Complaints on Roofers Rise 40% This Year
Door-to-Door Home Repair/Roofers - Complaints to BBB specifically about roofing companies across the country increased by roughly 40 percent last year, due in part to one company, American Shingle. There were nearly 1,000 complaints after the company went bankrupt and didn't provide new roofs to angry customers.
Uncle Sam Does It Again!!
Uncle Sam Does It Again!!
On Dec. 22, 2010, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued an "instruction" that cancels OSHA's interim enforcement policy on fall protection for certain residential construction activities, replacing it with new compliance guidelines.
The new instruction essentially eliminates the option of using slide guards in residential construction on roofs with slopes of up to 8-in-12. Employers now must instead use safety nets, guardrails or personal fall-arrest systems on residential construction projects where the slope is greater than 4-in-12 and the potential for a fall from one level to another is 6 feet or greater.
This is just another example of big government’s BS and meddling in things they don’t have a clue about.
Can you see a roofer using a rope and harness to roof a 5/12, one story house? Come On Man!!!
