Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, back at it. We go at home with
Gary Sullivan, and you know, one of the big parts
or extensions of our home is certainly the exterior of
the landscaping, the yard, the trees, maybe even the vegetable
garden out back. And each week Ron Wilson steps in
to help us out with that. Mister Wilson, how are you, werny.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Mister Shelmany, I gotta I'm gonna follow up on the
roof quote here. Yeah, all right, So if I get
five different estimates or ten or whatever it may be,
should I do my homework before I even get the estimates,
because don't I want to determine which roof that I
want to have done?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, well that would be the idea, Ron, But I
guess a lot of people don't do that, don't want
to do that. And this is where problems come in.
Is if you don't do any you know, little reconnaissance yourself,
a little studying up on it, and then you get
one estimate, you really don't know what your options.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Are, so that the multiple estimates become my homework.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, exactly what I tell people a lot to if
you really don't understand it, get three estimates and just
start comparing them and ask questions, why are you why
are you putting flashing on the roof, and why sir
are you not doing flashing? And the guy you know
that isn't doing so you don't need it. And the
(01:19):
guy that you're asking about flashing might say, oh, well
the person that wasn't going to put the flashing did
they tell you there's some holes into flashing. I mean
you kind of learn by comparing, and I think that's
a really smart thing to do. You know, why are
your shingles costing this? And this shingles costs in that?
And they go, you know, well, there's wind ratings, there's warranties,
(01:40):
there's it's just an opportunity to learn about what you're buying.
As I just kind of compared it to the sticker
on buying a car, and they're kind of similar. You know,
you got different bells and whistles on different cars, and
maybe that's needed, maybe it's not, or whatever. You can
see where the cost is actually you know, factored in.
(02:03):
I always laugh because I think sometimes that proprietary is
always kind of a little scary work, right, Yeah, well
it's their proprietary system. Well, what's that mean? You know, well,
we got the best shingles. Well, what's that mean?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
So if I narrow it down to one shingle that
I think is the best for our house? Do I
didn't go back and get five more estimates from companies
that offer that shingle.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Well, doesn't want to. I mean, if you want to,
I wouldn't say that'd be necessary. I would pick three,
three good roofers. And it's exactly what I did when
I had my roof put on probably four years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I had, by the way, your house looked pretty funny
without the roof.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
For all these years, I had three that I, you know,
wanted to do business with. And it was interesting because
one person I was actually out in California when they
came for the estimate, and they never got on the roof,
which I thought, that's weird.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Did you drone thing?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah? Yeah, And some of that's okay, right, But you
know what, if you're on the roof, you can see
if there's any soft spots on there. You can get
a closer examination of the flashing. So, you know, I
just and it was interesting the difference in the They
were all within probably three or four thousand dollars, but
the way they did things was just a little different.
(03:21):
He gave me an opportunity to ask questions.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That's the key, got it. And you know the same
thing applies with landscaping and plants. And I'm being and
I was leaning in. You know, sometimes the thing about
the landscaping if you don't want a landscape plan is
it's hard to compare apples to apples because each designer
is going to have something a little bit different. So
you have to kind of find, you know, the design
that you like. Sure, and you know a lot of
(03:46):
times people call around about plant prices and that's kind
of hard because you know, at three foot whatever you know,
it might be in a smaller pod might be the quality.
You know, it's hard to do apples to apples when
it comes to that. But again, you know, getting a
couple of people, that's where I always think Home the
garden shows you and I always enjoy those, right because
a lot of times that's a great place for you
to go and just to talk to somebody one on one.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, and yeah, doing it in april's not the time
to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No, not now. But well, I'm just saying that's good
if you know ahead.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Of time, right, right, Well, things are probably starting to
slow down a little bit in garden centers now. So
if you want to do something in the fall, which
is a great time to work not only on your
home but also on the landscaping of your home, Yeah,
we'll start preparing now.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, the calls for landscape designers right now. As we
get into the July and August, folks on vacation or
whatever really do start to cut back, right, So now's
an excellent opportunity to get your name back in the
pot again and get them out to take a look
at it, get the design and what you want to
do ready so that when the weather becomes more conducive
in September, issh, October, November. Obviously it's a very long
(04:53):
planting season for the fall, right, much longer than the spring.
You're in and you're ready to go, so you're at
the top. Listen, you can enjoy that stuff earlier.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, with the weather we've had, I heard you and
Joe Bogg's talking about, you know, the heat, humidity and
then disease, and it's kind of interesting. Everything was green,
everything was perfect in my lawn until this week. I
could start seeing I think it's probably red thread or
(05:21):
round patch. Yeah, and so is did that kind of
explode this week? Well we had the heat and the rain.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, that all of a sudden, you're starting to see
you know, leaf diseases on tomatoes and the lawn disease
is now starting to show up that weren't there earlier,
That may have cropt in earlier, but now all of a sudden,
we're starting to see those. If you watch even some
of the turf updates we do. Ohio State does one
that you can watch video wise that professionals watch, and
golf keepers watch your golf you know, of course at
the superintendents because they tell you when it's you know,
(05:52):
weather changing next week, watch for this particular disease to
really start to ramp up. And yeah, all of a sudden,
just as past ten days or so, things started to change. Yeah,
it's like, better start watching for this, betters are watching
for that. You better start applying for this, all right.
So yeah, you know, and it's a tough time. I've
always said between June and into early July, so many
things happening with plants suggesting to the summer season. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, and Yeah, missus Sullivan noticed the disease, and she is,
can you take care of that? I go? It's expensive
take care of disease?
