DELAWARE TWP. - Roofing nails were discovered yesterday sprinkled across a residents driveway that police sometimes use when clocking traffic speeds on Route 519.

About 40 nails were spotted by a contractor inspecting the driveway at noon in order to draft a paving estimate, said police.

Several neighbors in the area had complained about speeders on the county road, which has a 40 mph limit in that area.

Patrolman Mark Kobner said today that the homeowner, who lives west of Rosemont near the cemetery, allows police to pull into his driveway to monitor speeds.

The homeowner is quiet as a church mouse and doesnt bother anybody, Kobner added.

There hasn't been any roofing work done at the home.

Kobner said that the residents werent imagining the speed problem and that some drivers exceed the limit by 20 mph.

Patrolman Elliot Gray is investigating the criminal mischief.

LOWELL -- The roofing and siding company from New York that performed work at Westminster Village has been penalized by the state for operating without a valid workers-compensation policy in place.

In late December, the state Department of Industrial Accidents issued a "Stop Work Order" to the roofing and siding contractor after officials determined the company did not have a valid workers' compensation policy for work at the complex on Pawtucket Boulevard.

Since then, the state has fined Upstate Roofing and Siding of Monroe, N.Y., $700 and has debarred the company from bidding or participating on any public contracts in the state for the next three years, said Greg Freed, a spokesman for the state Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development.

"If a company fails to carry workers' compensation insurance coverage and injuries occur, injured workers are left to fend for themselves," said Philip Hillman, the director of the Department of Industrial Accidents. "Workers' compensation insurance pays for necessary medical treatment and offsets lost wages associated with injuries or illnesses incurred on the job."

The company was permitted to resume work after providing proof of workers' compensation insurance and paying the fine, Freed said.

Also in late December, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued an "Imminent Danger" notice to Upstate Roofing and Siding.

Inspectors from OSHA's Andover office observed

OSHA's inspection of the site is continuing, said OSHA spokesman Edmund Fitzgerald.

Upstate Roofing and Siding's office was closed yesterday and a voicemail left was not returned.

Prior to the roofing problems, electrical contractors closed up walls after doing wiring work in about 100 units and before calling for city electrical inspections of the work.

The owner of a Texas roofing company faces 17 felony theft charges in Westmoreland County for allegedly failing to pay a supplier for materials and leaving property owners facing liens.

Steven Kyle Hunt, 36, of 109 Spring Creek Drive, Waxahachie, Texas, was charged this week in Hempfield District Judge Mark Mansour's office with 17 counts of theft by failure to make required disposition of funds received.

In court papers, county Detectives William Brown and Frank Galilei allege Hunt and his company, Prime Roofing Systems, received $64,534.62 in payments for materials from 17 property owners but failed to pay ABC Supply Inc. for the shingles and other supplies that were delivered to each residence.

The detectives began investigating Hunt and Prime Roofing in January after they were contacted by some of the property owners who had found mechanics' liens had been filed against their properties in county court.

The liens, filed by Wisconsin-based ABC Supply, alleged that Prime Roofing failed to pay for materials provided at the 17 job sites. The unpaid bills range from $2,184.71 to $10,974.65, according to court papers. Eleven of the properties are in Hempfield, two are in Greensburg, and one each is in South Greensburg, North Huntingdon, Scottdale and Unity.

Prime Roofing was one of many contractors who arrived in Westmoreland County last March after a tornado and hailstorm ripped through the area.

Brown and Galilei allege that Hunt, who also is known as Kyle Hunt, was listed as the contact person for Prime Roofing when the company registered to do business in Pennsylvania after the tornado. In at least one case, a homeowner was told to write a check for payment for labor and materials directly to "Kyle Hunt" because he needed to pay his workers, according to court papers.

The detectives allege that Hunt cashed the check by using his Texas driver's license at a bank in Pennsylvania. They said he identified himself as the owner of Prime Roofing on several occasions while doing business, including obtaining and returning materials, to an ABC Supply location in North Huntingdon.

Brown said on Friday that police in Texas were provided the arrest warrant for Hunt, and detectives are waiting for a response. Brown said Hunt will be extradited to Westmoreland County once he is in custody.

Brown said the state Attorney General's office plans to pursue civil litigation against Prime Roofing.

Affordable Quality Roofing is giving us a reason to celebrate this month. A new showroom floor is being unveiled in North Vancouver on Friday March 30, 2012, and they have decided to share the occasion by welcoming trade professionals to join them for an evening of finger foods and talking shop.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) March 09, 2012

The event is certainly worthy of some excitement. Vancouver is well known for it's wet temperate climate, making it one of the most beautiful places in the world to live. This same climate can wreak havoc on our roofs however. The roofing industry has gone through many changes over the years as a result. Manufacturers are constantly introducing new products, or refining on existing ones, promising to provide the perfect solution.

It's nice to have choices, but unless you're keeping up to date, it can be a little daunting to choose the right material for your new roof. The new showroom from Affordable Quality Roofing promises to smooth out the whole process. Not only will they have many materials on display for you to look at, but their trained and experienced staff will be on hand to answer any questions you might have.

The opening night celebration is open to professional trades people, architects, and developers from the Vancouver area by RSVP.

Affordable Quality Roofing's New Showroom Celebration To Be Shared With Area Professionals

(PRWEB) March 08, 2012

According to the Farmers Almanac, this could be one of the worst storm seasons North Texas has seen in quite some time. It is imperative for home owners to do their homework and research the roofing companies they are considering using. One of the best ways to look at a companys consumer track record is to look them up on the BBB. Look for complaints and how well they were handled.We found Smart Design Roofing through word of mouth advertising, but after hearing such great reviews it was no wonder they had an excellent rating on the BBB. Companies that are not listed on the BBB, generally are not listed for a reason, and companies that have a large amount of complaint history on the BBB should be avoided as well.

In years past, when we have been destroyed by severe hail storms, many of our North Texas Citizens fell prey to out of state roofing companies and scam artist. That is why choosing the correct roofing company to take care of you, your home and your pocket book, is so important.

Now our customers have the option to add traditional solar panels or seamlessly integrate solar into their roof, and we can even match your specific tile colors if you have a tile roof, said Brian Hicks, CEO of Chandlers Roofing, Inc. OneRoof Energys SolarSelect Lease makes it easy and affordable for our customers.

Homeowner after homeowner told us their stories.

They say Bill Bowen with Green Life Exteriors promised them new roofs and never delivered... either not completing the work or not doing any work at all.

One told us, "I still need a roof. I got nothing."

Another said, "I think they all need to be in jail. These people... they need to be stopped."

After our Call for Action stories authorities charged Bowen.

He took off, but they eventually tracked him down in York County, South Carolina.

Then after facing numerous charges of theft, Bowen made a deal with the El Paso County D.A.'s office. We're told he pled guilty to four felony theft charges of stealing from at-risk adults.

His sentence is 15 years of supervised probation and paying $500,000 in restitution. I'm told compensation is what his victims want the most.

The D.A.'s office tells me if Bowen fails to pay back his victims he faces prison time of 4 to 24 years for each count.

Bowen's formal sentencing is set for April 23rd. We'll let you know what happens.
