my roofer's not like this at all. he doesn't have beer breath. it's tequila.

i'm still waiting for our

- submitted by gussie on 02/16/2007

i'm still waiting for our roofer (a guy we paid 15k to put on a new roof) to call us back.

we're upstate ny. the storm has dumped snow, etc in our bedrooms. and the idiot hasn't even the courtesy to return my calls!

i try to treat my roofer

- submitted by frustratedtoo on 02/16/2007

i try to treat my roofer like my plumber. beg, plead, offer anything except sex.

still the guy barely shows interest. if he shows up, it's miracle. then when he does he often says he's got to come back because it's bigger than he thought.

i hate roofers. wish i married one.

we're in eastern pa. we've

- submitted by jill on 02/16/2007

we're in eastern pa. we've still got the plastic wrapped over our hole in the roof that the roofer taped on 2 months ago.

he was supposed to fix it then. now the plastic is blowing half off in the wind. nice!

i have a deal with my

i have a deal with my roofer. he comes within a week after i call and i don't call unless i have a real emergency. like if the house has collapsed and fallen into a bottomless pit filled with molten lava.

my roofer doesn't just drink before he gets to my house. he drinks at my house. bad news.

my roof now has a blue tarp

- submitted by stuckinhouse on 02/16/2007

my roof now has a blue tarp over it. the roofer put it there 2 weeks ago. i'm still waiting for him to come back.

i think my roofer shaves, though. i'm be thrilled if he didn't and drank constantly as long as he got here and did something!

hey, i don't khnow what

hey, i don't khnow what you're talking about. as soon as i finish this keg, i'll be right over!!!

roofers are people too. they

- submitted by devi on 02/16/2007

roofers are people too. they have families and i'm pretty sure they don't return their calls either.

i don't think they're the worst, though. gutter guys. worse by far.

our roofer came today. we've been waiting 4 days. he's a good guy but totally unreliable.

our upstairs bathroom was flooded from the storm. he came in and said, uh sorry.

i have few problems with roofers. they're just trying to make a living. so they don't look like wall street traders.

screw wall street traders.

i don't care how my roofer

- submitted by Anonymous on 02/17/2007

i don't care how my roofer looks, as long as he shows up.

it's true i don't think i've heard him speak much, other than grunts, but if he shows up, i could care less.

question is when is he going to show up. he came a couple days ago, said he'd be back to permanently patch the roof and he hasn't come yet. now that's pissing me off.

i used to do roofing over

- submitted by joey on 02/17/2007

i used to do roofing over summers during college.

there were 2 requirements: 1) decent balance, 2) willingness to consume beer at all times of the day.

i was great at 2, not so great at 1

i'm still waiting. near dobbs ferry, ny.

we're offering a reward to anyone who can deliver us a profess roofer in the shortest time. we're still waiting.

we're suing our roofer. he

- submitted by roofersuck on 02/18/2007

we're suing our roofer. he enlarged the hole, said he'd fix and disappeared. i had to go up on the roof myself to put plastic on.

a complete creep. and, yes, he never shaved.

my wife is a roofer. i wish.

- submitted by marriedtoaroofer on 02/18/2007

my wife is a roofer. i wish. but she refuses to call our because she says he's a pig.

we call 10 at a time any time we have aproblem. even the guy who originally put on our new roof is unreliable.

roofer rock! never shaving,

roofer rock! never shaving, wearing tatoos and dirty clothes. i'm all for it. maybe i'll try it at my job at the investment bank this tuesday.

Roofers like cocaine

- submitted by Nevarmihnd on 08/02/2007

All the roofers - no exception - know do drugs. Ask you roofer if he parties. Offer him a line. He'll be back with a full crew if he thinks there'll be more or you won't fire him for bringing his own. Additionally, this tactic can be successful with contractors, carpenters, and especially landscapers.

* Disclaimer* I don't know every roofer. I apologize in advance for offending any clean roofers. I also apologize to few suburbanites who don't maintain the outward facade of perfect-upstanding citizen, then secretly light up a joint after the kids are in bed.

whaah.

you got a leak? so does about ten thousand other people. they called first, are more pleasant, and have real issues. there are only so many hours in the day, and nice days to do it on.

go get a bucket, a towel, kitty litter, or some other thing to soak up water, and be patient. if you piss us off we will never come. as far as the guys who took you money and ran, while leaving you worse off than when you started. you should have thought about that before you shopped for the lowest bidder. you people got what you deserved. why should i RUSH over to your house when you didn't call me to do the job in the first place? do you think anyone can make a living repairing leaks? and no i don't know why it's leaking. it's leaking because i didn't do the job in the first place. you can't see leaks, as most are hidden under a shitty job. all i can do is tear it out and re-do it properly.

yes it will cost you four hundred dollars[or more], so don't bitch at me for the high price of fixing another shitty contractor's blunder. you should have researched the guy you planned on protecting your whole house, rather than let some idiot right out of prison do the job for a few hundred dollars less. didn't you think of getting a few referrals?

you people make me sick, it's no wonder i drink.

and another thing or two.

- submitted by the roofer on 12/18/2007

some of you that commented are prolly the type that forgets to leave your phone number when calling. nothing more i hate that to get bitched at for not calling back when you never left the phone number in your nasty message in the first place. i don't have the phone book or even past clients phone numbers memorized. i'm usually retrieving messages from a cell phone on the road. LEAVE YOU NUMBER STUPID. it costs me hundreds of dollars a year for a criss cross directory to cater to you imbeciles, and it only shows listed numbers. leave a CLEAR detailed message with a phone number and address. don't assume we can understand your garbled voice, leave that stuff twice.

to you old people...get an answering machine. how the hell do i know i have to call back three times because it takes you that long to get up from your death bed to answer the phone.

get a cable modem or call waiting too. nobody likes calling back and getting a busy signal. how about leaving some times when you know you will be home? or a friggin' work number? if i have to jump through hoops to lose money on a service call, i'm definitely NOT interested in your roof problem.

now where is that tequila?

I am a fancy big city wall street trader and can tell you that roofers would know how to short sell even if they had bullets sitting on thier laps. Therefore they are not good at partying. Also they look like major league all-star Mark McGwire, no joke.

Dear roofers,

Please stop coming to our state every year. Your debauchery is ruining our good name, and we're running out of alcohol.

Sincerely,

You think roofers are that bad? Sure they poop in a corner, shed hair everywhere, have a heavy right foot and have a disposition that makes Dick Cheney look like Lil Miss Sunshine and those are the good points. If you want worse look no further then guys who work HVAC, it's a miracle they can see anything through all of the weed smoke.
