| 2009-11-19 | Bob | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks Brad, I will try to work on the flashing. If I continue to have problems I will replace the windows. If that doesn't work, I'll wrap the house in plastic and sell. |

| 2009-11-05 | Robert | 7 | 7 | 10 | 10 | No | I would have liked a discussion of my issues. This expert dismissed all my info and stopped at low slope and shingles. He didn't ask me what my slope was to see if it is indeed too low slope for shingles. My slope may indeed be enough that shingles would work, just not a steep pitch. He was concise. |

| 2009-11-04 | Keith | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | He went above and beyond the call of duty to answer my questions. |

| 2009-10-18 | Suruchi | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks a lot Brad. Looks like our town is not allowing any other pitch which is lower than 3:12. I had to call a new contractor who is planning to rip off the roof and then build a new structure.To be in compliance with the town rules we had no other way. |
| 2009-10-15 | Subba | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you very much for your response. Best Regards, Subba |
| 2009-10-12 | Martha | 7 | 10 | 10 | 7 | No | Thank you, Brad. Actually, the 26 gauge galvanized steel roofing is a good deal heavier than that sold at such big box stores as Lowe's or Home Depot. I found that for having to push the 13-foot sheets up onto the roof and for pre-drilling through it the 26 gauge is plenty heavy. Thank you for your prompt reply ~~ Martha L. Henning |

| 2009-09-18 | Geoff | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Brad responded very quickly to both my original question and the follow up-that was very much appreciated. Somehow my follow-up question went through twice and I apologize for that-i only did it once. |
