ODESSA -- By now you've probably received dozens of phone calls or flyers from roofing companies following last weeks hail storm.

But do you know how to tell the difference between a legitimate company and a scammer?

CBS 7 spoke with a local roofing company to help you make the right choice.

They're known as "storm chasers" and they will say just about anything to get your business.

It came and left in just thirty minutes, but believe it or not last weeks storm caused $480-million in damage throughout the city of Odessa.

Among the laundry list of things that were destroyed were people's roofs.

"Everybody becomes a roofer in the state of Texas when there's a hail storm," said Dennis Wiebe, an adjuster with Trademark Builders in Odessa.

Wiebe has been in the business for over 20 years and has had too many cases to count of people getting scammed by so called roofing companies.

"They offer people all kinds of different things to sell a job," Wiebe said.

Things like paying your deductible, Wiebe says this is one red flag you need to be aware of.

Any reputable business will be able to provide you with a valid license and proof of insurance, as well as with an address, not a post office box.

"You should never have to give anybody money upfront, because there's people that have given the contractors money upfront and then they disappear," Wiebe explained.

The unfortunate part of falling victim to one of these storm chasing businesses is that you won't know it until about five to 7 years down the road, when the roof starts falling apart.

Wiebe says the best thing you can do is call your local BBB office to make sure the company is not a scammer looking to make a quick buck.

Beware of "Storm Chasers" posing as reputable roofing contractors - CBS7 News (press release)

MARTINEZ, Calif. Martinez City Council will face a full agenda today as it reviews and votes on the 2017-19 city budget, the list of capital projects it hopes to complete through 2022 and the adoption of an ordinance that would allow Martinez to join Marin Clean Energy, a community choice aggregation program.

The new two-year budget calls for fund totals of $58,447,640 in the combined city accounts in Fiscal Year 2017-18 and $51 million in Fiscal Year 2018-19.

The largest fund is the citys operations or General Fund, with $23,055,400 the first year and $22,843,000 the next year.

In the 2017-18 fiscal year, enterprise funds would account for a quarter of the total, with $14,339,600; capital projects account for 23 percent of the budget, or $13,255,470; special revenue funds, at 8 percent of the budget, or $4,497,070; internal service funds, at 3 percent, are expected to be $2,038,800; and debt service, 2 percent, would have $1,261,300.

The next year, enterprise funds for ongoing projects that are supposed to be self-sustaining or show a profit rises to 31 percent, or $15,872,000; special revenue funds, 10 percent, or $5,240,700; capital projects, 8 percent, or $3,875,000; internal service funds, 4 percent, or $1,884,400; and debt service, 3 percent, or $1,284,900.

City Manager Brad Kilger said employees made a few adjustments to the budget since May, modifying the dispatch supervisor salary range; adding the Ward Street Undergrounding Project, to be underwritten by a grant, to capital improvements; and changing the classification of the Water System In-Lieu Tax to that of an interfund transfer rather than tax revenue.

The budget includes approved position additions and changes, including the hiring of a community and economic development director and economic development coordinator, more human resources employees, and changing the assistant to the city manager position t o deputy director of administrative services.

Dispatcher descriptions and salary ranges were made more flexible, and other employee positions and salary rates were updated.

Other changes involve how the City Council might discuss midterm amendments.

City Engineer Tim Tucker has submitted the five-year capital improvement program (CIP). As is the citys custom, the Council allocates funding for the first two fiscal years of the program as part of its budgtet process and updates its list of projects every two years as well.

A five-year CIP enables the city to plan ahead for needed major capital projects, even when funding is not yet available, Tucker wrote in his report.

This latest edition is a mix of new construction, building rehabilitation and streets and water system projects.

The list, up for approval today, will be sent to the Contra Costa Transportation Authority to comply with the Measure J Growth Management Program so Martinez can receive some of that measures money, Tucker said.

The five-year list has been approved by both the Franchise and Infrastructure subcommittees.

Among the routine maintenance projects on the list are annual curb ramp work and sidewalk repair,.

Martinez offers optional removal and disposing of damaged sidewalks, and that fund has a balance of $5,050, Tucker said.

Also among the routine work are annual storm drain and creek channel maintenance, as well as a one-time repair projects to address damage from storms this past winter.

Pavement management repairs will be done throughout the city, in Rolling Hills, Morello Heights Drive and St. Mary Street. Design work will be started before the next fiscal years street work will be done.

A 6-8 foot wide asphalt trail spur will be built along the western side of Reliez Valley Road from Blueridge Drive to Corte Poquita and flashing radar speed signs will be installed on the northbound curve and near Sage Drive. The combined project is being underwritten by another grant.

The Ward Street undergrounding project would put utility lines underground between Main Street and Greene Street. This is needed to be done before a prospective Transportation for Livable Communities Grant Project can be started.

Realignment of Pacheco Boulevard also will be started, and grand money will be used to repair pavement on Green and Brown streets. More pavement work will be done on Escobar, Ward, Las Juntas, Alhambra and Court streets.

Examination of some streets will be made so the city can apply for grand money that would underwrite their improvements. Several bus stops also will be improved, too.

Routine storm damage repairs and debris removal also are on the list, as is replacement of a failed culvert at Linton Terrace. Air conditioning and second-story windows need to be replaced at City Hall

The John Muir Amphitheater, Historic Train Depot, Campbell Theater and Community/Cultural Center will be examined for inclusion in the 2018-19 budget, as will ways to address increased use of the citys sports fields.

Among the Measure H park bond projects are the renovation of Waterfront Park, Golden Hills anPark and Highland Park, upgraded paths and picnic areas in John Muir Park and Alhambra Park, and renovation of ballfields at either Morello Park or Hidden Lakes or both.

One of the enterprise funds capital improvement projects is replacement of deteriorating piping at the Webster Pump Station. St. Marys hydro-pneumatic system would be upgraded and an ozone generator needs replacing.

The downtown area needs a parking study, since Contra Costa County is planning to build a new administration center and parking garage, and the county will help underwrite that cost. In addition, more parking meters need to be replaced with those that read credit cards.

The citys marina area needs to be dredged. That project has been approved, although the Council needs to vote on the extent of the work and its actual budget.

The Council will vote on an ordinance that would approve the Marin Clean Energy (MCE) Joint Powers Agreement and authorize a community choice aggregation project such as MCE for Martinez.

This is the second time the Council has seen this ordinance, which was introduced successfully earlier this year. Once all the documentation is approved, residents and businesses will be switched automatically to MCE unless they choose to stay with PG&E. MCE will send five notices to power customers explaining the change and the procedures for opting out of receiving electricity from MCE.

The panel will hear reports from the Martinez Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Martinez, two community organizations with which the city contracts for promotional events; distribute Martinez Police Department certificates to those who have participated in the Community Emergency Response Team training class; recognize the winners of the 2017-19 Budget Photo Contest; and present a check to College Park Grad Night.

The Martinez City Council will meet at 7 p.m. today at Martinez City Hall, 525 Henrietta St.

Council eyes new budget, capital projects, MCE ordinance today - Martinez News-Gazette

Home window replacement and installation is stressful enough. The last thing you need to deal with is hiring an unreliable window company that overcharges and underservices. Luckily, you wont have to deal with the hassle that comes along with hiring an unreliable window replacement company if you hire All Seasons Window & Door Co.! Since we were founded in 1981, All Seasons Window & Door Co. has been one of the leading window contractors in Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas.

What makes us one of the leading home window companies in North Carolina and South Carolina? Here are a few characteristics:

At All Seasons Window & Door Co. we are committed to providing our customers with an outstanding customer experience. Our process is simple: we meet with our potential customers for an initial consultation focusing on what qualities they are looking for in their replacement windows. Then, we prepare and install your replacement windows as quickly as possible. We know window replacements are huge investments that can be a hard commitment. Thats why we have specially trained customer service representatives on call throughout the day to answer any questions or concerns and help you understand everything you need to know about replacing your windows.

Part of ensuring our customers are pleased from their initial consultation to after installation is providing them with phenomenal materials at a moderate price. Typically, people tend to shell out thousands of dollars for a quality window replacement in Charlotte, NC. But at All Seasons Window & Door Co., we believe customers shouldnt have to break the bank for quality materials and service. Thats why we offer an array of materials, such as vinyl replacement windows. One of the benefits of using vinyl replacement windows is the affordable price. Unlike other materials, such as wood, you wont have to worry about spending more than your initial budget for your window replacement. But just like common expensive window materials, vinyl has maximum durability, strength, and resilience. So instead of pushing the limits of your budget to have mediocre windows, you will have peace of mind knowing that you have affordable replacement windows that are top quality.

So, what makes our windows better than other replacement windows in Charlotte and surrounding areas? Mainly the strength of our windows and the techniques we use to install them. Its true: our replacement windows are some of the strongest in Charlotte. North Carolina is prone to inclement weather, such as hurricanes and severe thunderstorms. This means that many residents have to invest in storm windows or repair their windows often. But with our windows, you wont have to worry about any inclement weather, such as high wind speeds or heavy rainfall, as well as other external factors, interfering with the condition and quality of your replacement windows. In fact, our windows have been proven to last longer than most replacement windows in Concord NC, where there is heavy storm activity. This debunks the myth that price is equivalent to quality. Our window replacement cost is lower than most windows in Concord NC, as well as Charlotte and surrounding areas, yet you wont have to undergo another window replacement for at least twenty years.

That leads us to the technique we use for our window installations. If you have researched window replacement techniques in Matthews NC or in other parts of Charlotte, then youre most likely aware that most companies use a standard window installation technique that involves using a premade product and an easy-to-abide-by outline. Instead of using the standard window installation procedures, we customize every installation process to satisfy your needs. For example, the commercial window installations we do always require a different technique and process than our residential window installations. While this is attributed to the fact that commercial buildings and residential buildings have different requirements and outlines, it is also attributed to our commitment to satisfying everyones needs and desires. In other words, we are willing to alter our standard installation techniques to make sure that each and every one of our customers receive the windows of their dreams.

Speaking of tailoring our general window installation process to each of our customers, we demonstrate our value of specialty and uniqueness through our completely customizable window replacement options. As previously stated, we offer an array of window materials to satisfy everyones budget, design preferences, and dreams. Each of our available materials comes in different colors and textures. This allows you to obtain windows that seemingly flow with the overall design of your house, as well as your personal design aesthetic. Whether you want a completely personalized replacement window, or a standard minimalistic window, our specially trained employees can help you find the perfect materials and design features for your needs.

Between our devotion to customer service, array of customizable options, and the fact that we offer one of the most affordable window replacement costs in Charlotte NC and surrounding areas, you cant go wrong with All Seasons Window & Door, Co. The notion that we have remained one of the top window contractors in Charlotte NC for over thirty years further proves that we have well above the necessary experience and education to produce and install quality windows in Charlotte, NC and the surrounding areas. Since we have been around for a while, we have gotten the chance to turn our company into a family and become acquainted with most people in the community. In other words, the Charlotte area knows that All Seasons Window & Door, Co. isnt just about business. Instead, we are committed to providing the community with safe, durable, and affordable windows that residents can feel comfortable and confident in.

So say goodbye to the days of worrying about inclement weather completely destroying your windows, or having to shell out thousands of dollars to repair or replace your windows. Instead, contact one of our specially trained employees to help you with your North Carolina window replacement. We will make sure your windows exceed safety standards, satisfy your design preferences, and stay in the range of your budget. Overall, there isnt a window project too big or too small. Give us a call at (704) 399-4244 or fill out the form on this page to contact one of our customer service representatives and schedule a consultation today!

We hired Top Tier Home Improvement to install the LeafLock Gutter System on the front and back of our house. The look has added value to our home and they are functioning well so far. All company representatives were easy to work with, helpful and friendly. These gutters are more expensive than the typical gutters, but if you have a lot of trees/falling leaves...and you want something that is going to last, I recommend LeafLock gutters and Top Tier to install them. Thanks ya'll!

Cory's enthusiastic belief in the LeafLock gutter system and his detailed explanations sold me. Justin and Chris expertly installed the gutters and fully answered all my questions. They always let me know when they were arriving or leaving the property. Worksite cleanup was meticulous; Justin even used his leaf blower on all my concrete surfaces. The gutters upgraded the curb appeal (and maintenance-free function) of my house from mediocre to knock-your-socks off!

The gutter system (LeafLock) was completely explained to me with a demonstration using the actual parts of the gutter system itself. Installers were friendly and professional as well. They had to come back the next day as it was getting dark, which they did with no problem. While they were on the roof they even went out of their way to remove the multiple satellite dishes left by previous owners! I would highly recommend this company to anyone!!!

DENVER (CBS4) One company is helping out with replacement windows after a new law goes into effect that will allow strangers to break into a vehicle if a child or pet is in danger.

In Colorado, it is illegal to leave a child unattended in a vehicle. Come August, the state plans to implement a law which would allow bystanders to break a vehicle window if a person, dog or cat were found to be in danger inside.

(credit: CBS)

That person would not be subject to any criminal prosecution.

Mobile Glass in Colorado Springs says theyll cover the cost to replace the window in those situations.

Were trying to make everybody aware that, this is your safe zone, so you know that you can go ahead and break the window, theres no strings attached, you can contact us and we can go ahead and take care of that, said Mobile Glass spokeswoman Abby Martinez.

The offer applies to those living outside the Colorado Springs area. Mobile Glass says they have a nationwide network of glass professionals.

Glass Company To Help Replace Shattered Windows With New Law - CBS Local

Boston is overhauling its school buildings with $1 billion dedicated for the next decade to upgrade, renovate or replace the aging building stock as part of its Build BPS facilities master plan.

The 10-year plan released in March found that almost half of the districts buildings were in fair condition while more than half of the 125 schools had poor air quality.

As part of the plan, in August, the city will launch its $13 million 21st Century Schools Fund for school leaders to tap into for short-term capital investments such as technology and new furniture.

Current projects underway or planned for the next year include: a $9.8 million replacement of the roofs at the Dever and McCormack schools and the boilers at the Channing, Condon and Boston Latin and a 3,000-window replacement project over the summer at Community Academy, Curley, Ellis, McKay, Sumner, Tech Boston and Young Achievers for $29 million.

By the end of 2017, construction will be done on the new $73 million Dearborn STEM 6-12 Academy. The city broke ground on a $20 million renovation of the John Eliot K-8 Innovation Upper School on Tuesday, due to be completed by the fall of 2019, with an art studio and a robotics engineering lab overlooking the Charles River.

KEWANEE (AP) Shafts of light stream in from dozens of cracks in the roof of the historic Ryan's Round Barn, but this isn't just any barn where time and the elements are taking their toll.

It's a state, and national, treasure and one that's at the mercy of the state's budget battle.

Located in Johnson-Sauk Trail State Park off state Route 78 between Annawan and Kewanee, the barn was built in 1910 by Dr. Laurence Ryan, a Henry County native who became chief surgeon at St. Anthony Hospital in Chicago.

At 61 feet tall and 74 feet in diameter, it's the largest round barn in Illinois. Its interior has three-and-a-half levels and a central silo, four gambrel dormers spaced evenly around the edge, and a cupola at the top. Ryan wanted a place in Henry County to be a retreat for his family. He built the barn for a "new" breed of cattle he had heard about in Scotland: Black Angus.

Ryan died in 1932, and an Annawan banker sold his farm to the state in 1968. The barn was among a number of buildings the state had slated for demolition until the Friends of Johnson Park came together to preserve it.

In 1974, the barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Ten years later, it was re-roofed with original-style wooden shingles. After more than 30 years later, the barn roof needs work again.

Three years ago, estimates put the cost of the roof at $201,000 to $245,000, depending on whether asphalt or wooden shingles were used.The type of shingles needed "depends on who you talk to," said Steve Christian, president of Friends of Johnson Park Foundation.

"I love barns and I love history," said Christian, now retired.

Christian said that when state candidates campaigned in 2014, the group was told Illinois didn't have funds for the roof work. A lack of a state budget in 2015 brought the re-roofing effort to a halt, a story that's much the same today as legislators languish in a budget deadlock in Springfield.

The barn's interior is basically sound, although the siding holds moisture from the leaking roof and has started to deteriorate. The leaks also have caused some rotting in the hay mow in the loft.

"It creates havoc with everything that's underneath it or everything that touches it," he said.

Christian's group explains to visitors that the barn is not a multi-side structure appearing to be round. Instead, the structure was made with 16-foot lengths of pine soaked in water and bent to shape. Even large interior beams are bent, with five one-inch boards laminated together to form the beams.

As for why the barn is round, Christian said that while it was more expensive to build, the barn was labor-saving in the long run. One man with a pitchfork could feed 50 cattle with little movement. However, the advent of tractors and evolving farm machinery eventually made round barns obsolete, he said.

"You can't bring a tractor in and turn it around," he says.

While the barn may not attract crowds as large as the Lincoln Library in Springfield, Christian said the landmark "holds its own." More than 1,000 visitors go through the barn tours each year.

"We draw a pretty good size crowd here, and we have people from all over the world," he said. On June 3, that crowd included visitors from California and Puerto Rico.

The barn also could use new paint. A 2004 estimate put the cost of that at $3,200, a price that's only gone up since then. The Friends have set aside money from tour fees to repaint the barn this summer, but they worry even that project might not happen. They still need approval from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and haven't gotten it yet, even more bad news for the barn.

Landmarks Illinois, a preservation non-profit group, this year named the barn as one of 10 endangered historic entities in the state. While the friends group tackles smaller barn projects, such as repairing metal flashing at dormer windows, the roof work is beyond their abilities, or their pocketbook.

"We can handle window replacement," Christian said. "But at a $2 donation, we cannot come up with a quarter-million dollars to put a roof on.

"Our hands are tied," he said. "We can't do anything until we get a budget."

The Window Replacement Project, managed by the Fairfield Ludlowe High School Building Committee, has determined that PCB containing paint exists at this facility. This paint has been encapsulated by years of repainting of the schools interior. Environmental testing has determined that there are no air quality issues or health risks posed by the encapsulated paint.

The Fairfield Ludlowe High School Building Committee, Fairfield Health Department, CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and the US Environmental Protection Agency are working closely with the Town of Fairfield and its environmental consultants to determine details of the abatement plan for these areas as part of the work of the Fairfield Ludlowe High School Building Committee. Work on the Window Replacement Project is not affected by the encapsulated paint.

To accommodate community interest in this issue, a public forum is planned on Tuesday, July 11, at 7 p.m., in the 2nd Floor Board Room, 501 Kings Highway East, Fairfield. Experts from the Fairfield Health Department and the projects environmental consulting firm will be on hand to answer questions.
