Pretty Funny Contractors Mishap!

Thought I would share this email I got today:

These contractors are installing the steel pillars in concrete to stop vehicles from parking on the pavement outside a Sports Bar downtown.  They are now in the process of cleaning up at the end of the day anxious to go home.  How long do you think it’ll be before they realize where they parked their truck?

Hope you enjoyed the laugh! Have a wonderful day and know that Roofmax will never do something like that. We’re pretty smart over here…we think…;)

A Great Refrence From One of Our Customers

We got this letter from one of our customers today and it was really nice. So I thought I would share it with you.

“To Whom It May Concern:

We recently had a new roof put in our house by Roofmax. They were very prompt in coming out to give a quote and explain to us how the roof would be installed and the warranties that they can offer. They completed our roof in two days and the gutters in a matter of hours. Although we did run into some issues with the contract and some major issues as the roof was being installed, they stood behind their work and fixed everything in the end. We were very happy that a manager took the time to come to our house and address things with us in person and not just on the phone. We love our new roof and gutters. We know and trust that Roofmax will stand behind their work if any problems should arise and I would recommend them to neighbors and friends who are looking to have a new roof installed.

Sincerely,

Cindy & Cole James

It’s a new year and a new decade! Our New Year’s Resolution…

Can you believe it is 2010?! I Remember waiting anxiously as a 13-year-old girl for the lights to blow out and the world to come to a halt when 2000 came. Funny how I braced myself for the Y2K hype and nothing happened (and magnetized by the 13 year olds that didn’t have a clue)! But now, 10 years later, it continues to amaze me how times change.

One of the biggest changes has been the rise of social marketing. Facebook, Twitter, Digg, LinkedIn, Delicious and blogs are just a few of the innumerable social marketing sites on the web today. There are so many ways to communicate on the web and so many people use it as a source of expression. For a time, this blog was simply used to post news and articles that we thought would be of interest and benefit to our customers. We will still use it for that. However, we are also hoping to spend more time actively contributing to the conversation. It’s our New Year’s Resolution!

So we ask, what are you talking about? What are your roofing and solar questions and needs? What are your roof repair needs? We have many skilled roofing and solar estimators in the office that can help answer your questions and concerns. Please also visit our website at www.roofmax.net (newly designed, by the way!), our Facebook fan page at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/pages/Concord-CA/Roofmax/195005836216?ref=ts, and our Twitter page at http://twitter.com/Roofmax. We know you are out there! We are excited to hear from you and start the conversation!

Again, wishing you the very happiest New Year,

ENERGY: So you want to install rooftop solar? A handy guide

This is a great resource if you are considering solar panels on your roof. The beginning is quoted. Follow the link to read the rest of the article.

“

Residential solar power is most definitely moving out of the fringes. Maybe it’s not all the way to popularity yet, but now that even Lowe’s and Home Depot are selling solar panels, the industry can safely be said to be dipping a few toes into the mainstream.

Between July 1 and the end of November, San Diego County alone had issued 469 permits for rooftop solar, already more than the 432 it issued in the entire 12 months preceding.

For anyone watching a smug neighbor gloat over low electric bills, or who’s watched one too many showings of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth,” here’s a guide for how to decide if the sun has finally risen on your solar panel ambitions: “

Roofing Companies: 4 Roofing Projects to Leave to the Pros

With so many building and home repair companies out there it’s hard to know who does what. Read on to find out what roofing companies do and what they can do for you.

Roofing Companies Install New Roofs

From residential roofing to commercial projects, roofing companies install new roofs. When there is new construction or a remodel, the roofing company will come in and install the entire roof. This can include everything from installing the trusses to framing the roof to laying the tar paper and installing the shingles. Though not many individuals have the need for complete roof installation, roofing companies that have the experience and knowledge to do so may be ones to look at when the time comes to research roofing companies for your own use.

Roofing Companies Repair Roofs

Roof repair is something all roofing companies do. Roof material will sometimes become worn or weathered, including warping, leaking, and missing shingles, and will require repair. Some contractors don’t like to do repairs. Many think that there is often the chance for continued decay or failure in a roof that requires repair in one place. For this reason some roofing companies may recommend replacement over repair. However, many residential roofing customers prefer repair over replacement for reasons of cost and expense. Good roofing companies can evaluate a roof to determine the damage and if repair or replacement is the best strategy.

Roofing Companies Replace Roofs

Roof replacement is the primary job of roofing companies. They spend most of their time replacing roof material on mainly residential roofing. They have many roof material options including a variety of shingles, tiles such as slate or ceramic, and even metal roofing. Because a roof is basically the umbrella that protects a home it is one of the most important parts of a house. Due to natural occurrences, such as hail, wind, and snow, and the debris that can pile up as a result of any of those, roof replacement is a common occurrence. Roofing companies also do roof replacement due to aging and wear and tear on average residential roofs. Damage from nature and age can cause leaks, and leaks can cause extensive interior damage and roof replacement is key to preventing them. Having a good and reliable roofing company evaluate your roof by doing a visual examination can help you decide if roof replacement is necessary in your situation.

Roofing Companies Can Install Solar Panels

Something relatively new to roofing companies is solar panel installation. Due to the recent concern for the environmental impact of conventional heating and energy sources, many people are turning to solar power for their homes. Roofing companies can install solar roof panels to residential roofing projects that can help generate enough energy to power an entire home. Though this type of project used to be done primarily by specialists, many roofing companies are now able to include solar panel installation into a residential roofing project plan.
