Qualifying contractors can be existing customers, walk-ins or new account setups that have purchased during the previous month. This is our way of saying “Thank you” and to show our appreciation from our staff. Our first gift will be delivered soon and we’ll announce the winner in the December edition.

Are you familiar with IBHS?
It is the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety.
The following information is gathered from their website – https://ibhs.org/.
WHY IBHS?
Severe weather disrupts lives, displaces families, and drives financial loss. IBHS delivers top-tier science and translates it into action so we can prevent avoidable suffering, strengthen our homes and businesses, inform the insurance industry, and support thriving communities.
Back on June 25, 2020, they provided “shingle performance ratings” for class 4 impact rated products. Below are the results of their tests. Note that not all of these products are available in our region. It is an interesting list based on their criteria. I found it very interesting.
Shingle Performance Ratings
Consumers deserve to have confidence that shingles labeled as impact resistant live up to expectations.
IBHS and its members recognized the growing problem of hail damage in large regions of the United States and have devoted years to field and lab research to develop a new test standard for impact resistance.
To conduct testing, IBHS bought the major competing widely purchased impact-resistant shingles from standard distribution channels accessible to consumers, brought them to our lab, and tested them under scientifically replicated real-world conditions. The results offer unprecedented insights into the performance of shingles labeled as impact resistant.
Our 2021 calendars are in. If you want one, stop by the office or call us and we’ll drop one off. It will be nice to not see 2020 on the calendar any longer. What a year!
It’s the time of year, as the temperature gets cooler, to consider the safe range to install asphalt shingles. The rule of thumb for roofing is 40 degrees and rising, but there are other things to consider:
Is the sun out even in cooler temps? Direct sunlight can help when your close to the safe zone of installing.
Are there trees that keep the structure in the shade? If so, you may want to wait.
Is your crew working on the south or west facing slopes. This can help by getting more sun.
Build a hot box or use a garage or building to warm the material to keep production up.
To prevent issues later, follow the manufacturers guidelines for installation. Click the following links to see what their recommendations are.
