After getting used to an elaborate bucket system, roofing day is finally here! Well, okay, maybe not roofing day, since its going to take 4-5 days to do the whole roof, barn and all, but its still roofing time!

Though wed originally had our hearts set on a standing seam metal roof, with such a huge and elaborate roof, the cost of using metal was way out of our price range. Instead, we opted for shingles installed by Home Depot with a 50 year warranty. Still pricey, but definitely a lower cost than metal. Plus, we figured that since its backed by such a large entity, we are less likely to run into hassles if there are any issues with it down the road.

After the first day of roofing, the crew (who are all really friendly), was able to get one side of the barn stripped of its old, moldy shingles and replaced those with new ones!

Ill take be taking more pictures today of the before and after of the roof then and will post an update once its all done!

Yay for a new roof! No more buckets!

Roofing Time! - Bangor Daily News

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top seven leading vendors in their recent global roofing panels market 2017-2021 report. This market research report also lists 70 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.

Competitive vendor landscape

According to the research analysis, the global roofing panels market is a highly-fragmented market. The industry requires local production as transportation costs account for a substantial portion of the total costs and the customers expect short delivery times. In addition, regional variances of products based on climatic conditions, building practices, and technology preferences have urged global roofing panels manufacturers to establish a strong local presence. Given the relatively heavy or bulky nature of most roofing panel products, global participation can be expensive because of transportation costs. Thus, even roofing manufacturers with a national reach, such as GAF, tend to operate through a network of locations rather than through a centralized production center.

Customers in this market seek proven, and well-established products and materials under strong brand names with a long history of quality and expertise as long-term reliability are of crucial importance, says Gaurav Mohindru, a lead analyst at Technavio for construction research.

The report also states that entry into the roofing panel industry is relatively easy, with low barriers in terms of capital, marketing, and technological requirements. The wide range of product types and applications in the industry also provides opportunities for smaller firms to find a profitable niche in the market.

Triple-digit heat doesnt stop roofers from protecting El Paso families. (KFOX14)

Triple digit temperatures are here to stay for the rest of the week. The high was 102 on Wednesday. Not all of us have the luxury to work inside on hot days like this. KFOX14 met some roofers who said the heat doesn't stop them from doing quality work.

We power through all the way. Nonstop. Just to keep going as hard as we can before the heat comes, said Lee Marquez with Smith and Ramirez Roofing and Restoration.

"To beat the heat, we stay wrapped up. Wrap your face. We use rags like this and try and create a mask like that, said Ricardo Puga with Smith and Ramirez Roofing and Restoration.

This is a year-round job, even on hot days like this. The roofers told KFOX14 the only time they stop is for rain.

"The dangerous thing about this could be while you're up there working, you don't really feel the heat as much. It's not until you come down and cool down is when it hits you, said Miguel Miranda with Smith and Ramirez Roofing and Restoration.

They have tricks to keep cool.

"Start early. We try to take breaks. Between the three of us, we'll drink about 32 bottles of water a day, Puga said.

"At least a bottle every hour, it helps, said Miranda.

Smith and Ramirez Roofing works with a material that helps you and them in this weather.

"It's the best material in El Paso, Texas. This material prevents the heat from going into your house. Once we lay it all down, it could be 120 degrees and you could walk on the roof barefoot and it won't burn you at all, Marquez said.

The roofers said their focus isn't the heat, it's keeping El Paso families safe and covered.

"The best thing you can do is mind over matter out here, Puga said.

"If you're miserable at work, then you're going to be miserable everywhere else, you know? So you've gotta make it worth it. Make the best of it. Every day. You have to. The struggle is real, but you make it a better day, ya know?" Marquez said.

The roofers said they are trained to recognize signs of heat stress, and they always keep an eye on each other.

HOUSTON A Harris County homeowner is suing a Houston roofing contractor, alleging negligence led to injuries to the plaintiff.

Cecil Cutshall filed a complaint May 30 in Harris County District Court against JCT Enterprises LLC, alleging the contractor failed to follow workplace safety procedures.

According to the complaint, on June 15, 2016, Cutshall hired JCT Enterprises to repair the roof of his home in Cypress. While walking into his home, the suit says, a pitchfork fell from the roof and struck Cutshall on the head, face and chest.

Cutshall says he sustained serious injuries, resulting in pain and suffering, mental anguish and medical expenses. The plaintiff alleges JCT Enterprises failed to properly train and supervise its employees.

Cutshall seeks trial by jury, monetary relief between $200,000 and $1 million, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs of court and all other equitable relief. He is represented by attorneys Loren G. Klitas and Jared W. Cappe of Klitas & Vercher PC in Houston.

School is out for the summer and Derby Public School officials are using the break to get a major roofing project done at Derby Hills Elementary.

Derby Hills, built in 1986, has a 20-year-old roof, which is near the end of its service life, said Joe Dessenberger, director of operations at USD 260.

Thus, the school at 2230 N. Woodlawn is receiving a completely new roof on all areas except for its most recent addition, Dessenberger said.

The work will cover 57,346 square feet and its cost of $490,000 was approved by the school board. However, due to some changes, that cost has been reduced to $468,000.

The roof is being paid for by utilizing the remaining funds from the 2012 bond issue after all other projects were closed out and all outstanding invoices were paid or credits were received from contractors, he said.

The work is being done by Mahoney Roofing of Wichita and got underway on May 26.

It will have one crew on the job

in June and then add another crew next month. Thats to ensure that the job is done before school starts up again in August.

This project is at the tail end of a long series of roof projects that stemmed from the bond.

We replaced substantial sections of all roofs on all elementary schools with the exception of Derby Hills and Park Hill with the 2012 bond, Dessenberger said. We still need to address end-of-life roofs on the Administrative Center, Educational Support Center, maintenance and operations, transportation, and within a few years, Park Hill.

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) A Wichita roofing company said people are driving around claiming to be with them.

John Rhoden, owner of Rhoden Roofing said he's received two calls from people claiming to spot a fake Rhoden employee. The imposter has even gone as far as to put a Rhoden decal on their truck. One of the fakes was spotted dumping trash at Rhoden's old business location. The other was spotted speeding on the road.

"Our biggest concern is that they're going to do a job or maybe say they're going to do job and ask for money up front in our name, then a customer writes a check out to them and they don't do any work," said Rhoden.

Rhoden said you can spot an imposter because the fake decals do not have Rhoden's correct phone number on the trucks. Rhoden said the company also does not go door to door to solicit.

Rhoden's correct number is 316-927-2233.

Eatontown, NJ, June 14, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Roofinox, the leading manufacturer of architectural stainless steel, joined with nearly 20 other leading sheet metal product manufacturers at N.B. Handy's May-Chinery Show to demonstrate the latest array of materials and equipment to contractors and architects from around the country. Held at the N.B. Handy Machinery Group headquarters in Lynchburg, Va., the event was dedicated to the newest and preferred machinery product lines representing the general sheet metal, architectural metal fabrication and HVAC construction industries.

"We only chose the top vendors in their fields," says Paul Seufer, general manager of the N.B. Handy Machinery Group. "This two-day open house offered nearly 100 of our customers the ability to experiment with each product line in a hands-on, learning environment.

"Roofinox was chosen to participate in our May-Chinery Show based on its high-quality selection of stainless steel roofing products. Contractors and architects alike are increasingly embracing these products for their long-lasting performance in severe climates and superior aesthetics, which over time replicate the patina of lead-coated copper roofing materials," adds Seufer.

"We are always available when N.B. Handy calls," says Dave Rowe, vice president at Roofinox America. "The event provided a wonderful opportunity to address the roofing needs of contractors and architects based throughout the United States. Beauty and longevity are the foundation of our products, which we were happy to demonstrate in this highly informative and interactive forum. The turnout and enthusiasm shown by all who attended surpassed everyone's expectations."

Roofinox provides a range of tin-plated (Terne) products designed to offer long-term sustainability and corrosion-resistance for wall-cladding, flashing, rainware, interior design and virtually all forms of roofing applications. Roofinox Tin-plated (Terne) also remains the only tin-plated stainless steel product specifically developed and manufactured for roll forming and fabricating.

Originally developed to withstand the harsh climatic conditions found in Central Europe, the complete Roofinox Stainless Steel product line is ideal for applications ranging from rural, urban and light industrial areas to historic and commercial sites and extreme coastal environments. With ongoing exposure to the elements, Roofinox Tin-plated (Terne's) surface can be expected to develop an elegant matt grey patina finish over time.

A perfect substitute for lead-coated copper, zinc/tin-zinc coated copper, Terne-coated materials, galvalume and lead, Roofinox Tin-plated (Terne) is available in coil or sheet. Materials can be ordered by themselves so customers can do their own forming or prefabricated by a Roofinox distributor.

At the Slaughter Roofing Cancer Tennis Tournament, it's all about community support.

With all the money raised being directly donated to the American Cancer society, the tournament relies on sponsors and teams to keep afloat.

Nobody better represents that support than the Krammer family.

Along with being a food donor supplying competitors and spectators with breakfast burritos during Monday's matches the Cafe Mexicali owners entered a slew of teams in the tournament.

Between father Rick, mother Rosalie, children, Seth, Matt and Camille, and son-in-law Joe Stieber, the Krammers account for six teams in the field of more than 100.

"We always play to support it." Seth said. "It's for a good cause, plus it's a chance for some family competition."

And, despite that competitiveness, the Krammers have a support system most would love to have. That support was on full display Monday night, as the team of Seth and Matt played in the this year's opening match.

As they pushed through the wind and heat, the rest of the family was in the bleachers cheering them on, making water runs and making sure they had anything else they needed.

Mike Usher, who has been involved in running this tournament since its beginning 38 years ago, stressed the importance of families like the Krammers in keeping it as successful as it has been.

"There are so many more things today to compete for people's interest," Usher said. "People like (the Krammers), donating the food and putting the teams together, really keep this running and help us maximize what we can donate."

Carolyn Gattis, who also has contributed to the tournament for a number of years, echoed Usher's thoughts. She added how crucial not only the Krammers, but everybody who participates is to the cause.

"By the generosity of the community through donating food or money, or just playing, we are able to put every dollar to work," she said.

Though the Krammers play a big part in donating to the tournament, and being able to compete against each other, there is something bigger that has kept them coming back for the past eight years.

"It's a great chance to keep something we love doing together," Rosalie Krammer said. "As kids get older and get married and have children and have their lives, it's a great opportunity to spend some time together as a family."
