Roofing Question

Huh? What I prefer is a company that has enough operating capital to be
able to swing it so that in the three days from the time they start the job
until they end it, they don't go out of business because they can't afford
to buy supplies enough for the job.

There's a difference between operating capital and a deposit. Please learn
the difference.

If I've read it once, I've read it a million times. If the local suppliers
don't trust the person enough to extend credit, there is probably a
reason. I have never had to front anyone money for supplies.

However, perhaps that is normal elsewhere.

Must be normal where kjpro is from, as he finds deposits a vital part of
business. Deposits are only usual and customary for custom work and special
order goods.

I agree completely, I wouldn't hesitate to put up, essentially,
earnest money for something like that. I'm strictly talking about
standard construction materials.
