I knew there was a problem, however I wasn’t sure how to approach this man
For the last twenty years, I had been a roofer until I fell off a ladder, however the customers’s dog was running under the ladder, and just I stepped onto the top rung, the dog darted under the ladder and sent it sliding sideways, however i tried to grab onto the roof, however I couldn’t quite get a wonderful hold of it. Three weeks later, I was still in a hospital reuseing from a broken back and hip. I hadn’t worked since, and now I needed to have my roof upgraded. I called a roofing business and asked for a quote to have my roof upgraded, but he showed up at the home and started doing an estimate, and I almost fainted when I saw the bottom line. I hadn’t worked in a year, however I didn’t guess the price of roofing material had gone up so high! Nor did I guess the wages of non-contract roofers had gone so high. I knew there was a problem, however I wasn’t sure how to approach this man. He seemed to be the style of man who thought he knew everything, my husband came home 5 minutes later, and I showed his the quote. Before I thought, he was laughing and told the man I would have never tried to bilk a client this badly… She asked if I had told him I was a roofer until a year ago? The man swallowed difficult and took the paperwork back while telling me he had transposed some numbers, which made the price nearly $5000 more than it should be.
