Today’s architectural style shingles can last up to 50 years – a vast improvement over roofing materials of yesteryear, […]
Birthdays: their annual occurrence brings with it not just celebration, but an opportunity for reflection.

Issues that may have started in the winter, like ice damming, are only exacerbated in the early spring, as compromised gutters fail to do their work.
