How Many Mexicans Does It Take To Do A Roof?


This is a picture of the house across the street. A number of houses right around us have been using the same roofing company to replace our roofs and gutters, due to a huge storm that came through the area and ripped up our shingles. We are waiting to have our roof replaced, and I'm totally excited about it. We have already chosen our new shingles, and we still need to pick out a color for our gutters/downspouts.

This company does a good job, and they are super fast. Can you guess how long it took, from start to finish, to set up, rip off the old shingles, put on a new roof, clean up and pack up and go on this house? THREE HOURS!
That's because there are about 20 men working on it at full speed.

And they are all Mexican. Which is probably why the company can afford to give us the higher quality shingles, ice barriers, etc. using the insurance proceeds. I'm totally not complaining. But it is noteworthy. So take note.
And if you are in the Columbus area, and need a new roof...you should call this company. They are called Allstate Contractors LLC. And, yes, I do get $50 if you say I told you to call...but everyone around here has been super pleased with their work.
