I think the best thing we can do as a professional roofing contractor is always be honest with our futures customers . Install the same materials that you offer in the selling process , and don’t ask for any money before install.
Exceptional video clip. Perfectly paced, covering all the fundamentals for the new roofing system repairer like myself, such as tools needed, roof shingles removal sequence, and also number of nails and also the placement of the nails. Gives the visitor degrees of self-confidence towards the job available. Thanks Terrific work! this video is extremely helpful. Really thoughtful, logical, and also in-depth, and with great demeanor! Very much valued This is among the best videos I have actually seen. Precise, clearly advised and plainly showed. great ... simply great.
Tried to scale too big too quickly, all the new jobs deposits were going towards older customers constructions. The typical debt cycle, it can happen to anyone in this industry if they don't know their numbers
Nothing is more expensive than a bad roof. Our first roof was originally $10k. But the roofer left us with a roof which needed $4,500 in repairs. Then the roofer took us to court stating we were trying to steal from him when we demanded he fix the roof to make it correct. HA! it didn't work. Then I discovered the roofer had not allowed my fiancé to pay a deposit. So the claim through the Calif State Licensing Board was denied on a technicality. Because there was no financial loss. No Deposit = No Loss ... Even though he was billing us $10k. Then the roofer took it to Supreme Court instead of small claims when we demanded he fix the roof to make it correct. Then litigated this for 2 years. In the end we were forced to settle out of court for fear of having to pay $50k in court fees to defend ourselves. We had an attorney step in upon the 2nd year. She advised us to settle for $7,500 & then pay her $6,000 so we didn't end up with $50k in Supreme Court case fees. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. That roofer filed a second claim asking for $31,000 in attorney fees. It was denied. That was our only moment of justice. THE GOOD NEWS IS ........... ............................................... RESEARCH PAID OFF BY NOTICING OTHER ............................................... ISSUES WE NEEDED TO ADDRESS: - We discovered there was not enough air flow in our attic. .........We resolved this........we had to add 20 Soffit Vents & 2 Attic Vent Fans. - Electrical inspection revealed fault wiring in our attic & we fixed it. - Discovered more dry-rot in our attic roof + chimney closet. We fixed it. - Discovered we needed to increase insulation from R5 to R50. + We added a cat walk to our attic for easy access Only $200. + We added lighting in our attic $75. + We added a 2nd Attic fan. + We replaced 2 new bathroom fans. More powerful "whisper quiet" motors. + We added 2 house vent fans (to get rid of hot air in summer & odors). + We added $400 in structural Hurricane Ties to the rafters of our roof which helps protect us in an earthquake. + We added 4 sun tunnels in rooms where there is no sun light. WHEN IT CAME FOR THE NEW 2nd ROOF. - We stripped off the inferior roofing to expose all dry rot. - We repaired all dry rot. - We replaced all the plywood "in the eves" with 1 inch Ply. - We added a 1/2 plywood to the rest of the roof. Entire roof is now level. - All new wood in the Eaves & Fascia and Trim received 2 coats of prime & 2 coats of paint prior to installing (all 6 sides). - Added a layer of Grace Brand "Ice and Water shield" gutter to gutter. ............This made our roof water tight UNDER the Roofing Shingles. ............This also gave each shingle nail a water tight gasket. ............This also increased the tinsel strength in lateral roof movement. - We Upgraded to roofing shingles by Malarkey Brand [Legacy shingles]. ....This 50 Year Shingle will protect the water barrier created BY "Grace Brand - Ice and water shield" 50-100 yrs.

The guy is a narcissist.. hell no he is not going to pay any money back. He should be in jail.. We don't ask for money upfront, I just ask for money when materials show up.
Thank you Demetris, we are in Colorado also. He is not paying anything. He is sitting on that money in my opinion, or gambled it. Wow I love making deals and creating roof systems. This guy gives roofers a bad name.
Can you imagine with his salesman abilities if he was just a straight up guy??!!!! He'd be Ritch!!! But I guess hit and run is more exciting for this individual. Sad and stupid.
This guy has always been a scammer. I remember when CSI ripped everyone off in Colorado Springs In 2010. The SJC builder company I know a guy that worked and knew the guy. He said it stood for serving Jesus Christ and then ripped everyone off with that name as well. And now looks like he’s at it again.
Will Glenn Refund any deposits? Comment what you think about this character!
Poor excuse for a person. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Garbage!
I think the best thing we can do as a professional roofing contractor is always be honest with our futures customers . Install the same materials that you offer in the selling process , and don’t ask for any money before install.
Yap you do that but some costomer don’t like paying what you u do then ?
Always collect a deposit before doing work. Just cause 1 clown scammed homeowners doesn't mean every contractor needs to do free work

This is why some places have laws against solicitors. In Eagle Idaho you have to have a solicitor license just to knock on doors.
And I don’t think it’s a bad idea!!!
How the frig do you just waste or lose $6 million dollars
Tried to scale too big too quickly, all the new jobs deposits were going towards older customers constructions. The typical debt cycle, it can happen to anyone in this industry if they don't know their numbers
He have done it under 5 companies!!! Working for two at this time of investigation! Just a pattern of scamming people here, not growing problems!
I swear I head a “door to door sales bitch”.

If this guy was legitimate and not a thief he would have had an excellent business by now
When it comes to ROOFS do not PAY ahead time once all the work is done and that you have inspected it then cut them a check.
Now home owners will trust the insurance company more than contractors.
Is CMR CONSTRUCTION AND ROOFING SOLVENT OR INSOLVENT??
$9,000 yeah I'll be there in 4-6 weeks WHAT!?!
Dang I live here close to Springfield lol
Maybe I am paranoid, but this sounds like money laundering gone wrong lol.
Treat people right. This isn't right. I'm sorry 😞.
The guy is a narcissist.. hell no he is not going to pay any money back. He should be in jail.. We don't ask for money upfront, I just ask for money when materials show up.
6 million 👀..something went wrong!
You think? 😂😂😂
Sickening !!

You are right about that! Very sad story!!!
Can you imagine with his salesman abilities if he was just a straight up guy??!!!! He'd be Ritch!!! But I guess hit and run is more exciting for this individual. Sad and stupid.
6 million and counting!!! Wow
He is just getting started lol
He is crazy bold. Gtfoh oh no smh

Don’t you wish it would be nice if someone in the industry would expose him back then?
I’m so proud of Dmitry Lipinskiy serving in Ukraine.
