Off The Roof Friday: Epic Fail

That's not something you want to have happen on air. Now they wanted to say it was because the floor was slippery. If the floor was slippery, why were you using that area demonstrate the product in the first place. You always need secure footing before beginning a climb on a ladder. Now what I saw was the poor guy lost his footing. This is why you need to be careful at all times of where you are on a ladder, step up and down one rung at a time and make sure both feet are on ladder if you're working stationary on the ladder. As funny as this is in hindsight, I'm sure no one including the guy who fell off the ladder or the makers of the commercial found it funny. They were advertising a product which legitimately a good product. One of our specialist uses of these telescope ladders and they are incredibly and go anywhere. Unfortunately, this commercial does not do the ladder justice, because when used correctly and safety, it can be an awesome tool. Ladders in general are great tools but they are not toys and shouldn't be played with or handled improperly.

Well, it doesn't get any worse than this. How did he get up there in the first place? He's trying to get down on a step ladder gripping the edge of the roof. This was an accident waiting to happen. I can only assume this was not a professional roofing contractor because all roofers at least use real ladders that comply with OSHA regulations and will get you up and down the roof no problem. If this really what the title says, that this was a "Roof Repair Fail" then hopefully this guy reconsidered doing the repair and went

These folks aren't parkour experts!

Roof Safety

The important part of getting on a roof is being safe and secure. An average of six roofers die each month in America from falling off a roof. Even inspecting a roof can being dangerous, so it’s important that a roofing contractor equips their specialists with the right equipment.

Let’s start with getting on the roof, a roofer should have a ladder with him or her that is approved by local codes and OSHA regulations. Using a damaged or unbalanced ladder is very dangerous and is not recommended, buy a new ladder over using a bent ladder anytime. The ladder should be placed on solid, level ground, unbalanced ground is just as dangerous as an unbalanced ladder. The ladder should be set on solid backing.

Being on the roof provides a new measure of peril for a roofer. Normal tennis shoes can only get a person so far on a roof, when a roof slope gets steep, walking up the slope safely means wearing soft-soled boots made for walking up roofs. In this situation, we recommend and use Cougar Paws for the safety of our specialists. Sometimes the traction that roofing boots provide won’t help against really steep roof slopes, that’s where safety harnesses come into play. By securing a harness to the top of the roof, a roofer is able to move around any slope safely.

Other measures include making sure the ladder is clean and free of slip hazards, not placing the ladder near electrical boxes or wires, and climbing one rung at a time up or down. If you meet a contractor who doesn't practice these safety measures, call us at 1-844-5RESTORE because we do.

You Don't Have To Take Our Word For It

Sean White | H.O.A. President Richmond Place | Loganville, GA

To whom it may concern,
I am writing on behalf of Rosser Catastrophe Services in recommendation of their services in home restoration. When hail hit the neighborhood in early 2013, RCS came in and performed exceptional work for several homes in the neighborhood. They also repaired the roof on the gatehouse at the main entrance.
The recent storms brought many “contractors” to our area, some which are licensed and insured, however RCS has been by far the most professional and timely. Their interaction with us from their first contact has been friendly and homeowner focused. RCS is also backed by the Better Business Bureau and is locally rooted here in Georgia.
The only thing as impressive as their work is how they leave a home after they’re finished with it. Construction often leaves much cleanup work, but in every house in the neighborhood they worked on, the property is spotless after they leave.
The recent storms also brought to light an issue that most homeowners are unaware of, Atlas Chalet shingles, a shingle that has been discontinued but not before being installed on countless homes. They informed our homeowners that if the roof has sustained the appropriate amount of damage, many insurance companies would pay for a new roof because Atlas Chalet is no longer being made nor is the Atlas Company honoring its warranty.
As President of the Homeowner’s Association for Richmond Place, I highly recommend Rosser Catastrophe Services for anyone’s home restoration needs. Several homes in the neighborhood are a visible testimony of their work. Resident David Linder has an excellent video testimony that can be found on the RCS website at www.8445restore.com where you can find out more about RCS.
Best Regards,
Sean White

The Benefits of Remodeling

    

    The "Catastrophe" in Rosser Catastrophe Services can be a little misleading because we're not just in the business home restoration after a natural disaster; we're also here to help you remodel your home. There are several reasons to want to improve your home.

     It doesn't always take a softball-sized hail storm to ruin your house; sometimes defects or the age of the house over time will take its toll on the home and eventually cause problems. The best thing to do is upgrade your home, give it new flooring and walls, before the old catches up to giving need for restoration work.

     By having a fresh new house to come home to, you can have a new sense of pride and self-esteem. You can tell a lot about a person by looking at their home. It makes a great impression on guests to walk in and be blown away by the design of your abode. If you don't have guests, you can still feel proud looking around and saying "This is my house!"

     HGTV has several shows about real estate flippers, people who buy broken down homes cheap, restore them, and sell them for a price significantly higher than what they paid for the house and restoration combined. Similarly, it's a trend for home owners intending to sell their homes to do the same thing, fixing up the house 2-3 years before selling it, they have discovered it greatly raises the value of the home selling new and improved as opposed to leaving it broken down for the next home owner to fix. Taking the time to remodel your home allows you to enjoy the improvements you've made to the house in your last days living there.

     If you want to make a new home out of your old house, trust us to remodel your home and remake it into a dream home. Call us at 1-844-5RESTORE, or visit us on the web at www.8445restore.com.

Funny Stories

    Going off-topic from the usual information, it's Off The Roof Friday where I try to be a little entertaining to break away from norm because it's the weekend time to have fun. Today, I want to share some stories that I find hilarious in hindsight. You know, RCS is the best contractor out there, when you trust us to with your home restoration project, we do everything to get the job done right the first time, and most of the time we do just that. there are; however, times every once in a while, when things just don't according to plan.

    When I was still new to the business, I rode with a claim specialist to get some field experience. We went to a house where he got on the roof and couldn't get off, so he told me to bring the ladder to another part of the house. I didn't have a lot of experience with a 28-foot extending ladder and when I retracted the ladder, everything was going well... until my arm got caught in the retracting latch. The pain disoriented me and next thing I know, the ladder was riding my back like a rodeo bull. Thankfully, I got the ladder on the ground without breaking anything except for my pride, for the record I still not have lived that down.

    One evening we were working on a water remediation job and after we spent seven days extracting all the moisture from the home, someone in our crew who very skilled at plumbing saw an issue with the toilet. He went to go pull the toilet out, and the guy in charge said, "I don't think that's a good idea." He replied, "I been doing this for 20 years." And as soon as he said "20 years" he pulled that toilet and the water come running out of the pipes, undone one third of the work we did to get the house . The moral of this story: It doesn't matter if you have 20 years experience in plumbing, make sure the water pressure is turned off before you take something out of a bathroom.

    I was out hanging advertising flyers in a neighbor and I came up to a door, put a flyer on the door and I went to leave. As I was leaving the garage door, I heard the homeowner saying, "Don't you dare ring that doorbell!" I about jumped eight feet in the air, I turn around and he asked, "Can I help you?" And I said, "Oh I was just hanging some information on your door, sir." And he chuckled and said, "Oh okay, sorry to startle you, just got a sick wife inside and I didn't want someone ringing the bell bothering her, you have a great day." From that day on, I learned to be on guard when entering and leaving someone's property when door hanging.

    These are just a few rare stories that I gotta look back and laugh at. I turned 29 years old about a week ago, and ten years ago when I was working as a bagger in a grocery store, if you told me I was going to be part of the best restoration contractor around, I would have said, "No way, I don't even know what contractors do." But it has been fun working with Johnathon Rosser, the only boss I've ever worked for who can properly execute a chokeslam.

Restoration

     

     

     Dictionary.com defines restoration as the act of restoring; renewal, revival, or

reestablishment, the state or fact of being restored, a return of something to a former,

original, normal, or unimpaired condition, the restitution of something taken away or lost.

There are several types of home restoration as well as several reasons for home

restoration.

     Restoration is important to your home after a storm for so many reasons. Your home

needs restoration because it needs a renewal of its original appearance. When a storm

damages your home it takes the dignity of your home, restoration gives back that dignity.

When a tree hits your home, restoration is needed to repair the hole in your house. If your

roof is banged up, your home will eventually need restoration, because those roof dents eventually become ceiling leaks. The same goes for your siding, your home needs restoration to restore the first impression your siding provides.

     Sometimes a storm doesn’t have to be the reason for restoration, sometimes age plays a factor. Carpet restoration is a must when your carpet is fading, but did you know your windows could be to blame? Window restoration is a must when your old windows aren’t blocking the UV ray that cause the carpet to fade. Interior restoration spruces up your home and keeps it dignity for house guests. After a leak, a house typically needs two types or restoration, roof restoration for the exterior and ceiling restoration for the interior. When people look up they don’t want to moisture stains from a roof leak, especially when the roof that caused the leak was fixed years ago.

     We are a trusted restoration contractor. We have customer testimonials real by people who really had home restoration work done by us. We’re backed by the BBB, a Simonton Windows preferred contractor, and a GAF certified roofing contractor.
