Hiring the right contractor to avoid these 11 common roof problems
May 28 2020
A home’s roof is one of its most important parts. Aside from being highly visible, the roof protects the home and its contents from the elements. When things are in good shape, a roof keeps the home cooler during the summer, warmer in winter, and dry on rainy days.
However, a damaged roof may lead to serious issues, additional damage, and unnecessary exposure to harsh weather. Because of these risks, it’s important to hire a qualified roofer to address these repairs as soon as possible. Here are 11 costly and dangerous mistakes homeowners can avoid by hiring an experienced roofing contractor.

Shopping in pandemic times
May 25 2020
Shopping during lockdown has been quite challenging. Since day one, without a car I thought I could rely on online shopping only to find out that my strategy of no bulk shopping prior to self-isolation had been penalising for me. I have never been able to get a delivery because I don’t fall under a category of people who need assistance.
