The Alamance-Burlington School System is close to settling a lawsuit with Dow Chemical, and replacing the leaking roofs that have been a topic of conversation all summer.

Some background:

J.P. Stevens Roofing, which was bought by Dow in 2008, installed six roofs for ABSS in 2005 at Sellars-Gunn Educational Center, E.M. Holt Elementary School, Graham and Broadview middle schools, and two at Cummings High School under a 15-year warranty.

For the past year, major leaks have appeared in these roofs, and now its gotten to the point where four out of the six need to be fully replaced.

Why are the roofs leaking?

Assistant Superintendent for Operations Todd Thorpe says its a materials issue.

A TPO roof has foam insulation, and then it has, for lack of a better word, a piece of white plastic thats really heavy, he explained. Forty-five mil is what we have. If we do it again, I want to go back to 60 mil, which means it will be a heavier roof. So the roof has a layer of plastic and then a screen wire and then another layer of plastic. It should have enough UV protection that the sun doesnt disturb the material, but if we went on the roof and looked, youd see where the top layer of plastic is disintegrating, so were losing layers like that.

Broadview and Cummings have had the worst leaks because the roofs arent shaded by trees, thus theyve been exposed to more harmful UV rays than other facilities.

Graham Middle School is next on that list, but E.M. Holt and Sellars-Gunn are shaded enough to buy them another year or two.

What is ABSS doing about it?

Engineers and attorneys have walked the roofs, pictures have been taken, and core samples have been done by the engineering firms.

Until a settlement is reached with Dow something Thorpe hopes will come in the next few weeks the school system has been approved to patch the roofs at Broadview, Cummings and Graham with a heavy top coating, and replace ceiling tiles under a cap of $20,000.

We know its a temporary fix, but its a fix to get kids back in school, Thorpe said.

In the meantime, planning has already begun for how to swing replacing the worst damaged roofs at Broadview and Cummings this year while students are in school.

These roofs are not residential roofs. With a residential roof, you call somebody, they show up in a week, and three days later theyre finished, Thorpe said. We go through a much more complex procedure. There will be an engineer drawing, it will go out for bids, specs will have to be laid out. Once we get the funding and we can get started, its probably going to be three months, and thats if the weather cooperates with us.

The cost is quite a bit different from residential roof replacement as well.

Broadview alone will cost around $550,000, and new roofs for all five facilities are expected to cost more than $2 million which is why the much-anticipated lawsuit settlement price tag is important.

Once the lawsuit is resolved, Thorpe hopes to be able to present to the Board of Education in September and get the ball rolling as soon as possible.

New company in Pensacola gives roof to family in need

A Pensacola family will soon have a new roof over their heads thanks to a business moving into the area.

Tadlock Roofing celebrated the grand opening of their Pensacola office on Thursday by presenting a certificate for a new roof to Habitat for Humanity.

The company will replace a roof for a homeowner who cannot afford the cost of a major replacement.

For a company to come in brand new and say 'I love the community' that just warms your heart. You really say you're about the community," said Josh Womack with Habitat for Humanity.

Pensacola Habitat's Neighborhood Revitalization Board will pick a homeowner in need to receive the roof replacement in early September.

Tadlock said they will begin work right away.

Habitat for Humanity has about seven families who need a major roof replacement, but the nonprofit rarely does them because the cost is so high.

The remains of two of the 10 missing sailor have been recovered by the Navy.

Andy Sacks/Getty ImagesA well-maintained roof is critical for preserving the value of your home. Roofsprotect homeinteriors from the elements, and when they start leaking, expensive repair billsarent far behind.

A well-made roof can last 30 to 50 years, but once it startsleaking or even just showing signs of age (like wrinkled shingles), its time to replace it.

So how much does it cost to replace a roof? Heres a look at what contractors charge for roofing jobs and what to expect on the estimate sheet.

The cost to replace a roof corresponds to the dimensions of the roof, which the roofer measures in 100-square-foot subsection called roofing squares.

For example, a 1,500-square-foot roof (15 roofing squares) costs less to replace than a 2,000-square-foot roof (20 roofing squares) with the same materials.

Thats because the larger roof requires more material and more labor to complete the project.

If you need a personal loan to pay for roof replacement or repairs, check out the rates at Bankrate.com.

The roofing material is a major factor in the cost of a roof replacement. Most homeowners choose between shingles made from asphalt or wood, tiles, or metal sheets. Each type of roofing material has its own set of price points.

Asphalt shingles

Asphalt shingle roofs remain common throughout the country because they are affordable, and in some cases handy homeowners can install them without assistance from a professional roofer.

The cost to install asphalt shingles varies depending on the quality of the shingles, with the average cost ranging from $2.75 to $7.50 per square foot. That means an average-sized roof of 1,750 square feet costs $4,000 to $13,000 to replace with asphalt shingles.

A metal roof

Homeowners who choose a metal roof appreciate the durability of the material. It holds up well against weather conditions that can damage other types of roofs.

Steel roofs are the most affordable type of metal roof, costing $5,100 and $22,000 to install. On the other end of the spectrum, a copper roof ranges from $25,500 to $39,600 to install. In addition, lightweight aluminum costs $11,900 to $24,200.

Tile roofs

Popular on Mediterranean and Spanish colonial-style homes, a tile roof is a long-lasting alternative to asphalt shingles. Made from an array of materials ranging from concrete to slate, tile roofs withstand cold winters and sweltering summers, making them suitable for several climates.

Installing a tile roof starts at $7,650 and can cost more than $100,000, depending on the size of the roof and type of tile.

Wood shingles and shakes

Many homeowners avoid wood shingles and shakes because of their lack of durability and the amount of maintenance they require. But, these shingles are attractive and give the house a distinctive look.

Wood shingles cost $4 to $7 per square foot to install. Wood shakes are more expensive, ranging from $6 to $9 per square foot. A natural wood roof needs treatment to prevent insect and animal infestation.

Another important factor in determining the cost to replace a roof is the pitch of the roof. If the house has a steep slope (greater than a 7:12 ratio), the owner pays more for roof repair because it increases the roofers workload. They spend more time climbing up and down ladders if the slope is steep enough that they cannot store materials nearby or must use safety harnesses while working.

Like the pitch of the roof, the style influences the roofs replacement cost. Ranch-style roofs have low pitches and few gables, making them easier to work on than the complex roofs on Victorian and Tudor-style homes with multiple steeply sloped gables.

Dormer windows, skylights and chimneys seen in colonial, contemporary and Cape Cod-style homes also increase the cost, especially if they have cracks or other damage that need repairs.

Before installing the new roof, the contractor must remove the existing one. Some contractors charge by the size of the roof, while others bill by the hour.

Removing the roof on a simple ranch-style house can cost as little as $500, but the price can go as high as $10,000 if the roof has significant damage, like rotting timbers or damaged support beams.

The cost of replacing a roof is impacted by many factors. The type of roof and size are the biggest cost elements. The pitch of the roof and the style of the home also play a role in how much it will cost to put in a new roof.

Rensselaer beehive steeple a towering challenge to repair

RENSSELAER Fixing a slate roof is always a challenge. Its even more difficult when the roof curves in different directions as does the 165-foot-tall beehive steeple of the Parish of St. John the Evangelist and St. Joseph.

It towers over the city of Rensselaer, Deacon Greg Mansfield said of the 1891 landmark cone-shaped steeple.

The last time the parish dealt with replacing the slate shingles was in the late 1950s to early 1960s. Thats when workers climbed out of a small hatch in the steeple and swung above the city on a boatswains chair to perform the repairs, Mansfield said. This summer, the steeple is encased in scaffolding that rises from Herrick and Lawrence streets up to its tip.

There only a few beehive steeples across the nation, said Mansfield. He grew up in St. Raymonds Parish in the Bronx where the church had two such steeples. He said the beehive steeples are believed to have originated in Bavaria in southern Germany, and the complexity of the design made maintenance difficult. The Rensselaer parish decided it had to deal with the aging slate shingles when leaks sprouted in the church ceiling damaging the plaster.

Theyre putting flat pieces of shingle on a curved surface, Mansfield said about the steeple roof that he called elliptical and hyperbolic in contemplating its curves.

The replacement of the shingles, painting and replacement of metalwork that dates back 126 years to the building of the Catholic church will cost about $300,000. The scaffolding accounts for about one-third of the repair work, Mansfield said. A couple of parishioners, who want to keep their donations anonymous, paid for about two-thirds of the work, said Mansfield.

Wainschaf Associates and Bruce Adams Roofing are performing the repairs, Mansfield said.

Its wonderful to be a part of it, said Jerry Wainman, president and CEO of Wainschaf Associates who is also a parishioner.

Wainman was at the top of the scaffolding last week. The view of Albany from there, he said, is breathtaking, and the steeple is solid.

Its amazing what good shape its in, said Wainman, noting that the slate work should be completed this week with the painting and metalwork done in the next couple of weeks.

The repairs should last for about 50 years, Mansfield said.

The parish will partner with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany to undertake an additional capital campaign to fund additional improvements, Mansfield said.

Rensselaer beehive steeple a towering challenge to repair - Albany Times Union

Downtown Phoenix's Burton Barr Central Library will remain closed until June 2018, due to flooding that occurred the evening of June 15.

Thats the latest update from Phoenix City Manager Ed Zuercher, who estimates that related repairs and renovation will run in the $6 to $8 million range.

Designed by Phoenix architect Will Bruder, Burton Barr Central Library is the flagship of the Phoenix Public Librarys 17-branch system. It opened in 1995.

Zuercher announced the news on Friday, August 18, during a press briefing at the library, along with library representatives including Lee Franklin, community relations manager for Phoenix Public Library.

Franklin has been providing regular updates for the public on the Phoenix Public Library website since the June 15 incident. Previously, patrons were told the library would be closed indefinitely.

Early reports indicated that flooding occurred due to a monsoon storm with 50 mph winds that lifted part of the librarys roofing, affecting a fire sprinkler system embedded inside it.When that system released water, it flooded the fifth floor. Then, that water traveled downward to every floor of the nearly 300,000-square-foot facility.

Stacks emptied of damaged books at Burton Barr Central Library.

Lynn Trimble

But the exact nature of the damage, and the precise cause, is still under investigation.

Initial inspections have revealed some disturbing details, including significantproblems with the librarys sprinkler system like corroded piping and broken air compressors.

Those issues are detailed in a report by Wiss, Janney, Eistner Associates Inc., an Illinois-based firm that specializes in investigating, analyzing, and designing repairs for historic and contemporary buildings. They've been working with the library to determine likely causes and needed fixes.

Here's what the report makes clear. Those corroded pipes allowed water from the sprinkler system to leak in the west portion of the building. That water then entered the northwest part of the building, where most of the librarys losses occurred.

Which brings us to two major questions: Who knew about those problems, and why werent they properly addressed?

More than 7,200 of Burton Barrs Central Librarys 500,000-piece collection were damaged and discarded. Many remaining books have been moved to other branches, and most artworks are being stored offsite.

The building itself suffered considerable damage, which is still being assessed. Visible signs of the storms aftermath inside the library include concrete floors without carpet, open drywall, and remaining items wrapped in plastic.

Brycon Construction is currently assessing interior damage and creating a plan for needed repair and replacement work. That plan will include a timeline and cost details.

Entering the library on Friday, August 18.

Lynn Trimble

At this point,Wiss, Janney, Eistnerhas identified two major items that need to be replaced besides books, furniture, and other items before the library can reopen.

The library needs a new roof and a new fifth-floor sprinkler system, according to the report.

Replacing the roof will likely cost $1.1 to $1.7 million, and take four to five months. Replacing the fifth-floor sprinkler system will take five to six months, and cost between $600,000 and $700,000.

Of course, repairs and renovations are only part of what needs to happen now.

The City is also dealing with insurance issues and the question of liability.

Previous inspection reports by Tempe-based RCI Systems note several problems with Burton Barr Central Librarys fire protection system.

In both August 2016 and May 2017, RCI Systems found pipes full of holes, which would leak if the system was tripped. And they identified several other factors that could result in flooding on the fifth floor and damage to the library.

Those factors are already being addressed, according to a written update that city manager Zuercher presented to Mayor Greg Stanton and the Phoenix City Council on August 10.

The Rare Book Room, where the vault protected books from water damage.

Lynn Trimble

Heres whats being done so far:

The citys law, public works, and audit departments have been assigned to review the roof and fire suppression system, to help understand what happened and why.

The citys finance and law departments are working with the insurance company to address which elements of the loss insurance will cover.

The citys budget and research department is working with the library department on the costs of restoring the building and continuing library services.

Any funds needed beyond those provided by insurance will require approval by the City Council.

The city is also reviewing maintenance records for all city buildings,Zuercher says.

In the interim, Phoenix Public Library is encouraging patrons to visit its 16 additional branches. Many Burton Barr Central Library staff, books, and programs have been moved to those locations, says Lee.

The four branches located closest to Burton Barr Central Library will have Sunday hours starting September 10 to help accommodate branch patrons needing library services in the interim. Those branches are Harmon, Yucca, Ocotillo, and Century.

Details, and regular updates, will be posted on the Phoenix Public Library website.

Marcus Larson/News-Register##Duniway teacher Cyndi Havercroft and Principal Hilary Brittan-Lack help students with math problems during summer class.

Of the News-RegisterSixth- through eighth-graders were so focused on math and reading as summer school opened Monday at Duniway Middle School that they may not have noticed the paint, flooring and color scheme.

But Principal Hilary Brittan-Lack and Summer School Coordinator Christy Werst couldnt stop celebrating the improvements.

Its so cheery up here, Werst said of the hallways, where blond wood-grain tile and pale walls were set off with bold purple wainscoting.

Its such a positive feeling, Brittan-Lack added, noting the light and dark gray linen-pattern floor tiles in classrooms will hide dirt as well as be easy to clean and long-lasting.

Construction crews worked hard to complete the classrooms and hallways on Duniways second floor in time for the three-week summer school session.Theyve done a phenomenal job getting it ready, the principal said. Theyve been thoughtful about keeping noise down in the areas where educational staff is working.

Crews are still finishing installation of new composite roofing in the gyms, replacement of the cooling tower, new flooring and lighting on the main level, and application of new paint throughout.

Marcus Larson/News-Register##Workers Tom Fleshman and Tim Simpson paint Duniways halls with the color chick magnet during the summer construction project for the McMinnville School District.

Brittan-Lack said shes especially happy about the new LED lighting outside the main entrance.

Not only is it more energy efficient, it is also much brighter. That will improve safety and make it easier for people arriving for evening events to see where they are walking.

Ryan Ward, project supervisor for CBC Construction, said the work is on schedule. Crews should be finished by mid-August in time for movers to replace books and furniture now stored in other parts of the school.

Construction is also underway at a dozen other places around the district. But Duniway is the first school to put newly refurbished classrooms into use.

Projects scheduled for completion soon include Baker Field, which will reopen this month for sports practice and walking, but still needs restrooms and storage. On the other side of Mac High, workers expect to finish the new career technical center, fieldhouse and expanded cafeteria in time for the return of students in September.

Duniway is one of several schools hosting summer programs this month. About 80 students are participating, including incoming sixth-graders.

Teacher Brett Landman said his students are reviewing math facts, learning multiplication and other skills. Summer classes will make them better prepared for fall classes, he said, which will build their confidence.

MAR LIN On Monday night, the board of directors of Schuylkill County Area Vocational-Technical School took a step toward replacing the roofs of the Schuylkill Technology Center buildings in Frackville and Mar Lin.

The board devised a formula to determine how much each of the 12 school districts in Schuylkill County will put into the project thats expected to cost more than $3.1 million. The board approved a motion to send the recommendation to school boards for approval.

The plan is based on 66.667 percent of a districts market value and 33.333 percent of student enrollment budget at STC, Brian A. Manning, business manager at Schuylkill IU 29, said.

With the formula, school districts would contribute the following amounts:

Blue Mountain, $605,655.26

Mahanoy Area, $139,683.89

Minersville Area, $194,465.34

North Schuylkill, $279,929.50

Pine Grove Area, $319,583.87

Pottsville Area, $400,901.79

Saint Clair Area, $137,956.02

Schuylkill Haven Area, $218,672.81

Shenandoah Valley, $120,135.28

Tamaqua Area, $421,052.15

Tri-Valley, $178,640.47

Williams Valley, $136,986.61

Its a middle ground, Manning said.

Previously, the board members discussed a formula of 75 percent market value and 25 percent STC budget enrollment, and 50 percent market value and 50 percent STC budget enrollment.

I spoke to almost all of my board members. They are receptive to a split of 66/33. They feel they didnt want to budge from 50/50, but they do see the need, Mary Jo Moss of Blue Mountain said.

Can we move forward on this tonight? Charles Chaz Hepler of North Schuylkill asked.

What were suggesting tonight, I believe, is that this board approve a recommendation to go out to the districts, James Caravan, solicitor for the STC board, said.

If all districts agree on the formula, the STC board can seek a contractor, Manning said. If they dont, discussions about the formula will continue.

Hepler made the motion to send out the boards recommendation. It was seconded by Larry A. Wittig of Tamaqua Area and carried unanimously in a roll call vote by board members present.

The others present were board President Scott Jacoby of Schuylkill Haven Area and members Helene Creasy of Shenandoah Valley, Roger Heidlebaugh of Tri-Valley, John Mika of Williams Valley, Gretchen Ulmer of Minersville Area, Jay Hanley of Mahanoy Area, Scott Thomas of Pottsville Area and Michael Holobetz of Saint Clair Area. David Frew of Pine Grove Area was absent.

Manning estimated the cost to replace roofs at STC-North, Frackville, and STC-South, Mar Lin, to be $3,153,663 and include capital repairs. The roof replacement at STC-North is estimated at $1,690,600; roof replacement at STC-South is $818,500; HVAC upgrades at both schools $539,563; and exterior masonry repairs at STC-South to be an estimated $105,000, Manning said.

In 2015, Robert McCarthy of international roofing manufacturer The Garland Company spoke to the board about the roofs. He provided an update Monday, particularly on the roof at STC-North.

He said, The roof is beyond its useful life. One of the challenges there is it doesnt drain well. Its supposed to be sloped to drains. Its a flat roof which doesnt slope. And theres quite a bit of ponding water. Its been a challenge. If it leaks in one of those areas, which it has, we get a deluge of water into the building.

In other matters, the board decided to hire CFM Commercial HVAC Inc., Orwigsburg, for emergency replacement of the HVAC system at STC-South. It will cost $83,895 and that will come from STCs budget, Manning said.

John Nabholz, facilities director at Schuylkill IU 29, made the recommendation. The system was installed in 1989 and Nabholz anticipated it would fail in the first week of the 2017-18 school year. A new unit will take eight weeks to install, he said.

Its a 30-year-old unit. Its limping. And I know darn well its going to die the first week of school. The districts are going to hear about it from parents and its going to come back on me. And if we wait until then, then that will take another eight weeks. We need to make a decision on this as soon as possible, Nabholz said.

Instead of bidding the project, the board unanimously decided to move forward Monday to hire CFM to do the work since it was considered an emergency. The project will include switching the power source from electricity to natural gas.
