How Many Roofers Does it Take to Do the Garage?

Our home improve- ment saga continues. On the 17th, a crew from Ferguson Roofing arrived to re-shingle the garage that we share with our neighbor, Barb. We had this firm re-shingle our house in 2002 from storm damage, and were pleased with their work. They were the low bidder, too!

There were 8 men in the crew all together. They worked from 9 until 4 and cleaned up, mostly, although we are still finding nails. We can see the results of tightened immigration between the two cews. This crew was all anglo. The home roofing crew in 2002 was Hispanic, and only one spoke English. It took only 5 of them working from 8 to 5 to do our entire two-story house with weird roof lines. They worked hard all day without even a lunch break. The guys who did the garage brought a battery powered radio tuned to a hip hop station, supersize sodas, and a lot of verbal patter. They took an hour lunch break, too. But they did a quality job and we and are neighbor are pleased with the result. No more drips on the cars during rains, we now hope. We are supposed to get new gutters and downspouts from the same company, soon.
