I can tell who got the worst contractor on Instagram just by driving past their house. It’s a weird skill nobody asks for. I’m not even trying to inspect your roof, I’m just driving to my next job and my eyes lock onto flashing that’s already failing, patch jobs I know are leaking, fans so low quality they’re not pulling a fraction of the heat they should. Half the time the ventilation is placed in the wrong spot entirely, which just creates more damage instead of preventing it. And adding two fans doesn’t mean you’re pulling more air, if they’re too close together they actually fight each other and cancel out.
And what’s even crazier, most of the time you only need one fan, because it’s based on square footage, not vibes. But the rebuttal I get is that the previous guy suggested two to get more out of it. So somehow the client equates more money with better quality work. But hey, what do I know, right?
I see it constantly. The wild part is those same homeowners never found me or anyone who actually knows what they’re looking at before they handed their money over. It’s incredible how common bad work is once you know what to look for.
