CHESTERFIELD, Mo., Feb. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- It began in late 2015, roofing, restoration, and exteriors companyGundaker Construction and Restoration Groupexpanded its services to include interior remodeling and renovation projects--and it has taken off ever since. Now, in February 2017 the company is looking to hire 10 new Project Managers for Roofing & Exteriors and Interior Remodeling & Renovation.

By offering interior remodeling work as well as its traditional commercial and residential roofing, exterior restoration, and insurance claims offerings, Gundaker Construction and Restoration Group has become a comprehensive, diverse, one-stop shop for homeowners and commercial property owners hoping to have their properties roof replaced, interior remodeled, or any type of repair completed. The company made this decision because of customer demand.

"We were getting a lot of feedback from our customers that they want us to do interior jobs as well, so we decided to expand our services due to this demand," said Co-Owner/Director of Sales Mike Kossman. "We are now being contracted to perform remodeling work, large projects, in kitchens, basements, bathrooms and more as well as our commercial and residential roofing services," said Co-Owner Patrick Devers.

GundakerConstruction and Restoration Group has teamed up with a national company to do re-construction, most notably after water loss cleanup. "Due to the increase in these types of jobs, we have made new hires within the company who have very diverse construction backgrounds instead of just roofing and insurance claims. Most notably, our new General Manager Matt LaMorabrings 30 plus years experience in all aspects of roofing and construction. Matt has been asignificant addition to the team at GundakerConstruction," said Patrick Devers.

Completing interior projects for residential homes and build outs for commercial properties has proven to be a highly positive experience, with customers praising Gundaker Construction's attention to detail and high-quality work.

"Entering into this part of the industry and doing different types of jobs has been a very positive experience, since the majority of our business has come from word of mouth and referrals- we expect to have even more business once we begin to advertise that we offer these services and have multiple references as well we'll definitely be taking on a lot of high-end roofing and interior remodeling jobs in 2017," said Kossman.

Deversand Kossman hope Gundaker Construction and Restoration Group willadd a list of its new interior services on its website and social media pages, where the company will include before and after photos of interior projects.

"We're excited about offering these services to our new and existing clients. It's added a new element to our spectrum of work," said General Manager Matt LaMora.

Roofing Company, Gundaker Construction and Restoration Group, Adds High-End Interior Remodeling and ... - PR Newswire (press release)

Layering Twice is Not so Nice If you need a new roof, and two layers of roofing are already in place, building codes require stripping the roofing down to the sheathing. Most homes are strong enough to support two layers of roofing, but installing some of the heavier laminated shingles over even a single layer may overstress rafters and other structural parts of your home. If you are considering doubling up, check the manufacturer's warranty of the new roofing material to make sure it covers that type of usage.

Another important reason to consider complete removal before re-roofing is to have your roofer check for rot, water damage, or insect infestation underneath. Figure on an extra $100 per 100 square feet to strip off and dispose of the old shingles.

Whenever a new roof is installedor if old shingles are being removedyou'll need new underlayment (roofing felt) to create a moisture barrier between the roofing and the wood sheathing and rafters underneath. The sheathing may also have to be replaced if it's damaged.

Estimating Costs Suppliers sell roofing by the square, or 100-square-foot area. To estimate how much roofing you'll need, multiply the overall length and width of each roof section in feet to measure its area and add 10 percent to allow for waste. Then divide by 100 to determine how many squares you'll need. Figure on about 30 squares for a typical 2,300-square-foot house, plus roughly $3,500 to $10,000 for labor. Keep an extra bundle of shingles for minor repairs, like after a heavy storm.

Watch the Warranty A full warranty covers replacement of defective materials, while a materials warranty offers prorated coverage. Most warranties include full reimbursement for materials and installation for a limited timeup to 10 years for asphalt shingles and 50 years for fake slate and steel roofing we've seen. Generally, none of the warranties cover damage from winds above 85 mph. Nor do they cover faulty installation; ask for a separate labor warranty from the installer. Save all receipts and invoices.

First Rate Fire Rating Look for roofing with the highest fire rating, Class A.

The Solar Factor If you're considering going solar and also replacing your roof, it would be best to have them installed at the same time. Ideally, a structural engineer as well as a roofer should assess the roofs condition, including how much weight it can handle. Before installing a rooftop solar system, contact the roofing products manufacturer for written approval of the solar installation to ensure the roofing warranty will not be voided. Also, the fire classifications for the roof assembly and the solar system should be the same.

MCGREGOR, Texas (KWTX) A fire that broke out early Tuesday afternoon in a metal building at a McGregor roofing materials plant continued to burn Tuesday night.

Smoke from the fire was visible at least 45 miles away.

The fire was reported at around 1:45 p.m. in a building at GAP Roofing at 1158 Bunker Rd. in McGregor.

About twelve employees were evacuated from the facility before the first firefighters arrived.

The roof of the building, in which asphalt-saturated roofing felt was stored, later collapsed.

It was too dangerous for firefighters to go inside, so officials said Tuesday night they were letting the fire burn out.

Firefighters were able to keep the flames from reaching asphalt tanks near the building, but were keeping a close eye on them, McGregor Fire Chief Marty Dominguez said.

There was no immediate concern that the tanks might explode, he said.

Jeffrey Mincy, EMS Director/Chief Paramedic with Coryell Memorial Healthcare System EMS, said the fire had died down significantly by nightfall, but at least two crews would be out there at all times to monitor the blaze and put water on the tanks to keep them cool.

Volunteer firefighters from McGregor, Coryell City, Oglesby, and Gatesville responded to the fire, as did firefighters from the City of Waco Fire Department.

Earlier in the day, crews were driving fire units into McGregor in order to fill tanks with water as they continued to battle the flames.

As the fire died down, less water was needed, so the rural hydrant system at the site was adequate, said Mincy.

Mincy said the building would be burning for days.

Officials with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality were on scene Tuesday night evaluating the impact and potential hazards of the smoke caused by the materials being burned.

'Con artist' sentenced to 20 years for stealing nearly $400000 from roofing companies - Idaho Statesman

DaVinci Roofscapes Davinci Roofscapes improved production efficiencies for its polymer roof shakes and slate products, which allowed it to cut costs to its customers to better compete with traditional materials.

Orlando, Fla. DaVinci Roofscapes is passing along a reduction in internal costs to its customers with high hopes that homeowners ultimately will enjoy the savings on its polyethylene shake and slate products.

Price cuts of 11 to 16 percent went into effect in the fourth quarter of 2016 as the Lenexa, Kan.-based manufacturer repositions itself to be more competitive with natural alternatives like cedar and other roofing materials like asphalt.

Rather than hold on to that additional profit, we wanted to pass it on to the market, DaVinci CEO Ray Rosewall said at the International Builders Show in Orlando. We want homeowners to know they should be paying less so the contractors and distributors arent tempted to hold onto the extra dollars.

Its working in one region already, he added.

With our stock distributors in the Northwest, we are equal to or less than real wood, Rosewall said. Were in a significantly better position than weve ever been.

Founded in 1999, DaVincis lineup used to be considered specialty products, but company officials say it has gone mainstream since the first installations in 2001. Rosewall said from an aesthetic, performance and cost standpoint, synthetic roofing products are very competitive nowadays.

In 2016, about 85 percent of DaVincis business was replacement roofing and 15 percent was new construction, compared to an 80-20 ratio before the housing bubble.

During the depths of the building recession it was like 5 percent new construction, so things have improved and we expect it to continue, Rosewall said, adding that the company saw double-digit growth last year.

DaVinci Roofscapes DaVinci automated some operations to cut production costs of its roofing systems.

DaVinci also realized some operational efficiencies that prompted the price decrease. Some 1,000-ton machines were added in recent years that took production from molding two parts in a cycle to eight parts. Then, wheels were put on the off-the-shelf conveyors so they can be rolled into place for in-line collating. Customers get bundles of pre-sorted product in all the different widths, sizes and colors they ordered.

With other companies you have to do that on the job site, Rosewall said. That adds time and youre totally dependent on how effectively they shuffle products together. By 3 in the afternoon theyre not as motivated as 8 a.m. and you get inconsistent color segregation on the roof. You get down and see a purple splotch. Weve eliminated that risk by doing it in-house for the roofer.

Previously, the production crew would mold all the 9-inch parts, put them on a pallet and then into the stock room until they were needed. Then, all the various sizes and colors for a job would be taken out of stock for collating and bundling.

Now we do all that when we mold, Rosewall said. Weve eliminated the double handling. Weve eliminated the additional labor. Its much more efficient for us and it improves our response time to the customer.

The change didnt affect the full-time workforce, and it eliminated the need to bring in temporary workers for collating, Rosewall said.

DaVinci also has tweaked its material technology with foaming agents that reduce resin content and product weight, particularly for its starter shingles.

A lot of the companys EcoBlend roofing products are being shipped west to California, where the shake and slate tiles can help builders meet the states Title 24 code requirements that call for zero-net energy houses by 2020 and non-residential buildings by 2030. The EcoBlend lineup has been approved by the Cool Roof Rating Council to reflect sunlight and heat away from a house or commercial structure. The roof tiles reduce the cooling load of a building, which saves energy and contributes to a lower heat island effect in heavily populated areas. DaVinci is out with four new EcoBlend colors for a total of six.

Heads-up, Angelenos: Roofing scams are popping up in the wake of recent storms.

Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer warned residents Thursday about falling victim to roofing scams, saying his office has already received complaints.

Feuer said his office has only received several complaints so far this year, but he is putting out the warning because "we are at this moment where we can prevent ... complaints if we do our work collectively well.''

At a news conference at City Hall East, Feuer highlighted a recent case where an elderly couple paid an unlicensed contractor $5,900 for roof repairs that instead made the problem worse.

Feuer's office is seeking more than $95,000 in restitution for the couple. The man was convicted of contracting without a license and must perform community service and was placed on probation for three years.

Feuer said consumers should be wary of contractors who show up at their door unsolicited, ask for a large down payment in advance, or say they will do the work without a permit.

Numerous problems are associated with hiring unlicensed contractors, Feuer said, noting that they often are not bonded, typically do not have workers' compensation insurance and are frequently not trained to do the work.

Rick Lopes, chief of public affairs for the California State Licensing Board, said some scam artists will prey on elderly, physically infirm couples, make up a non-existent roof repair problem and then pretend to do the work before making off with an easy payment.

Lopes estimated there are 60,000 to 70,000 unlicensed contractors working in the state and said his office gets roughly 20,000 complaints per year, but he could not say how many are related to roofing scams.

With the state having been in a severe drought the last few years, the scams change, Lopes said. He pointed out that roughly a year ago, he and Feuer held a similar news conference to warn about scams related to the drought.

"The fact is there are going to be people out there (doing scams) no matter what's happening,'' Lopes said.
