I celebrated Dave's birthday by treating myself to a trip to Santa Cruz for the weekend. I'm back now, but I'm having trouble adjusting to not being able to walk outside and see the ocean. Perhaps a stroll through Capitol Aquarium when I get off work will help.
Work around here somehow continued in my absence. We installed a heavy cedar shake roof on 10th Avenue in the Land Park neighborhood. This is a beautiful part of town, with so many different styles of houses side by side, and of course many different roof styles.
We also finished a tile roof in Elk Grove on Kilcolgan Way. The customer chose the very popular Ponderosa tile from Eagle.
I really am trying to get some pictures of these jobs. One of the super intendents told me today that he'd be e-mailing me some pictures so I'm maintaining hope that we'll be a colorful blog, full of photos any day now.

Happy Birthday Dave!
Today is Dave Zimmerman's birthday. Surprisingly he didn't take the day off. I'm sure he plans to do some celebrating this weekend.
He's a great guy to know and a great guy to work for. I hope he has an awesome bithday and birthday weekend.
I'll post an update on roofs we've finsihed durring these much desired sunny, or at least non-rainey days, on Tuesday.

Oceanic Way
A landlocked town, Sacramento has plenty of Ocean View, Beach Drive, and Oceanic Way type street names. Wishful thinking I guess. There is of course no Ocean view on Oceanic Way, but there is a new roof done by Zimmerman Reroofing. To be more precise, we installed a 30 year Owens Corning Pro Series composition roof in Sierra Grey.
We also completed a tile roof this week on Rio Oso Drive in Rancho Murieta (95683). The homeowner chose Eaglelite Ponderosa tile. The advantage with the light weight tiles is that an older home won't need as much structural work as it might if a standard weight tile roof were applied.

More Roofs Completed
Well the weather wasn't nearly as bad as the experts predicted. We finished some roofs and I even managed to get a bike ride in without getting soaked.
On Morris Way in the 95864 zip code we finished a cedar shake roof. Let me say again, these shake roofs are absolutely beautiful.
We finished one composition roof with Owens Corning Pro 40 year comp in Citrus Heights (95621)
and we did another comp roof in the same Owens Corning shingles in Carmichael (95608).
The composition material has come a long way in recent years and these roofs look sharp. The homeowners were pleased for sure.
We have a tile roof scheduled for early next week. We've ordered cameras for all of our superintendents, and as soon as they get here I'll have some photos for this blog.

We Got One
That old rain can't keep us down. Well, not all the way down. We did have enough of a break in the downpour to complete roofing on a house addition on South Land Park Drive in East Sacramento. We put Owen's Corning 30 year dimensional comp on the house and everything went a smoothly as can be. Hopefully we got some more breaks in the rain soon as we have no shortage of re-roofs ready to be done.

Rain, Rain, Rain
We've put Re-Roofing on hold for the week, as the weathers just been too unpredictable. We haven't had a promise of no rain for long enough to get a tear off done safely. We of couse can't have it raining indoors. I'm guessing home owners would frown on such a thing.
So, we're ready to scramble when the sun comes back out. There will be plenty of work to do then. In the meanwhile we'll all enjoy Girl Scout Cookie season but we'll try not to enjoy too many of them cookies. See you next week, hopefully with news of sunny days and much work getting done.

Roofs finished this week.
Despite the rain we had a good week. We've got houses roofed and looking good.
We finished a wood shake roof on Pimental Way in the pocket area. Wood shake is my personal favorite. I like the rustic look it gives a home.
On Spillman Ave in the 95819 zip code we installed a composition shingle roof using Owens Corning Onyx Black, which looks great.
We completed two homes using Eagle Tile, one on Besselton Place in El Dorado Hills and another on Twin River Way in the Pocket Area. Tile is very popular. Homeowners like that it is made to last a lifetime and it is a good investment as it is likely to increase the value of a home. And of course it looks awesome.
We have more rain coming, but we do all our own tear offs, trucking, and installations, so we're able to move fast and get a-lot done even when have very few dry days to work with.
I celebrated my birthday on Sunday. I had a great birthday weekend and I'm trusting the rest of the staff didn't do too bad as the office is pretty cheery despite it being a rainy Monday. I'm working on getting our super intendents to come by with their cameras so I can get some pictures of our recent roofs up so look for this blog to become more of a photoblog soon.
