Rajun, just curious on how the contractor selection process plays out. What made you select pelican proofing before these questions were answered?



In my case, eager beats pretty. I recently did some research on the Fortified grant program, and looked at the list of approved installers in the BR Area. They were on that relatively short list. They seem to come highly recommended here (just search for 'pelican" in the home board).

AND... Garcia has recently done work for me. They put in extra vents this summer and repaired/rebuilt my chimney 3 weeks ago. In the chimney repair process they damaged my shingles where they put their ladders.

They've dodged me for 7 days trying to get someone to come look at my damaged shingles. IF they had come out and fixed the $100 screw up, they'd have likely had the contract.

They skated me and managed to hide their way out of a full roof job.

There are many other things that go into the taping the seams vs ice and water. The felt is laid differently. Drip edge nailed differently. Decking must be renailed. Lots and lots and lots of pictures must be taken. Evaluator must be aware of the process and oversee things.

Curious…which farm bureau office are you with?
