Warren Michigan and California are worlds apart. You must have two businesses ah? The link to Pride Roofing says 25 years under one license. Now call me stupid but what two states share the same license? Your signatures shows 35 years experiance and the link shows the roofer with 25 years experiance.

Your web site shows pictures of cup cake roofs the link shows pictures of very complicated roofs.

Same roofer/person? Me thinks NOT.

Or you could be doing do so well you operate your business out of Michigan.

Another perfect example of somebody trying to be somebody there not on the internet.

Jeez Pride, it sure is easy to get you going.


though I do find it odd that you don't have a website, especially with all the pictures that you could show people.

Well i tried it a few years back and got zero leads for 1 year at a cost of 300 bucks. Now i know its a write off but personally the other advertizing I do is fine. As far as the getting me going thing, when someone sez a absolutly moronic comment like that it is troublesome to me. I have customers com to this site and that is not good to read. I personally think he should stick in new con where the lazy money is and be content with the little cash it pays. Oh dougger i put some more pics up for you that I personally did.

You need to read the whole post before responding, and take it easy. This forum nor this business or any other business is worth having a heart attack.

You would do what, exactly? What makes you above criticism? Are you the perfect roofer? Is any one of us the perfect roofer? NO. We are (supposed to be) here to learn from each other, but every post you make is chock full of insults, criticism, name calling, etc. This is the internet, you need to learn not to take it so personally. I enjoy coming here, and I learn alot from reading the posts here, but if I get banned tomorrow...oh well. It's not like this is my job, my income, it's a place to come and relax, learn, and discuss...ahem...DISCUSS...like civilized people, the art and business of roofing.

and BTW again, if I was a potential customer, and I read some of the things you say to other people in order to "raise" your own status, my potential as a customer, would be gone. There are ALOT of quality roofing companies out there, you're not the only one.

i agree pride, i have gotten mad in the past for dumb replies here, and its not even worth even arguing.... JP has a point, however you should be able to reply in this way if you want too.. freedom of speech, we can't let it get to us.

Can we all just get along, as nice roofers???

But then again we are roofers and ever since i started in roofing tearing-off roofs there has been arguing from like who will pay the gas to the guy carpooling or who is a faster tear-off guy all the way to the main contractor guys like example this forum.

Wow, this post turned wild!

Sorry if I offended anybody here I didn't mean to. Just trying to make some sense of what the whole PRIDE ROOFING situation was all about.

Pride, if you think there's only poor and lazy money in new construction didn't you read my post about new roofs and annual dollar amounts? 6 figures a year doing only new roofs not having to deal with homeowners and selling on a daily basis not to mention having to worry about tearing off with a chance of rain? Great money me thinks!!! Tearing off is tough work don't get me wrong but don't most roofing contractors hire grunts for this job anyways? I really like doing tear offs not only for the satisfaction of knowing the roof is better in both apearance but also usually better in quality when done. The sad thing is usually only 1 in 20 houses I rip the quality looks good and that's not saying great!

Pride, I'll be nice if your nice!!!
