A Day in the Life of Western New York’s Most Persistent Roof Inspectors
Let’s face it: while Scarpone and Sons Inc. are the professionals when it comes to residential roofing in Western New York, there’s another group of self-appointed “experts” who think they know better – the local squirrel population.
These bushy-tailed building inspectors have been conducting their own unauthorized winter assessments across Cheektowaga, Buffalo, and surrounding areas for generations. They’re particularly fond of performing their “quality control checks” right after a new roof installation, usually leaving their professional opinions in the form of acorn collections and suspicious scratching sounds.
Speaking of professional opinions, here’s what these furry contractors typically recommend:
1. More holes (They’re big fans of ventilation)
2. Expanded attic storage (For their extensive nut collections)
3. Freestyle architectural modifications (Usually without permits)
While we at Scarpone and Sons Inc. appreciate their enthusiasm, we respectfully disagree with their approach to roof remodeling. Our human experts prefer methods that don’t involve turning your attic into a rodent resort.
In Amherst, one particularly ambitious squirrel recently attempted to file a complaint with the local building department after we completed a perfect roof installation. His main grievance? The new shingles were “too difficult to chew through.” We consider that a five-star review!
Our Lancaster customers often share tales of these unofficial inspectors performing their duties, especially during fall when they’re most active. One homeowner reported watching a squirrel spending three hours judging the symmetry of their newly installed ridge vent, only to leave in disgust when it couldn’t find a single flaw.
In Clarence and Depew, we’ve noticed these furry critics tend to hold their “meetings” right above bedroom windows at 6 AM. Their apparent goal? Ensuring homeowners are fully aware of their presence and their detailed evaluation of our craftsmanship.
But here’s the real truth: when Scarpone and Sons installs your new roof, even these persistent critics eventually give up and move on to easier targets. Our quality workmanship and superior materials prove too challenging for their “alternative construction methods.”
So, if you’re tired of your current squad of squirrel supervisors and ready for real roofing professionals, give us a call. We promise our work will pass even the most stringent squirrel inspection – by failing to meet their requirements for easy entry!
