what kind of contractor do i need to repair roof, siding and structure of 100 year old garage after tree fell?

Question answered by

Probably one that specializes in dealing with disaster restoration (insurance repair). Look under Fire & Water Damage in your area. It's better to get a specialist to deal with the insurance company for you, you'll get a better policy benefit (more money!) and the work will be done better (typically). Restoring a home from this type of loss is much different than new construction, or even remodeling. I'm assuming that there is insurance involved. If there's not, try calling your agent to see about filing a claim.

Question answered by Peggy K

Mileage is a little tricky, but it's a legitimate deduction from income on your Schedule C's. You'll most likely have to file 2 Schedule C's because of having 2 contract jobs. For paper delivery, you'll want to look at actual expenses vs. mileage, since gas prices are/have been through the roof. You'll need to know that if in the first year of service for the vehicle, you chose actual expenses, you limit yourself to using actual expenses for as long as you use the vehicle. Also, if you have racks, you can write off the amount of money you've been "ripped off" during the year from people stealing papers out of there. If you have to buy plastic bags to weatherproof your papers, those will count as supplies. Also, if you use envelopes for billing, or whatever you do use for billing, and postage if you buy stamps, also counts as legitimate expenses. As to the roofing business... contract employees, remember to issue 1099 forms to each one who makes over $600 during the year. Materials, such as felt rolls, roofing shingles or rolls, tar and gravel if you do that, cleanup, tacks, hammers, other tools, air guns and compressors (you may want to depreciate some of the more expensive stuff out over 5 to 7 years). Billing supplies, business cards, advertisements, supplies not mentioned above, cell phone calls (but this is sort of tricky and the IRS looks closely at these expenses), postage, bad debts, insurance, bonds, licenses, permits, fees, bookkeeping or attorney fees, credit card fees (for business use only), fees charged by companies to be able to accept credit card payments, bank service charges (business accounts only). Keep accurate records!!! Also, keep your receipts. The IRS doesn't accept cancelled checks as proof of expenses paid. (I don't know why, but that's their ruling.) You probably should have a tax pro do your taxes this year, if it's the first one as a contractor. That way, they'll be able to talk to you about the things you need to do and decide, then next year, you'll be off to a good start and have more of an idea as to what receipts to keep and how to organize it all. Keep time sheets and all records regarding the roofing business for at least 10 years. I know, the IRS says less than that... but if you're ever audited, they can go back at least 10 years. Better to have the stuff than not. The records on the newspaper delivery... should be pretty straightforward, but keep them 10 years, too, since you'll already be keeping the other stuff. Okay, that should get you started. You need to know that contract employees have to pay their own Social Security and Medicare taxes, which are included on the federal tax return. They call it Self-employment tax. You'll see it on there. I always advise my self-employed clients to put back 10% of every dollar they make toward this tax in a personal savings account. It's usually less than this 10%, so you'll have the money to pay these taxes and a little cushion for those things that jump up and bite you in the butt.

All of the previous ideas are good - however, I would add checking contractors out on your state's Registrar of Contractor's web site. I worked for a home builder in Arizona for several years and can tell you it's a really good idea to check them out with your state. You can usually search them by the name of the company's owners, company name or their license number. Any reputable contractor will be happy to provide you with this information. If not, I would move on. Most states require contractors to have a license if they are performing jobs over a certain dollar amount (some as low as just a few hundred dollars) and are required to carry liability and worker's comp coverage. As an added idea, can call your local home builders association for assistance. Check out these web sites for more info. I strongly suggest using qualified, licensed contractors. If you get into a dispute with an unlicensed individual or company, you are on your own! And it is usually true that you get what you pay for, so don't let price alone be a factor in making your decision. And remember, you, as a consumer, have every right to ask for and receive a copy of their contractor's state license info and their insurance certificate. Again, the good guys shouldn't have a problem with this. The upstanding folks in the business are happy to see a consumer doing their homework. The rotten apples in the contractors barrel can make them all look bad. Best of luck on your projects! www.nationalcontractors.com/licensing/wilicense.htm www.contractors-license.org

How am I protected from contractor damage ?

We had septic rebuild. The equipment that they used damaged the driveway and hit on the roof side . We are conducting the investigation , but the septic company say they didn't touch the roof , and as far as driveway , its says in a contract that it could be damaged. We did pay half and now they demanding a second half and charging us interest. Are we protected in any way ?

Independent Contractor or Employee?

My husband was hired as an independent contractor for a general contractor (construction). He has never worked as an independent contractor, but this is how the owner of the business does it. No agreement was signed or set forth. The owner pays my husband $8.00/hr plus a small bonus on each paycheck and works between 45 - 55 hours a week. No taxes are taken out. The whole bouns thing seems fishy too. The owner says that he pays them more than $8 an hour, but starts at $8 as the base pay and then you have to average the bonus with it to see what the hourly is for that week. WHAT? The owner has approximately 4-5 others guys working for him as independent contractors as well. It's like he hires these guys as employees but pays them as independent contractors. I am trying to find information about this type of work relationship to know what my husband's rights are. The owner provides all equipment except for small tools (hammers, etc). The guys are assigned to a job (roofing, siding, etc) and are paid hourly, plus bonus, getting paid every friday by paycheck. No contract agreement was presented. I do not believe this is being done the right way and wonder if someone who knows about this stuff can help explain what my husband should do. Should he create an independent contractor agreement and present it to the owner, or should he ask the owner to do this? Not sure whose responsibility it is. Should he be paid hourly, or by job? Any help will be much appreciated. This is in Ohio by the way.

Your husband's 'employer' is violating Federal tax law and code. Your choice what to do, but I'd report him to the IRS for 'further review'.

Any contractors out there? How do you usually ask for payment?

I need some roofing, siding and drywall done on my home. I wanted to know, do contractors collect money at the end, or upfront of a job. Thanks, I'm a new homeowner.

Each one of those jobs require a free estimate in writing. Get more than one for each. Then you can decide how much you are willing to pay to get the job done. Check out the contractors. Ask them if they have a contractors license number. Check with the better business office to see if any complaints have been filed. Ask them if there is any job you can look at that they have done, possible references. Don't be shy. Know how much a job is worth!! You can go to the Realtor who sold you the home, if you like them, and ask if they have anyone they use to do jobs. Sometimes you can get a good deal that way. They have people that they use. Make sure that you get the roof heat sealed. If you have mold make sure it is all removed and washed down with bleach. No trace left before you close it up! Dry everything. Use masks. You ALWAYS pay at the end of the job!! After the job is completed. I've never paid up front any amount of money to get a job done. I have had my home re piped at a cost of $3,000. I have had a new roof put on which I got a great deal through my Realitor, paid $3,600. Had a new forced heater installed for $2,200. And a new A/C for $1,100. The jobs were completed and then I paid. If they can not afford their supplies then you don't want them working on your house. Means they arn't too successful at what they do. Make sure you have home owners insurance so no one can sue you if they get hurt on your property but also make sure that anyone you hire has insurance on themselves. You want a professional to do this work. Someone who has a crew who can come in and strip the roof and check the wood and decide if it needs to be replaced and then another crew will come in and put the roof on. Ask if they are going to pick up the old roofing. You don't want them to leave a mess. They'll need truck and heat sealing equipment.
