Stylish Lafayette Roofing Can Restore the Look of Old Homes

An article on the Press-Enterprise website dated August 23, 2013 discusses the developments in Riverside's distinctive Twogood Lane and its immediate neighbors. The region is perhaps best known for its eclectic range of turn-of-the-century homes that have been renovated to fit modern living standards. The article notes that another classic home has been installed next to the area's existing houses, adding to its traditional theme. There's certainly charm in buying a house that bears vintage styling and architecture; there are a lot of such dwellings lying around in California, in fact. Although they look gorgeous and all, most will need some serious renovations in order to properly stand up to the elements, particularly the roofing. The owners of such homes will need to invest in modern Lafayette roofing in order to secure the buildings from harm.

A Mistake That Experts in Roofing in Pleasanton, CA and Elsewhere Should Never Commit

They say that the best things in life are free, but there are exceptions even to such a cliche. One would think that Linda Cox of Calgary is one lucky woman after a roofing company showed up without being asked to, until the roofer begins to tear her brand-new roof apart, shingle by shingle. What must be a dream for some quickly turned into Cox's nightmare after she was left wondering who will pay for the damages to her roof. Horrified, Cox confronted the roofer to understand his motives and had the displeasure of getting cursed at by the man's boss over the phone, according to a report by Colleen Schmidt of CTV Calgary. This prompted Cox to seek help from local authorities, who she hoped would help her get to the root of the problem. Clearly, this is an incident involving unprofessional roofers, people who should not practice roofing in Pleasanton, CA and elsewhere.

You’ve Got the Power with Solar Roofing in Walnut Creek, CA

Even the seats of power in the world can help in the demand for sustainable energy. Amiram Barkat of the Globes business website reported that plans to install solar roofing systems atop Israel’s Parliament, the Knesset, are in progress for a full activation in 2014. The national utility provider recently allowed in-house generation of electricity that will help trim the power bill. Israel’s Mediterranean climate is also the same halfway ‘round the world in Walnut Creek, CA. The city’s location astride the San Ramon and Ygnacio Valleys makes for high pressure, and temperatures during the summer months are in the early 30s; a few local business establishments service both Central Costa County and the Bay Area. When your local government office or business facility wants to emulate the Knesset and yes, the White House too, in setting up a solar roof, feel free to consult experts at roofing in Walnut Creek, CA like RoofMax.

Remaking History through Roofing from Orinda, CA Contractors

A pre-Revolutionary War house in York County, PA, will soon have a new luster. Mike Argento of the York Daily Record reported that the Willis house in nearby Manchester Township is now undergoing a reroofing job at the hands of a roofing contractor in Lancaster County. Homeowner Dean Packer said the project has cost him at least $15,000, but it was worth the price because the shingles are the same as the original ones. Residents of Orinda, CA may see the value in reroofing a house that has stood through much of the nation’s history and before it. The city itself has a number of historic houses, with the de Laveaga Estate, the Garbarino family’s Casa Azul off Miner Road, and the Old Yellow House the most prominent examples. The combined age of these three attractions may not exactly hold up to that of the Willis House, but experts at roofing in Orinda, CA like RoofMax are more than capable of doing a reroofing on a historic house if the need arises.

Cloudy Deutschland on How Solar Roofs Can Work Even in Overcast Skies

Do solar panels work even when there's no direct sunlight? Try asking Germany, which produces 6.5 times more solar energy than the U.S., despite spending most of its year in overcast (a little over two months of sunlight a year). Now, Andrew Curry of Slate Magazine reports that Germany produces enough renewable energy to sustain 22 percent of its energy needs, a quarter of which is solar power. The further solar power technology advances, the more affordable solar panels get. So why is Germany, a really cloudy country, the current world leader in solar energy? If you'll look at Germany in solar irradiance maps, you can see that much of the country doesn't get as much sunlight as the entire United States. Apparently, most people think that solar panels won't work under cloudy weather since the clouds are blocking precious sunlight. As it turns out, it's one of the biggest myths surrounding solar roofing in Danville, CA and the rest of the world.

Concord, CA Roofing Contractors Advise Tree Maintenance to Reduce After-Storm Expenses

When Eastlake, OH was hit by a storm a few months ago, it left a trail of fallen trees and tangled lines in its wake. As much as they're a property bonus, trees also pose a threat to the property itself, not to mention the roof. Most insurance policies, home or car, cover storm damage (part of the “Acts of God” clause in traditional insurance). However, as WKYC field reporter Jennifer Lindgren reports, not all of the storm-related wrecks are covered. Traditionally, insurance policies don't cover damage as a result of Acts of God or events that can't be controlled like storms (ironically, it also covers war damage). However, some Acts of God are being covered by current insurance plans in the market, making it easier for policyholders. As insurance is a big help in shouldering the cost of repairs, Concord, CA roofing companies like RoofMax often suggest getting insurance. Then again, where do fallen trees fall under?
