When the Santa Ana winds blow through the San Gabriel Valley, you can see leaves, limbs and roofing shingles scattered down the streets and in your yard. It’s understandable that you could think about how well your roof will do when those windy gusts blast through. Guess what? A roof that’s installed properly will…
DetailsHey everyone! Been a while! Like… two years a while… There, sadly, is not much to say in roofing. It’s a pretty straightforward thing. But, thankfully, now there IS something to talk about! It’s called Title 24, or “The California Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards” or TCT24EES for short! EDIT – Nevermind that last…
DetailsGreetings, oh so few of you! Been a while, as usual. Not much interesting or ground breaking stuff going on really, other than the usual fixing/replacing of roofs and other things related to roofs.

Tons of people calling us because their roof is leaking… rain. Yeah, we’re busy. And no, we can’t come out RIGHT NOW. Sorry… really. If you (probably don’t)…

We get quite a few calls for these because we give free estimates, which people take to mean that we also do free inspections as well, which we don’t, and here’s…

It’s been odd here, what with summer and people saying “Eh, I’ll do it later” with their roofs. Funny story, kind of. Interesting at least: Fourth of July rolled around (yes, two months ago… 174…

Mold is something we get to deal with a lot here in roofing. We have been called more lately with people who have had this issue due to, well, the recent rains. In order for mold to grow it needs darkness, moisture, and something to consume, like wood, cloth, drywall, carpet, hopes and dreams, etc.…
DetailsAnyone here watch Futurama? “Great news everyone!” Rain is coming! Good thing, too. I was getting blisters on my feet from doing rain dances in my backyard every day at sunrise. It’s a great workout and it kept my cats entertained, but I felt like I had to do it barefoot, and man, I can…
DetailsI noticed that this blog is actually getting views now, and I’ll be honest, that made me a tad nervous. But hey, there’s always that whole Delete Everything And Pretend It Didn’t Happen option. Furthermore, I’ll simply post one of my favorite words here and move on: Fortitude: mental and emotional strength in facing difficulty,…
