Total Homes Roofing had been on several of the same job sites that I had worked on, and I had only heard good things, so when my wife asked for a referral for one of the ladies she works with at her Law firm I gave her the name of Total Home Roofing.

Total Homes Roofing had been on several of the same job sites that I had worked on, and I had only heard good things, so when my wife asked for a referral for one of the ladies she works with at her Law firm I gave her the name of Total Home Roofing. I was a little nervous because if it didnt go well I would have heard about it for a very long time, and usually when I think about working with a roofing company I get very nervous because of all of the horror stories you hear, but my wife said her co-worker was amazed at how friendly and professional they were and loved the job and working with Jake. My wife and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Brevard area.

I was home when they wrapped up the job and they had 3 guys with the magnet brooms sweeping for nails. They went all the way around the house 10-12 feet looking for nails. It took them over an hour to sweep for nails which was impressive. Overall, I am very pleased with the work performed and highly recommend Total Home. Total Homes team was responsive to phone calls, emails, and text messages. If you are re-roofing I recommend investigating the OC products and the extended warranty they offer. Jeff Driscoll

Kevin quoted the job within a couple of days of us contacting him and started the job the next week. He was able to get us the dimensional shingle we wanted and stayed in touch with us throughout the job. I was surprised to look outside one day and see him up on the roof with the roofers. He is very thorough! Denise M.: Orlando, Florida

During the last rain storm, I experienced a leak from the furnace gas vent above the roof. Since I had used Total Home in the past and was extremely pleased with their work, I didnt hesitate to call them again. They came out and checked out the entire roof and explained where the leak was coming from. They sent out a technician within a couple of days and it was fixed very professionally. When I think of integrity, I think of Total Home. They are outstanding. Jason D.: Orlando, Florida

Tesla (tsla) said Wednesday that it has finished the first installations of its solar roofs, less than a week after the company's mass-market Model 3 cars started rolling off the production line.
Announced in its second-quarter earnings report, Bloomberg reports that these early adopters of the solar roofs are all Tesla employeesjust like the first Model 3 customers last week. Tesla said that this approach allows the company to smooth the sales and installation process ahead of a wider release to the public.
"I have them on my house, [Chief Technology Officer] J.B. [Straubel] has them on his house," CEO Elon Musk said, according to Bloomberg. "This is version one. I think this roof is going to look really knock-out as we just keep iterating."
The tiles are made to resemble regular high-end roofing material, while sunlight can pass through them onto solar cells thereby producing energy.
First unveiled last October ahead of the automaker's acquisition of solar power equipment maker SolarCity, Musk later said that the solar roof will cost less than conventional rooftops. Tesla has opened online orders since May, allowing prospective buyers to estimate the cost of installing a solar roof after putting down a $1,000 deposit.

SIOUX CITY | A severe June 30 hail storm that dinged most of metro Sioux City also heated up certain sectors of the local economy and drew the interest of numerous outside contractors.
Phones rang off the hook at area auto body shops, insurance agencies, roofing companies and other auxiliary businesses that benefit from the storm's aftermath.
There were reports of golf ball size or larger hail in some Sioux City neighborhoods. The storm left behind piles of the frozen rain pellets large enough to resemble a light snowfall in the middle of summer in areas.
Charese Yanney, owner and managing partner of Sioux City-based Guarantee Roofing, Siding and Insulation Co., said the hail storm may have been the most widespread since a June 1978 that pelted nearly the entire metro area with pellets as large as softballs.
The late June 30 storm was nearly as widespread, sparing only portions of the northside and Riverside neighborhoods, she said. It came on the heels of earlier hail storms this summer that caused widespread damage in cities to the north such as Hinton, Iowa, Akron, Iowa and Elk Point, South Dakota.
In the aftermath, Guarantee Roofing and other roofing crews with more work than they can handle in the near future.
"I'm guessing we'll be busy for a couple years," Yanney said Friday. "You're trying to serve a lot of people, but it's hard because you just can't get to everybody at the same time."
Rick Quintana, general manager of ABRA Auto Body & Glass in Sioux City, said he cant recall seeing such an influx of customers after a storm and hes been involved in the business since the late 90s.
Its been kind of nuts around here lately, he said. Were a pretty high volume production shop probably, if not the biggest, one of the biggest in the area and we stay steady all the time.
Weve got a lot of great relationships with our insurance partners, but when something like this happens it completely turns your whole company upside down with the volume of work that comes in from it.
Roughly, Quintana thinks the hail storm has quadrupled his business and he expects to see upwards of 1,000 vehicles before its all said and done.
Local insurance firms also have been overwhelmed by a ton of post-storm calls from clients.
Kendra Hoffman and Brock DeVries are insurance agents with the Farm Bureau Financial Services office in Morningside.
DeVries said theyve been filing a lot of residential and vehicular claims.
"The low number is 150, said DeVries when asked how many claims he thinks he has written since the storm occurred. Thats a low number though. I didnt keep track of them its tough to keep track.
Hoffman noted they still have clients who are still waiting on an adjuster to stop and assess damages.
She knows the process can be frustrating for those on the waiting list, but she and DeVries said the fallout from this storm is not typical.
We appreciate the patience of the members and the clients while we work through this, she said. We are here for you, we will get through this, well return your calls its just been a lot of extra work.
Because of the widespread damage in the region, Yanney noted that many insurers are giving policy holders up to two years to file claims, far longer than under normal conditions.
Yanney, whose family business was founded by her grandfather in 1926, said most of the roofs she and her crews have examined will be fine until they can be replaced, even if it takes two years.
"It's not like they're going to leak tomorrow or the next year or the following year," she said. "
John Cain is the owner of JC Roofing & Insulating, a family-owned South Sioux City-based commercial and residential roofing company thats served the area for a little more than three decades.
Like other local businesses, Cain has been busier than normal since June 30.
Were swamped; its crazy, he said. Weve got appointments out for a couple months and were probably two weeks down from probably being able to even look at a roof right now, but its great.
Cain said since the storm, his office receives 20-30 calls a day.
I hate to see it happen, but its good for business, he said.
While the storm has provided a boom for local businesses, local roofers like Cain and Yanney are concerned by the amount of fly-by-night companies that have popped up in the area offering cheaper services to impacted homeowners.
Thats just the way it is. People come in here, they tell you they're local and they're going to be gone in a few months, Cain said. Soon as winter gets here they are going to be gone.
Next year, everybody is going to be wondering where the heck they are if they got a problem. They can guarantee you the world, but if they arent here to back it up what the hell are you going to do?
In the industry, these types of roofing contractors are called storm chasers or roofing gypsies because they swarm into an area after a calamity and promise cheaper and faster solutions that may not always be beneficial in the long run for homeowners.
According to Angies List, a popular online contractor referral service, storm chasers often do shoddy work, lack proper licensing and insurance and quickly move on to the next storm afflicted community.
Cain is keenly aware of this practice, but until this recent storm, he hasnt seen it as much in Sioux City.
Weve had storms before and Ive seen storm chasers come into town, but never seen the level that there are this time, he said. I dont know if its just not any work anywhere or what it is, but Ive seen dozens of roofers Ive never heard of in town.
With so many people still waiting on estimates or work to commence on their roof, Cain advises locals to be patient, do their research and look for familiar names when choosing their roofer.
Quintana is staffing his auto body shop and office with about a dozen workers to better accommodate customers. Appointments are filled for the next six months, he said.
Ive been in this business and in Sioux City for many, many years and I dont remember one (storm) in recent history that was even remotely close to this, he said. We kind of yearn for the weather in our business icy roads, hail, wind, tree damage, you know stuff like that.
...I hate to capitalize on somebodys misfortune kind of like going to the doctors office, were here if you need us but, man, this one has just really been incredible as far as the volume and amount of work its creating for not (just) us, but the whole industry in our market.

The state has banned a Lyons man who was operating as a roofing and paving contractor in Reno County from conducting door-to-door sales or engaging in roofing services in Kansas.
Reno County District Judge Tim Chambers also ordered Anthony Joe Jeffery, alias Tony Brown, to repay more than $10,000 to seven local consumers, according to a news release from Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt.
Schmidt accused Jeffery, who used nearly a half dozen business names, of engaging in door-to-door sales of home improvement services, including installation, sealing and repair of asphalt driveways, without complying with state law, and of engaging in roofing contractor services without registering with the state.
The state accused Jeffery of violating the Kansas Consumer Protection Act by failing to notify consumers of their three-day right to cancel the transaction, cashing the consumers checks prior to midnight of the fifth business day and willfully misrepresenting material facts about the work.
Jeffery, whose business names included Quality Construction, Quality Paving, Quality Coatings, Asphalt Maintenance and Pro-Tech, was ordered to repay a total of $10,001 for violations of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act.
Schmidt warned consumers to be especially cautious of door-to-door home repair sales, which claim to offer a good deal.
With the summer construction and storm season underway, consumers should be on the lookout for disreputable operations looking to make a quick buck, Schmidt said. Consumers who are in need of driveway or roofing repairs should seek out local, reputable contractors, get multiple written estimates, and carefully check references before having any work done.

Get a roof, get a gun!
Thats the pitch Alabama roofers are using to attract customers, promising them a free AR-15 rifle in a video ad that has created big buzz on the Internet, FOX 13 reported.
Zach Blenkinsopp, of Decatur-based Digital Roofing Innovations, along with co-owner Chris McGuire created the 1-minute ad to attract new customers to their business.
The video shows Blenkinsopp putting on his roofing gear, which he takes from the back of his car, as he tells viewers: Im not here to talk to you about roofing Im here to talk to you about AR-15 rifles. If you sign up for a new roof with Digital Roofing Innovations, you are going to get you a free AR-15 rifle after we complete the roof.
Blenkinsopp and McGuire told WIAT that they dont have a big budget for marketing, so the do-it-yourself advertising campaign seemed to make the most sense.
'I knew it would invoke emotion.'
"I posted this in extremely conservative Facebook groups, extremely liberal Facebook groups, because I knew it would invoke emotion, McGuire told WIAT.
McGuire said that while critics are taking aim at the ads for promoting violence, its legal to get a free gun for buying a roof.
When the duo completes a roof, the customer will be given a voucher for a gun, and will have to go through all the same background checks as if they were buying their own guns.
"You get to choose what you believe in and if people don't like it then we don't care. We're going to continue to do our business and take care of our customers,"Blenkinsopp told Fox 13.

Roofing company offering free guns to customers - Fox News

Roofing | Comments Off on Roofing company offering free guns to customers – Fox News
In 2015 alone, two million tons of recycled asphalt shingles went into new pavement around the country, which saved taxpayers 2.6 billion dollars. In this Angie's List report, an industry that salvages shingles to put them into our roadways.
Asphalt shingles are the number one roofing material in the country, but what happens to them when they're replaced?
According to Angie's List founder, Angie Hicks, "Eighty percent of U.S. homes have asphalt shingles on their roof, so keeping these shingles out of landfills is a big win for the environment."
Across the nation, companies like Indiana Shingle Recycling receive loads of old shingles from roofers and contractors.
Liesel Ray, Co-Owner of Indiana Shingle Recycling says, "They unload it here and then we have hands-on guys that get in there and physically have to go through and basically pull the trash out of it."
Bone Dry Roofing, which serves 10 Midwest markets, drops off daily at an average of 85-dollars per truckload.
"So the majority of the material we tear off of roofs actually goes into the shingle recycling program. We've been recognized by our manufacturer as one of the top recycling contractors in the United States." Judd Haag, General Manager of Bone Dry Roofing.
Shingles go into a massive shredder to create what asphalt companies use in their pavement mix.
"It basically grinds it up and pulverizes it into a consistency kind of in between a pea gravel and a coffee ground." says Ray.
When one mountain of shingles goes through the shredder, another takes its place.
"As you can see behind me, if this was sitting in the landfill, it's basically going to sit there forever. By us taking it and recycling it, it's put back into the roads so everyone's basically driving on recycled material." says Ray.
Angie says to ask potential roofers if they recycle old shingles. Because most consider it the new standard, if one tells you they don't do it, consider one that does.

There are nearly 5.6 million commercial buildings across the United States, which generate approximately 16% of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reduce the environmental impact of these commercial facilities, even the smallest eco-friendly renovation shouldnt be overlooked, as it can create positive change. In fact, according to the U.S. EPAs ENERGY STAR program, if energy efficiency among commercial buildings improved by just 10%, there could be a total cost savings of about $40 billion, not to mention the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that would be prevented. Following are three renovations may not only reduce a commercial buildings carbon footprint, but even help save money over the long-term:
Install vegetated roofing. Vegetated roofs offer a host of environmental and functional benefits to facility management staff, ranging from stormwater management and creation of new usable space to air quality improvements and, of course, significant energy savings. Vegetated roof systems provide shade and aid in cooling the air around the building through evapotranspiration. This reduces the pressure put on a facilitys mechanical heating and cooling systems for the floor directly below the vegetated roof, resulting in significant energy savings.
However, the actual thermal performance varies widely and is dependent upon factors including building design, time of year, depth of media, vegetation type and coverage, and amount of water held within the system. Nonetheless, these energy savings are real; theyre a dividend on the initial investment in a vegetated roof. Vegetated roofs also help protect the underlying roof system from extreme temperatures and ultraviolet rays, extending its service life and saving money from a roof replacement or restoration.
In addition to energy savings, installing a vegetated roof offers ample stormwater management benefits. A vegetated roof system reduces the volume of stormwater runoff, which helps alleviate the stress put on infrastructure. This is of importance in urban areas because excess stormwater runoff is the major contributor to non-point source pollution, stream bank erosion, and the cost to treat the water. Vegetated roofing mimics the role that soil and vegetation play in a natural setting by absorbing the water and eliminating impervious surfaces.

Roofing companies in at least two states have adopted a bizarre marketing campaign in which customers who buy a roof get a free semi-automatic weapon as a bonus.
Digital Roofing Innovations in Decatur, Alabama, is the latest to offer the special. The company released a campy, over-the-top ad on July 4 complete with short shorts, beers, and gunfire promising an AR-15 to anyone who orders a roofing job.
Co-owner Zach Blenkinsopp, the scantily-clad star of the ad, promises its not a gimmick.
Youre gonna get you a free AR-15 rifle after we complete the roof. Hows that sound? he says. Donald Trumpsays, make America great again, I say, make America gun again.
The company likely drew inspiration from a similar Denver-area campaign by Weatherproof Roofing & Exteriors in Colorado, which made headlines in May with its offer of an AR-15, a handgun, a self-defense shotgun or a $500 gift certificate to Cabelas.
Both companies offer a voucher for a gun after the customer passes a background check. Its all completely legal.
Blenkinsopp, a self-proclaimed Navy veteran, told local WHNT that he wasnt trying to make social commentary about the gun violence problem in America. Weatherproofs ad is a bit more political, however,stating on its website, Youre a true patriot who believes that gun ownership isnt just your right, its to protect citizens like you against the infringement on your God-given rights.
Weatherproof Roofing
Still, the issue is polarizing. As weve reported, lawmakers are still split on whether a more weaponized populace is the answer to gun violence, even after a gunman shot a member of Congress and four other peopleat baseball practicein the northern Virginia in June. HuffPosts Nick Wing argues that more guns are not the answer.
Regardless, its as easy as ever to get your hands on a semi-automatic gun. Shortly after the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando last year, it took us just 38 minutes to buy our own AR-15 a process that was delayed only because people were flocking to buy them after the shooting, a phenomenon that always happens after mass shootings.
