The cord around for example, instead of a blunt cut they gave it a finished angle trim. A company that does that, well you should see the rest of his quality work!

Family-Owned and Operated Roofing Company with 25+ Years of Experience. A trusted team that has been building the Grand Strand since 2000.
"Citadel roofing hired myself, as a retail sales representative with leads provided by the company. Mind you, I was currently living in Pensacola Florida, when I was offered the position with Citadel roofing out of Myrtle Beach,Sc. I relocated to the Myrtle Beach area out of my pocket, to be in proximity of the market region to promote Citadel roofing. Once I arrived to South Carolina, the owner of Citadel (Nick) and myself, set up an initial sales meeting to go over the logistics of my position in more detail. Where he offered myself some options as far as compensation and my involvement with the company. Nick offered a salary plus small commission pay schedule, or a commission only, and finally the different commission structures depending on whether the initial lead was generated from the company or from myself. He explained how Citadel roofing has been a strictly retail sales company, and mentioned that Citadel deserves a piece of the pie in the insurance claims world. He asked what knowledge I have with filing claims and the onboarding process. Which I more than confidently explained the claims process in detail, so he can get a feel for the knowledge that I was sharing with Nick. I agreed to help promote the insurance sales side of Citadel roofing, but I never agreed to strictly perform insurance claim projects specifically. I relocated to Myrtle Beach to pursue a career with Citadel roofing five weeks ago. Nick has not sent me on one retail lead as of yet, nor has Nick offered to compensate me for my time reaching out to third party public adjusters, on behalf of Citadel roofing's legal representation. The time I have spent with the owner of Citadel roofing (Nick Sr.) implementing and strategically setting in place the legalities and documentations to successfully adhere to the insurance claim process. Neither was I reimbursed for my travel expenses, and relocation costs associated with accepting this position, due to Citadel roofing's need to aquire more salesman to handle the incoming abundance of leads, as I was informed. Now, after five weeks of no income, and out of pocket expenses due to travel and relocation costs, the owner of Citadel roofing (Nick Sr) informs myself that my services are no longer needed here at Citadel! Okay, fair enough in a manipulative world... But how about compensating myself for the 5 weeks of services that your company, Citadel roofing, has already received? I've worked for contractors from Vermont to Texas, and I can say there is a lot of shady businessmen out there. But to manipulate and deceive someone into relocating and driving over 600 miles, to personally deliver insurance claim knowledge for a company (Citadel roofing) who has never successfully submitted a damage report, let alone the skills and know how to identifying proper storm damage that's claim worthy. I've spent my own time and money to come here and train the owners of a roofing company(Citadel roofing) for 5 weeks, on the claims process. While strategically setting in place the foundation to a successful claims practice."

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
The average cost to remodel a garage is around $18,000, ranging from $1,500 to $50,000, depending on size, materials, location, and other factors like plumbing and electrical. Garage remodels that include changing the roof and walls add significant expenses to the project. Plus, you can expect to pay about $1,400 for the building conversion permits. For a simple remodel, like painting interior walls and recoating the garage floor, it will cost about $2 to $5 per square foot.
