Quakertown, PA (PRWEB) January 14, 2014

Jurin Roofing Services, headquartered in Quakertown, PA, spent January 7th and 8th certifying and re-certifying their employees in the CERTA (Certified Roofing Torch Applicator) program. The purpose of the CERTA program is to provide roofing professionals with the necessary safety training to enhance professionalism and reduce personal injuries and property losses caused by the use of roofing torches.

CERTA delivers these requirements through a certification program where authorized trainers deliver effective behavior-based training to roofing workers. Eric W. Jurin, CEO of Jurin Roofing Services is a certified CERTA trainer and conducted the training at their Quakertown training facility. Eric Jurin has been a CERTA trainer since 2005 and a certified torch applicator since 2007. He has also performed safety training on behalf of the NRCA for their Fall Protection class in February 2010 in New Orleans at the NRCA convention titled Roofing Industry Fall Protection A-Z.

Janice Davis, Manager of NRCAs University and Risk Management has worked with Eric Jurin since 2005. Eric Jurins years of roofing experience make him an excellent CERTA trainer. His ability to apply his years of field knowledge to the CERTA training materials allows him to not only present the information but to ensure understanding of real world application.

In 1986, the Midwest Roofing Contractors Association (MRCA) in conjunction with industry organizations, the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, and the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers developed a program to train roofing workers in the safe application of torch-applied roof systems. In 2003, insurance industry representatives approached the NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association) to address concerns about increasing incidents and losses occurring from roofing workers' torching activities. The need for focused safety training addressing torching activities became apparent. NRCA arranged with MRCA to adopt and revise the CERTA program.

The current CERTA program provides the best practices and newest industry requirements for torching activities. There is no comparable training program available in the roofing industry.

Low-Flow Shower Heads

A low-flow showerhead can save lots of money on utility bills. But not all such heads are made equal, so theres something to be said for sacrificing thequalityof your shower for thequantityof your savings. One showerhead that earns solid reviews is theEvolve Roadrunner II(from $39.95 with about $13 s&h, a low by $12). This showerhead allows you to warm up the shower, then cuts the flow to a trickle once the water hits 95 degrees. Then, you pull a cord on the showerhead to resume the normal flow of water, thus saving on hot water costs.

Payback Time:Evolve claims its showerhead will pay for itself in two months time, and estimates an annual utility savings of about $250. Of course, how much you save depends on your water use, utility rates, and whether you sing "Happy Birthday" in the shower or "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Plastic Window Wrap

Taping up your windows isn't kind of home accoutrement that will win you any awards from Architectural Digest, but some people swear by plastic window wrap as a way to keep energy costs down by keeping the cold out. It's a simple fix, too: by putting plastic film over a window (and this works best for older windows), you cut down on the heat loss through the pane. This does nothing to control heat loss through a low-quality frame, though.

A plan to build a four-story office building on Vallejo's waterfront that hit a stone wall of resistance in mid-2012 is back -- with its developer eying new digs.

Waterfront developer Joe Callahan pitched a plan two years ago to build a split 106-space parking garage and office building at Maine Street and Mare Island Way, with designs to compete in a bidding war for a Veterans Administration federal lease.

The Vallejo City Council subsequently voted down the needed city zoning plan changes in August 2012, accompanied by acrimonious public outcry over the proposal.

On Wednesday night, the city Beautification and Design Review Board will get its first look at the project -- now eyeing a site two blocks closer to downtown and current home of the Vallejo Housing Authority building, at Georgia and Santa Clara streets.

This week's meeting will be a study session only, city Senior Planner Michelle Hightower said. City officials want to give the newly constituted board a chance to discuss the project without the pressure of a decision. Any recommendtion would occur at the earliest at the panel's Feb. 13 board meeting, Hightower said.

If this modified project were to move forward, the building now occupied by the Vallejo Housing Authority would be demolished, with that city division relocated to the nearby John F. Kennedy Library, according to a city Planning Division staff report.

In an October interview with the Times-Herald, Callahan said the city's years of legal conflicts with its downtown developer, Triad Downtown Vallejo, had hindered his efforts to move forward, but that he was gearing up for whenever the dispute was resolved.

Triad was suing for alleged breach of contract after the city severed ties with the company in mid-2009. Tonight, the Vallejo City Council will consider approving a settlement with the firm.

With January's seating of a new City Council, Callahan could also be facing a more sympathetic voting majority. Two recently departed council members, Marti Brown and Stephanie Gomes, were fierce opponents of Callahan's during the developer's initial waterfront planning stages -- dating back to 2004, to the point of litigation and a subsequent settlement agreement more two years later.

Callahan did not immediately return a call to his office for comment Monday afternoon.

Proposed Vallejo four-story office space and parking lot design under review

MIAMI, FL (PRWEB) January 14, 2014

A roof overhead is the most basic shelter requirement, says Chris Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, which installs quality patio covers, sunrooms and screen pool enclosures in South Florida.

It helps explain why insulated patio roofs generated more business for us among homeowners in Hollywood, Fla., in 2013 than did any other home expansion option, Noe said.

A roof goes up quickly and shelters its users from two basic elements rain and the suns heat, Noe said. Just those two capabilities expand the functionality of a patio or deck. The shade will keep sunlight off the side of a house, reducing heat buildup and cooling bills. It will increase outdoor relaxation, including at dinner time, when outdoor dining and cooking are no longer slaves to heat or rain.

And the shelter from rain can extend the time outdoors that children and their parents can enjoy, especially during the season of frequent afternoon showers.

Insulated aluminum roof panels can carry electricity for ceiling fans, Noe noted. That means the roof goes beyond passive temperature reduction by creating a breeze artificially when nature doesnt provide one, and at a lower cost than air conditioning for an enclosed room, he said. Cables are inside the panels, invisible to people enjoying the outdoor space.

Patio roofs lend themselves to conversion, Noe added. Most screen patio covers have an insulated roof, which means part of the job is already done if a homeowner decides later to enclose the patio with screen to keep out bugs, birds and other pests, or with windows to create a sunroom, Noe said. We custom design every structure we build, and we can plan and engineer for these eventualities.

Patio roofs are usable virtually year-round in the South Florida climate, Noe said.

Venetian installs Florida rooms, screen patio covers, patio roofs and screen pool domes in all South Florida communities, including not just Hollywood, but also West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, Davie, Weston, Homestead, the Keys, and the Biscayne Boulevard corridor and Coconut Grove in Miami.

Detailed, written estimates are free. No-cost at-home consultations include curbside access to the Venetian mobile showroom.
