to
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: have to do that? So I wanted to like up
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: the ante and do it better than they require because
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I don't want anybody to ever.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Have to use it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: And that's the type of stuff that we pride ourselves
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: that I pride myself on.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Again, now we have different price points. We go to.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: People's houses all the time. They're like, well, I don't
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: have enough money for this, but what about this payment?
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Because people never think about it. I mean, we've got optioned, Sean.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: We have a payment option where we could do your
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: entire roof. It could cost fifty grand do your entire roof.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: You didn't have to give us one dime, not a penny,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: And after that roof is done, you don't have to
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: pay for it for a year.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: You didn't have to pay anything for a year, and
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: then after.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: That it actually rolls into a ten year at six
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: point nine to nine with no penalty at paying off early.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Like when people will say I need to go to
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: check with my bank. A bank canno beat that can't
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: do it, won't happen.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: No bank has.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: So we've got payments that can fit almost everybody's budget,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: and that's what we try to do.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: No race not to start that conversation. This morning, I
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: have folks and Andrew and the whole team from Larsentini
