Is the roof ready for spring storms?
Spring is here.
Now is a good time to
check for roof problems
that may have developed
or worsened over the winter
months. It is wise to address
roof problems while
they are still minor, before
they develop into major
problems that can cause
significant damage to the
inside of a home.
Prusak Roofing Inc. developed
this checklist to
ensure the roof is in good
condition to withstand
spring storms.
Outside roof check
• Loose nails, loose or
missing shingles
• Finding nails on the
ground
• Split or curled shingles,
or those missing granules
• Sagging or bulging areas
on the roof
• Signs of animal activity
• Damaged/rusted/missing
flashing
• Damaged gutters or
downspouts
• Rotted or damaged fascia
board
• Hail or wind damaged
areas of roofing, siding
and fascia
Inside roof/attic check
• Leaks around chimney or
vents
• Water stains on ceilings
or walls
• Proper ventilation
• Sagging between rafters
• Visible light from outside
Minor problems can develop
quickly into major
issues with spring storms.
If one suspects there might
be a roof problem, a professional
assessment is
recommended.
Spring storms, with
wind and hail, may cause
both visible and unseen
damage to the roof. Homeowners
should check roofs
and siding following a severe
storm. Finding shingles
on the ground is an indication
of a problem, but
many roof problems are
not detected by the homeowner
until interior damage
occurs. If a homeowner
believes there may be
damage following a storm,
contact Prusak Roofing —
storm damage experts.
The business will respond
quickly, inspect the
roof, show photographs of
any damaged areas and, if
repair is needed, provide
homeowners with an estimate
for repair.
Prusak Roofing is a family-owned
business with
55 years of experience in
roofing, siding and gutters.
The business considers it a
privilege to be able to serve
customers, and realizes the
best recommendation is
when customers refer us to
their families, friends and
neighbors. Prusak Roofing
has an A+ rating with the
Better Business Bureau.
It is licensed, bonded and
insured.
Selecting the right contractor
is the most important
factor to a successful
home repair. Customers
should consider the contractor’s
reputation, length
of time in business, quality
of work, the guarantee of
work being completed as
expected, honest and fair
pricing, and the promise
from the company to stand
behind its work. Prusak
Roofing’s success have
been built on these principles,
and would like to
show area residents who it
is the company of choice
for thousands of homeowners.

Easy and quick, GMD
makes it an easy three-step
process.
Step 1 involves choosing
the perfect stone design.
The Granite & Marble Depot
offers a free consultation
at a customer’s home,
office or its showroom to
discuss needs and suggest
ideas. GMD highly recommends
that customers
bring a sketch of the project
to its showroom. It is a
good idea to bring a cabinet
sample and paint color,
as well. A GMD consultant
can help customers choose
the right stone, as there are
hundreds of colors from
which to choose.
Step 2 is placing the order.
To place an order with
GMD, it requires customers
to have the following
steps complete in their
home. Cabinets need to be
installed. All of the appliances
in the kitchen need
to be on location. The sink
needs to be on location,
so that GMD may take it
as a template for the sink
cutout.
Once the above requirements
are satisfied, GMD
can come out to measure/
template the kitchen. The
installers will work with
customers to make sure
all the specifications and
technical details are provided.
The last and final step is
the installation. The homeowner
must be present for
installation. GMD will
install the countertop and
backsplash.
Lastly, it will drill the
faucet holes, attach the
sink and mount the dishwasher.
