Small Businesses of CP - Help us by letting us help you

[dlphg9]

Someone had a good idea in another thread. DaFace, a top 10 mod on this site, seemed cool with it. DaFace thought itd be best to not post contact info or business name in here, but what your business does and if someone needs your services they can PM you. If you want your business added to OP you can PM me exactly what you want posted or post in thread and I will copy and paste. If we get enough interest maybe we can get this stickied.

Edit - Please let me know if you are serious. I can catch most of the fake stuff, but some sound kinda crazy but also could be real.

Dlphg9 - General Contractor - We specialize in insurance claims. We do roofing and guttering. We will work in eastern KS and the west half of MO. We stay busy with local stuff, but can always use more work especially now, with all this coronavirus stuff and before the last 2 days haven't had much in the way of hail. We had some good hail the last couple of days and just because your roof isn't leaking right now doesn't mean it isn't damaged, so if you haven't had your roof looked at in the last few years reach out to me via PM. We take care of everything besides calling in the claim. Alot of people have been paying for decades and never use their home owners insurance, so you might as well get some of that money back by having them pay for a new roof. If you have any questions at all reach out to me.

Even if you don't personally need something done I will give $100 if you can get me in touch with someone and it leads to a job. I will also donate $100 for each job that comes from here to CP.

DaFace & Rainman - It's probably unlikely that anyone here would need it, but if anyone ever needs help with market research (surveys, focus groups, demographic modeling, etc.), give Rain Man or I a shout.

Mililo4cpa - I run the consulting department for a small business management consulting firm.....we only work with privately held companies. Our general consulting client is between $20M - $30M in revenue, 20-30 employees, but certainly have done much smaller clients and some significantly larger.

Most clients are contractors or manufacturers, but plenty of distribution, automotive (dealers and repair shops), retail, restaurants, etc.

We look at all aspects of the business: Financial, Organizational, Operations, and Sales/Marketing. Most clients are family owned businesses or small partnerships, peppered in with some sole proprietors....

There is more that I could say, but in the essence of not giving away too much information, I'll relegate it to PMs

Good idea for a thread.

I have a question for you given your line of work.


We have a tile roof here in the Valley of the hot as ****. At some point, the underlayment will need to be replaced. All the tiles look fine.

I had some leaking this winter but I think due to maintenance neglect of my own. I had a dead valley spot on the roof and dirt/leaves collected very heavily. As it rained, the water was unable to drain and created a 2" mud basin where eventually the water got under the Z flashing and stucco area and leaked into the house ruining a small portion of my office wall.

The roof is 17 years old and the quote for new underlayment was around $14k. How do I get my insurance to pay for this?

I don't think there is a way to get them to pay for it. How many SQs is your roof? Honestly I wouldn't involve your insurance company at all, since the damage was your neglect. They might drop you.

I can't tell if you were being sincere with the "top 10 mod" comment or facetious. (We only have 8....)

I meant in the future, not because of this issue. How often would insurance pay for new underlayment? Would I have to have significant damage for them to pay?

I would second this, and I can confirm that it's accurate.

I am a faucet tester. If you require faucet testing, I can check both the hot and cold faucet for a modest charge.

I'm a hog farmer- any hog related questions I am most definitively the resident expert on Chiefsplanet. Don't even think about asking anyone else about hogs.

Do you wear those shoes when out with the hogs?

Well of course. I also make my hogs wear shoes.

I'd say there is no chance to get them to pay for only the underlayment. I know you don't have many hail storms out there, but your best bet would be hoping for a tennis ball sized hail storm to come through and absolutely wreck those tiles or if you had a hail storm just come break a few tiles on each slope, then depending on britleness of the tiles they could pay for the entire roof (underlayment, flashing, tiles) due to the lack of repairability of the roof.

So your best bet is hoping for a once in a lifetime hail storm.

So you had an estimate to just replace the underlayment and it was $14k? Answer this question, how big is your roof in square feet? Because that seems incredibly high.

2300 sq foot house and 2 car garage. Single story. Seemed high to me too but I think it’s labor intensive with these heavy concrete tiles.

[candyman]

I dont have a small business but I am looking for someone to do a small concrete patio extension. Roughly a $2500 job located in Christian County Missouri. If I could help someone here out I'd be happy to, the guy I normally use pissed me off last year.
