In our extreme South Florida weather, the importance of a structurally sound roof cannot be understated. One Miami Gardens roofing company is setting the standard for service and showing how important it is to cover your community.

Supreme Roofing and Construction has been owned by Deric T. Smith, a Miami Gardens native, for over 15 years. Their products and services include shingles, low slopes, rubber, tile and metal roofs; installation of windows, shutters and doors, and construction of block masonry; rebuilding and repointing chimneys, cleaning gutters, vinyl siding and attic ventilation. Serving Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, they offer in-house financing, PACE financing for climate resilient technologies and free services to clients in need.

The heart of Supreme is not a business for ourselves. Its that we love our community, Smith said. I have a love for the elderly ladies and the children in our community.Recently, Supreme fixed the roof on Pink and Blue Childrens Academy in Miami Gardens.

The roof was bad and they had babies in there, Smith said. So while the typical bill for that type of service would have been close to $23,000, his company fixed the roof free-of-charge.

Smith believes philanthropy is his responsibility as a business owner. My company motto is, we do it right because we love to sleep at night. Thats why the company regularly participates in food giveaways, donating school supplies, sponsoring local events and helping the elderly.

Supreme is also involved in charity events including an upcoming school supply drive in August, a Thanksgiving food and toy drive for homeless shelters in Miami-Dade and Broward, and a hurricane prep seminar. Theyll also provide meals at a workshop teaching the elderly how to avoid uncertified contractors and scammers. And throughout the pandemic, the company was able to donate personal protective equipment, water, and sanitizer to those in need.

A Business Administration major in college, Smith never thought he would get into roofing.

His mother, who was a roofing sales rep for a large company, was his inspiration.

His business has held strong for almost two decades and has now survived the COVID-19 pandemic. Supreme saw demand increase as people made home improvements, and now, as they prepare to brace for hurricane season, demand continues to grow.

Smith said he doesnt advertise much, he just keeps his business at the pulse of community affairs. Ninety-two percent of my business is through word of mouth, which speaks to the quality of service we provide, he said.

Offering a word of encouragement to future business owners and community members, he said, encourage kids to not only play sports, but to be in STEM. We have to educate and do things for ourselves and our communities. We need to do better for our communities.

Top Line Roof and Construction offers a 10-Year Roof Warranty and a 5-Year Labor Warranty on Construction - Digital Journal

It was at about this time last year when the derecho wind storm ravaged Perry and lay waste to a wide swathe of central Iowa.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but trees were split and power lines downed by the 90 mph winds, leaving many people without electricity for days and causing damage that is in some cases still under repair.

The Gamble Block at 1203 Second St. suffered extensive damage to its roof and southwest upper corner in the devastating derecho. Demolition of a portion of the third story preceded the restoration, which is ongoing and has closed one block of Warford Street for two months.

The derecho winds blew out the large plate-glass windows of the Harbach building at 1108 Second St., the onetime home of Woolworths department store and later Spurgeons womenswear store. The owners of the property recently announced plans to install replacement windows and siding on the Second Street storefront.

A portion of the roof was torn off the new home of TCB Corporate Wearables in the Perry Industrial Park but in the year since, the sportswear maker came back stronger with a repaired roof and a new addition to the former spec building.

Perry-area farmers suffered an estimated $9.3 million in damaged crops, but this years yield promises to be a barn buster.

The resilience of Perrys residents from householders to shopkeepers to industrialists was tested by the high winds, and we withstood the storm. Scars remain to mark the catastrophic weather event, which we pray does not become a regular feature of the altered climate of the Great Plains.

And finally, they can provide gutter replacement services for residential properties. The rain gutters are also important because these are responsible for effectively channeling the flow of rain water from the roof through the downspouts, and direct the water to the proper areas outside the home. Without the gutters, the roof can accumulate leaves and other debris, with the result that water can stagnate on the roof and overflow, possibly causing the roof to rust and rot. The gutters also prevent the water from settling around the basement and seeping into the foundation, which may weaken structural support.

Every once in a while, you find a company that does everything right and is willing to stand up and proudly make real promises. Twin Cities Siding Professionals is that kind of company. Were the kind of company that makes you feel comfortable and secure in your decision.

And weve got armfuls of awards, thousands of thrilled customers, and outstanding warranties in writing to prove it.

Were Terry & Kristen Stamman and we launched Twin Cities Siding Professionals in 1995. We decided right from the start that average standards in home improvement were too low. Too many guys with a truck and a business card call themselves a contracting business and do the bare minimum or even lousy work and say good enough.

To that we say: No.Not Us.NOT EVER.

Our customers dont want an inferior workforce. They want a great experience from beginning to end. Our customers dont want a job missing key components just to have a low price. They know only a complete and comprehensive scope of work will satisfy them. They know, at the end of the day, the only job they want done is a job done right. And they know only a company with an amazing amount of integrity can deliver that.

Typical Contractor:Rushed consultation followed by a quick quote and often high-pressure sales tactics thrown in to try to close the sale leaving you with anxiety about having made the wrong decision.

US:A relaxed, thorough conversation about your goals for your project to ascertain your wants and needs, followed by a comprehensive inspection of the project area. We return later (at your convenience) to give you a detailed recommendation and a quote you can 100% rely on knowing that you made the right decision for your family and your home.

Typical Contractor:Puts little thought into what products they install and try to sell on price alone, even if it means flimsy products and low long-term value that ends up costing you money in the future.

US:Every SINGLE product we carry has been thoroughly researched and is a PROVEN best solution on the market.

Typical Contractor:Corner cutting is justified if the homeowner wont see it or they dont think it will be a problem later. Underprice job to get the sale and then figure out how to cheapen the job to still make money on it. After all, time is money and if you need to rush to the next job

US:Experienced, proven crews with a 67 point audit they use during your entire job. The job is constantly being inspected so every part is done right not just the cosmetic finish. And our crews know that if at any point something is done wrong, they will have to start over and do it right. Period. End of story. We go the extra mile so you feel safe and secure knowing the right job is being done on your home

How Were Asbestos and Cement Sheets Used?

Asbestos cement products, including asbestos cement sheets and pipes, currently make up approximately 90% of the worlds asbestos production. The vast majority is used to make asbestos roofing. While asbestos cement sheet production in the U.S. ended in the 1980s, it remains legal to import the product from other countries.

Fibrous asbestos cement is more durable than drywall and easier to work with than concrete, and they have numerous applications in construction, including use as roofing and siding. Today in the U.S. the fibers in cement sheets are usually made of cellulose, a substance found in plants, but for nearly 80 years they were primarily made with asbestos.

These sheets were installed in homes, military bases, public buildings, industrial settings and job sites.Asbestos cement sheet was once synonymous with fibrous cement sheet, and it has also been generically called AC sheet and fibro. U.S. companies stopped manufacturing these types of asbestos products, but asbestos cement sheets are still popular building materials in developing nations such as India and China. These products are dangerous because with age and damage they become friable, or easily crumbled, making them likely to release asbestos fibers.

Asbestos products are notoriously difficult to identify visually. The best approach is to have a suspicious product tested. Workers should assume that older corrugated roofs and flatsheets are likely to contain asbestos.

American brands of asbestos cement sheets include:

Other companies that manufactured asbestos cement sheets include:

Manufacturing and working with asbestos cement sheets may lead to asbestos exposure. A 2009 study conducted in Thailand, where the use of asbestos cement sheets is common, found that roof fitting polishers endured the highest levels of asbestos exposure while working with asbestos cement sheets. Workers involved in the manufacturing of asbestos cement sheets also experienced high exposure handling bags of raw asbestos fiber.

Exposure to asbestos from cement sheets is known to cause asbestos-related diseases such as:

If you formerly worked with asbestos cement sheets you should monitor your health for signs of respiratory or gastrointestinal disease, including difficulty breathing and abdominal distension. Anyone diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease should seek the opinion of a specialist to access innovative treatments.

People at risk of exposure from asbestos sheets include:

Also learn how to choose an attorney and how to qualify for compensation. Your free guide will be shipped overnight.

Asbestos manufacturers are held liable in U.S. courts for the diseases their products cause because they were aware of the dangers and chose not to protect or warn workers and consumers. Decades of lawsuits have revealed internal company documents confirming these corporations knew they were putting employees and the public at risk.

Many former tradesmen and factory workers, including asbestos cement sheet workers, have sued manufacturing companies over occupational asbestos exposure.

In addition to personal injury lawsuits and wrongful death lawsuits, anyone harmed by asbestos products may file claims seeking settlements from asbestos trust funds founded by companies that went bankrupt. As part of their bankruptcy reorganization plans, asbestos companies had to develop trust funds for victims of asbestos exposure.

For instance, a series of corporate mergers and sales left Armstrong World Industries responsible for all the asbestos exposure caused by Keasby & Mattison, including its asbestos cement sheets. Today claimants can seek compensation from the Armstrong World Industries Asbestos Trust, which has paid out hundreds of millions of dollars in claims since 2006.

It is important to speak with a qualified mesothelioma attorney to learn about the lawsuits and trust funds your case may be eligible for. You may also qualify for other forms of compensation such as VA claims, treatment and travel grants, workers compensation and Social Security Disability Insurance.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers asbestos corrugated sheets to be a Category II, nonfriable material, which means it is dangerous and the material should be abated prior to demolition or renovation. Although designated nonfriable, the sheets can become friable with age and damage.

If the material is not damaged, it may be removed by driving the nails through the sheet or cutting off the nail or screw heads. Damaged asbestos sheets, however, are subject to much stricter regulations.

Each piece of corrugated sheet or sheathing should be removed whole and kept wet to prevent asbestos dust from getting into the air, and all materials should be disposed of according to the laws of each state. As a general rule, the agency recommends all asbestos-containing materials be abated by licensed professionals.

By the 1980s, the rising tide of personal injury lawsuits over diseases such as asbestosis and mesothelioma compelled manufacturers to finally phase out the production of asbestos cement products in the United States. However, despite the grim reputation of asbestos in developed nations, a quick online search will reveal asbestos cement sheets are still widely available for sale in other parts of the world and remain legal to import into the U.S.

In the 1950s, the National Gypsum Company added corrugated asbestos roofing to its Gold Bond line of products, cementing the building materials popularity with home builders, farmers and factory owners alike.

In 1907, Keasby & Mattison became one of the first companies to produce corrugated asbestos sheets. Workers pressed a mixture of cement, water and chrysotile asbestos between metallic plates with heavy pressure to squeeze out excess water and create a corrugated pattern, which appears as a series of parallel ridges that add strength to the cement sheets. K&M named its brand of corrugated sheets after the town of Ambler, Pennsylvania, where its factory was located.

The company promoted Ambler roofing and sidings comparative lightness, ease of application, weather and fireproof qualities, pleasing appearance and permanence. Early clients included the Draper Company in Massachusetts, the Shenango Furnace Company in Pennsylvania and the Bell Asbestos Mines in Canada. When a fire broke out in one of the Bell mills, the asbestos siding and roofing reportedly contained the blaze, backing up K&Ms claims.

Business of the Week: Elements Roofing - South Platte Sentinel

JACKSON, MI -- Franklin Street in Jackson is closing for a week in August for a Greater Jackson Habitat for Humanity, Blitz Build.

The street is closing to through traffic from Jackson to Mechanic streets while two houses are constructed starting Monday, Aug. 16. It is anticipated construction will be complete Friday, Aug. 20.

The road is being closed from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily to accommodate volunteers and equipment needed for the build, said Troy White, assistant city engineer.

The two houses are a part of a larger project to build six two-story houses adjacent to the new Jackson YMCA on the corners of W. Franklin, S. Mechanic and W. Mason streets.

The six houses will make up the DeLand Pointe neighborhood, Greater Jackson Habitat for Humanitys first neighborhood development, said Wendy Clow, executive director.

The neighborhood was named for the DeLand family, which had a homestead at the intersection and has a historical significance to the Underground Railroad, Clow said.

Volunteers will work alongside staff and contractors to raise walls and roofs, install siding and weatherize homes.

The Greater Jackson Habitat for Humanity invited sponsors, companies and volunteers from around the city to participate in the Blitz Build to raise and enclose the first two houses.

The event will kick off Monday, Aug. 16, with a First Responders Day, where Jackson Police Department, Jackson Fire Department, Michigan State Police and Henry Ford Allegiance Health staff will frame the first floors and prepare construction of the second floors.

Other participating companies during the week include CertainTeed, Gerdau and Jackson Area Association of Realtors.

We will have groups volunteers each day who will literally raise walls, we will have a big crane there to put the trusses on the roof and get the house enclosed by the time the week is up, Clow said.

Greater Jackson Habitat will use the southeast portion of the YMCAs parking lot for the event. YMCA member may use the citys parking lot across W. Wesley Avenue for free.
