In most areas the best have so much work they pass off to HD & LOW + etc. The fly bys are best to stay far away from! There is one roofer in my area that only does it as a side job. He has much more work than he will take-- besides,, once deer season starts he is finished,, one crew & 1 job at a time. Inexpensive too. The only one close in quality is so high few but commercial accts can afford them. I doubt Lee had a problem with the contractor-- more HD sales clerk & supplier. HD is building smaller stores in some areas. In the South they are planning Lawn, Garden, & Landscape specialty stores too. I hold a little but sold my trading shares Fri @ the close. I was up 20.4% in 12 days (same with IBM up 25.6% in the same time. Until the mkts stabilize it is a good by on the dips to hold,, but much better as a trader.
