WOW, 6 grand. They’re not only top of the line, they must be outer space vacuum tight doors. Since your sister will be selling in a few years that’s even more reason not to go the 6 grand route.
I’d get quotes for lesser so called quality doors but not junk. My experience says both decent quality doors should not cost a dime more than $700 without installation. Around here you can get a single exterior door installed for around $150.

However, you left out the major consideration when choosing a roofer. That is, are the nails hand hammered or pneumatic gun driven? Something tells me the guys that are using 6 nails per shingle ain’t hand hammering them.

Our roof is still holding up well......hand hammered is the way to go!2017 MB E400 , 2015 MB GLK350, 2014 MB C250

We had our roof replaced last year and the same people are coming this weekend to replace the gutters. It's pricy due to the fact that they built the houses in this sub division with Omni gutters which means a complete redo of the facets and everything.

Using 6 nails vs. 4 provides 50% more hold down strength. It also adds 50% more to the nail cost. Let’s ignore the additional installation time since they’re not hand hammering them but it is more wear on the pneumatic nailer. Now, is this needed? Probably not unless you’re in a high wind area most of the time. But it sounds good.

Most stairs are factory built today and the sides of the treads are fit into dado joints on each stinger and tightened in the stringer with wedges/shims and glue. Then a few pneumatic driven nails hold everything in place until the glue dries. Done properly they almost never come lose or squeak.

Not sure what is important to buyers as far as things that need fixing. Things we might think are important may not be.
We like this house, inside and out, but there are also things we don't like or are missing.
Had water in the basement at some point, but may be fixed.
There is some issue with the chimney.
Mechanicals are old.
May be an issue with the roof down by the gutters, but I'm not sure.
No patio area.
We also spec'ed out a new build, but I'm not happy with the lots.

but don't spend a bunch remodeling the kitchen, or replacing all the mechanicals if they are just old but still work. Not likely to get ROI on that. But do anything cheap especially if you can DIY it. and declutter (my wife did not like hearing that message from the agent!) Let the buyer do it their way.
pro tip: if someone in the house is attached to their "stuff", don't call it decluttering. Just say you need to pre-pack! and do that if you are planning to take with you (of course, the more you can get rid of before you go the better, and just get rid of it before listing).

I would question the fact that 6 nails vs 4 provides 50% more hold down strength. I would think that with something the size of a roof shingle that at 4 you are at the point of diminishing returns, each additional nail adds less additional hold down strength than the previous one. I would think that with 6 you have nails that are duplicating the effort of other nails.

And this is why scammers keep sending these. Because someone buys into it.
It’s simple math 6 nails provide more hold down strength compared to 4. If you put nails clear across the shingle butting their heads together you would have the most hold down strength possible for that shingle but it is obviously not needed and this would be a case for diminishing returns. 6 nails vs. 4 is probably overkill too but it is still stronger than 4.

How do you hold a straight face when hearing that? Are there law courses to prepare a judge for this?

I'm not saying that 6 nails isn't stronger than 4, I'm saying that it's likely not 50% stronger.
2011 Hyundai Sonata, 2014 BMW 428i convertible, 2015 Honda CTX700D
All things being equal like the size and strength of the nails, the strength of the shingle at the nailing point, the uniform spacing of the nails, the strength of the roofing material at all of the nailing points, the same technique used to nail the shingle at the additional nailing points, etc. math says that it is but you’re entitled to think differently.

I did track it and it seems a Nigerian Prince wants to send me 5 gold bars.
I posted it so everyone could see this new scam, and to possibly see if someone had any more observations about what is wrong with it!
btw, I didn't track it just in case they can get some information like my email address from me emailing them.

You don’t email anybody. Copy the number and paste it into UPS tracking on UPS.com. Hint: number is not valid.
Ok, here is a general tip: Never click a link in an email that is even remotely suspicious. Go to the actual website using your browser. For example: You get an email from amazon asking you to reset your password. Delete email. Then open browser, go to amazon.com and log into your account that way and see if you got a message from them.

Twice I received emails containing the company logo inviting me to enter some sort of contest after completing a survey. Loblaws sends out legit surveys quite often but this one looked nothing like the ones in the past, and the email domain it came from wasn't any of theirs either. There was enough sloppiness in the composition of the message to make me conclude it was bogus, and after looking at the headers of the message in detail it became somewhat obvious that this was some sort of nefarious thing. But it was done well enough that I suppose someone not quite so suspicious might have been taken in. When a second one came a few days later the various domains in the header were all different from the first one but the rest of it was very similar, confirming my suspicions that they were trying to access my points. It's a jungle out there.

It is unfortunate that some
peoplecreatures find this is an OK way to try and make a living. The UPS scam was fairly easy to spot, but I would guess some scammers will get better and better at it........we have to stay alert. It sounds like the Shoppers one was a little more sophisticated....can't let your guard down.2017 MB E400 , 2015 MB GLK350, 2014 MB C250
Install the recommended number of nails per shingle. For Duration® Series shingles, Owens Corning recommends using either a 4- or 6-nail fastening pattern depending on the roof’s slope and building code requirements. In most cases, 4 nails are adequate.

BTW, we have been approached by a neighbor who wants to buy our condo. We have no idea as to price as there are so few comparison units. Our condo is a townhouse style, one of only two units in a 20 unit building. It looks less and less that we will re-occupy the unit and current asking rent is about half market rent. Personally, I'd like hold unto it for a while but my daughters want a quick private sale.

I haven't seen one yet. I pay the provider $60/an for their service. It's done by a local Dayton Metro provider of services to businesses.

Several years ago we paid $5982 for two exterior doors(one with a storm door). We have no plans for selling the house so we decided to go with top of the line doors. We obtained three quotes and all three were relatively close. We went with the company that appeared to be the most professional and we were very happy with the results.

When I was a judge I had a hard time keeping a straight face more than once. A couple of prosecutors would usually try and crack me up. As I’ve said before, the court I presided over for 22 years was just about the same as _Night Court _- which itself was the most accurate depiction of a court of limited jurisdiction you will ever find.
Now that I’m a prosecutor I have a bit more leeway. The judge I practice in front of tolerates my sense of humor because I don’t waste his time. For example, when my predecessor had the revocation docket it would often last for 4-5 hours. I usually don’t take more than 2 hours because I conference the cases I can settle before the docket starts.

My NCM referred to me as the “anti-salesman” because of my low key approach. Several people who were also shopping other brands made a point of telling me that they decided to buy from our dealership because I wasn’t pushing to close the deal and I didn’t badmouth the other brands.

And, they give a 5% discount for donating $25+ to the Pan Mass Challenge (Dana Farber Cancer), which I more than do annually as a college bud is a dedicate rider on the cause. AAA discount, too.
