Hail. Snow. Wind. Fire. Tree limbs. You may love life in Colorado, but it can be hell on a roof.

"We're getting weary of using the word 'unprecedented,' " said Carole Walker, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association.

A single, late-September hailstorm this year created home and auto claims worth at least $213.3 million. That's not a record-setter: The title of most damaging storm belongs to a July 20, 2009, hail storm, which cost $767.6 million in claims, according to the association's figures. But for some companies, 2014 has been their biggest claim year because there were multiple storms, Walker said.

When a storm hits town, so can scammers, Walker notes, along with out-of-town roofers who may be perfectly legit, but also less experienced with the challenges roofs face here. They also won't be in town when the roof is five years old.

But it's also true that local, reputable roofers can get booked up. While Walker hasn't seen a backlog in 2014, it has happened.

Whatever the reason for a new roof, the process of getting it replaced can seem overwhelming. Here's a guide to getting it done, compiled from information produced by the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association, the Better Business Bureau; the Colorado Attorney General's office; the National Roofing Contractors' Association and the Colorado Roofing Association.

1. Get the basics, avoid the scams

First: If an unsolicited salesperson shows up, don't allow them into your home or on your roof. Request that they leave you printed information and make an appointment so that you can check them out first. (If you truly suspect they're scammers, try to record their vehicle's license-plate number.)

Second: If they offer a deal on your deductible or put any kind of pressure on you to decide or sign anything, say "no" and mean it. You can download and print a card that says "No Roofing Solicitors!" at the Colorado Roofing Association website, coloradoroofing.org.

While there is no statewide licensure or registration for roofers, as contractors, they must be licensed by, and pull a permit from, each city or county where they perform work.

Making Window Repair Easy by Using Technology

Years ago, people used the Yellow Pages to locate vendors of local services. This was especially true in the window business, in which people do not always think about window or glass repair until the last minute. Often, it takes a broken window, a vandalism incident, or even an employee accident, before a business owner or residential customer will think to him or herself, where can I find Miami's best window repair service? Nowadays, people do not turn to the Yellow Pages, but instead turn to the Internet, particularly Google search, and increasingly to local review sites such as Google+ or Yelp. Express Glass has a commitment to making it easier than ever for people in today's busy society to not only locate top-rated glass repair services, but also discover whether or not they enjoy positive reviews from other customers. By engaging the Google+ network, Express Glass is making it possible for potential customers to not only locate a window repair service easily, but also to learn about reviews, and to read informative posts about home or commercial repair issues. In this way, a busy customer can learn as much (or as little) as he or she wants about window repair, and quickly find (and evaluate) potential service partners.

Top-rated Miami Window Repair Service, Express Glass Announces Local Review Milestone of 21,000 Views

The owner of a southeastern Wisconsin startup company thinks the building system he has developed could transform the construction industry.

Theres nothing out there like this, said Jim Jendusa, president of Lightweight Structures LLC. This could take off.

Lightweight Structures workers assemble a FORTECO composite frame for the Good Harvest Market store that is being built in Waukesha.

Workers pour concrete on a FORTECO frame at a job site.

Insulation decking is installed between the frames. Rebar is run through the frames. Then concrete is poured over the frames. Lightweight Structures takes the completed wall and floor pieces to the job site and installs them. Once installed, the frames are ready for drywall and the steel pieces come with pre-punched holes for wiring.

The system has numerous advantages, Jendusa said. It is more energy efficient and offers better soundproofing than wood frame construction. It costs considerably less than precast concrete construction.

Our price point is quite a bit less than what is out there in the market, Jendusa said.

Assembly of the frames requires little labor and the system can be installed quickly, both resulting in major cost savings, Jendusa said.

The labor to put this together is very reasonable, he said. Its not that complicated.

The system could be particularly in demand for big box retail construction and high rise construction of commercial and residential buildings, Jendusa said. The reduced costs of the system, improved energy efficiency and better soundproofing make the system a strong fit for high-rise construction and could provide costs savings that help more high-rise buildings get built, he said.
