    • @Zincink
      @Zincink 3 года назад +3

      Yeah mine gets stomped & dented cause it looks like the installer just folded some aluminum. So aggravating and super ugly. I’ve had some really terrible issues with contractors not doing quality work and as a fine artist it really kills me. Quality work matters. Even the drywall idiot didn’t mud the ceiling correct & it was wavy so I had to sand & patch it myself. He couldn’t even get one wall right. We need quality contractors in NJ.

    • @rikityrik
      @rikityrik Год назад

      Exactly what I’m doing now, I opted to make my own sill pan for under the door from a roll of aluminum flashing I had laying around. Just have to preplan on where the folds will go. You can use a sealant like Lexan to seal then put your rubber membrane over it working your way up. I know the comment is old, just commenting anyway. Good luck
