Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Sacramento is pretty when it's thoroughly soaked. I almost feel like I live in Portland or Seattle this last week, traversing puddles and clutching my umbrella as I make my way to work. Will it be a wet Christmas? I hope it's a Merry one. Thanks for supporting Zimmerman roofing for another year Sacramento. See ya in 2008!

I hear the rain...

Holiday shopping is in full bloom as is Holiday traffic. Figure in the rain and you might, hopefullly realize that it's time to use extra caution on the road. Give yourself some extra time to break and remember it's better to get there a little late than not at all.

Now that I'm done lecturing you (with good intentions and utter sincerity) here's our list of where you can see our roofers in action this week.

Thankful

My family is loud.
I can't complain, I'm one of the loudest members, but when we get the whole clan together for a few hours it can be overwhelming.
Add enough food to feed an army, even before the desserts make their appearance, and Thanksgiving becomes a day that really requires three additional days off to recover before I'm ready to return to work.
It was a great time, and here I am having survived the skateboarding nephews, the two many chefs in the kitchen and the Uncle that has to try and squeeze a year's worth of catching up into one too brief visit before racing back to his home in Las Vegas.
Or did I dream it all?
Either way, the roofing continues. Here's where you can find Team Zimmerman doing what they do best:

FALL is here

Halloween is past and we're almost to Thanksgiving. It's that time a year when the office starts filling up with sweets. I make my resolutions and break them before New Years Eve. I resolve not to have cookies for breakfast, candy for lunch and cake for dinner.

This may be the prettiest time of the year for downtown. My advice; get in as many walks as you can while the fall leaves are making a beautiful mess of everything.

Here's an impressive list of reroofs as people rush to get it done before the rain sets in.

Fall

Fall comes in and I just don't want to be indoors. Let me out to enjoy the cooling air, still warm enough that my jacket ends up hanging on my arm, coffee tastes better than at any other time and so it here it is, Thursday and I'm just now getting around to this week's blogging. So far this week I've jumped at every excuse to be out in the yard, helping a customer find tile, loading up samples, anything to stay out from under the flourescents. Ah well, here it is then, at long last, the list of jobs for this week...

A Welcome Rain

Riding my bike to work in the rain yesterday was a treat. Sure, the first rain of the season is always nice, exciting, full of nostalgia, but we had such a mild winter last year that it was especially great to get some of the rain we missed last time around. I hope it keeps coming.
And speaking of rain, lets get to our weekly list of roofs that we're installing about town, keeping the raindrops from falling on your head.

On The Road Again

It's great to be back home. I didn't get a chance to blog last week but I have an excellent excuse. Monday was a holiday and I spent Thursday and Friday driving up to Seattle for The Seattle Sketchfest. Three days of sketch comedy and a beautiful drive to boot. The pacific northwest really is a beautiful place.

Now then, here I am, back in the saddle and here's a list of where you can go to see some reroofs in progress.

Air Conditioning in One Room

I dealt with yesterdays 105 degree weather by hiding in my bedroom with the air conditioning on. It's the only room in my apartment with a/c.

A movie, some snacks that didn't involve cooking and plenty of water had me feeling alright. Two days in a row of it would be a bit much, so I think today I will have to be brave and weed my garden, way overdo, regardless of the heat.

If I start feeling sorry for myself, I can just be glad I'm not up on a roof.
And speaking of roofs, here's some that our guys are doing at the moment. Remember, you can scroll down to find jobs that we've recently finished.

Food is Good!

Last weekend I stumbled across the Buddhist Food Bazarre at the Buddhist Temple on Riverside Blvd. What a great event. Fantastic food, taiko drumming, arts and crafts. I had some sushi and tempura and spent too much money on bonzai trees that I hope I can keep alive. Next time I'll try to let you know in advance about this fun time.

Heat Wave! What Heat Wave?

Here we sit, under the clouds with a cool wind blowing, long sleeve shirts and even sweaters being pulled from the back of the closet, and the rest of the country is baking in the worst heat wave so far this summer. Make the most of it Sacramento, the summer sun will notice us breathin' easy over hear and then, watch out!

For now, we're getting some roofing done. Catch us in action at any of these sites, and scroll down to see the older lists where you can see finished roofs.

The Best Walk In Town?

Pictured here is an "in progress" shot of a particularly steep roof, quite difficult but; wow, what a good looking house.

Speaking of gorgeous houses, I think the walk down T Street, from 20th to 22nd is my current favorite, especialy at 6:30 am.

The sun is just up, the canopy of trees over the street that our town is famous for is in full effect and the houses are beautiful. The best feature is the little bit of a hill, one of the only hills in our very flat downtown.

Moving on, here are some houses made more beautiful by the addition of new roofs.
As always you can scroll down to find completed roofs.

Do that rain dance...

Some rain would sure be nice after such a dry winter. Just to have one day, sitting inside, drinking tea, reading a good book would be nice. I hear tail of a few drops hitting the sidewalk this morning but I did not experience it personally. I did see the clouds gathering overhead and I remain hopefull that a nice summer rain is on the way. Get dancing.

Keep On Roofing

You'll be noticing the Decra Roofing logo is starting to appear on our site. Decra makes stone coated metal roofing products. I haven't been a big fan of steel roofs in the past, but the decra roofs look great. They could pass for tile to most observers. Expect to see a metal roof category added to the Tile, Shake and Comp you see listed on this blog each week.
And speaking of that list, here it is. Use this list or scroll down and use past lists to find Zimmerman Re-Roofing in your neighborhood.

And we're back to the heatwave. Last year we set the record for the most consecutive days in the triple digits. Let's hope we don't go breakin' that record this year. It's a good time to think about buying a boat. Our crews keep getting roofs done while drinking plenty of water and working in the early hours when its a bit cooler. I don't envy them at all.

Sacramento Folk

Sacramento has a folk scene? I checked out the Sac Music Award's folk showcase on Saturday night and was treated to a great night of music at Marilyns on K Street. All of the bands were great and Marilyns is a nice small venue with a full bar and a good soundsytem. Good times.

And now Monday is here and I'm not sad to be back at work so long as the air conditioning holds out. Our roofers were lined up to fill their water coolers this morning. Staying hydrated in this weather is a must. Here's your list of houses we're currently working on.

Jazz Jubillee?

My fiance and I made our way to the bike trail and passed through the Sacramento Jazz Jubillee to get there. We heard some Zydeco, some blues, some watered down rock and roll but no Jazz? We had a great ride, the American River bike trail really is one of Sacramento's greatest treasures.
On the way home, we once again went through the "Jazz" festival. It was three hours since we'd passed originally. Still no Jazz. I used to go the jubillee every year with my dad, and I didn't mind a little blues and whatever else here and there, but I worry that the Jubillee, in trying to court a new generation of fans is losing it's focus. What's next? Are they going to invite the living members of the Grateful Dead to curate next years event? Ah well, at least nobody is tearing up the bike trail to put in a parking lot.

Fun with the tourists

A couple of out of town friends wanted to see Old Sacramento this weekend. My fiance and I were reluctant to play guide. We live here, we don't go to the tourist traps. But, being good friends, we gave in and we went to old Sacramento... and had a great time!

We had a drink on the top deck of The Delta King, watching the river flow by, shopped for tackiness and kitsch at Evangeline's and then took a nice stroll by the river. Ha, call me a tourist.

Afterwards we made a quick trip to Crepeville on 18th and L Street before sending our guests back to their suburban lair. I'm glad it turned out to be such a pleasant time, but I'm not rushing out to sign up for a tour of The Capitol Building anytime soon. Though the free Sundays at Crocker Art Museum lures us in regularly.

Here are roofs that our crews are currently working on. Scroll down more for finished roofs.

Happy Day After Mother's Day

I hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day. We couldnt' have asked for better weather for it, which has me wondering, do we have one more storm coming before the warm weather grabs on and doesn't let go? I hope so. This winter was TOO mild. Not enough soup and sweater weather for me. But of course it's great to see outdoor concerts come back, to sit outside and have lunch at Tower Cafe and there's a bike trail out there that's beggin' me to go for a longer ride. Of course we find time to get some roofs done too. Here's some we're workin' on now.

Free Roof Give Away in progress

We succeeded in giving away a free roof. We found someone who desperately needed a new roof but didn't have the funds to replace theirs and we've started installation of a new composition roof. Thanks to Owens Corning for donating the comp shingles. As we complete the roof I'll be sure to get pictures up here.
It's nice to be able to contribute to our community this way, after all Sacramento has supported our business for 26 years now.
Here are some other roofs we're currently working on. Go on out and see our worksmanship for yourself. (Scroll down for more roofs.)

Winter's back (and forth)

The ups and downs of Sacramento weather is worthy of Yo-Yo King, Tommy Smothers' tricks as it teases us with summer one day and stormy winter weather the next. Personally, I love it. It's like a weather variety pack and you never have time to get tired of the rain or the sun before it changes up again. And through it all, we keep on roofing.
Here's a list of houses we're working on, so feel free to have a look and see our guys in action. Scroll down for past lists to see now competed homes, and enjoy the rain/sun/wind/heat/cold.

Spring Break

This is the time of year when we can all be thankful that Sacramento is not a Spring Break destination. I once ended up in Cancun Mexico durring Spring Break. When I saw the crowds and craziness and amateur drunkeness I quickly headed the other direction. I had a great time in Belize where it was nice and quiet and ever since then I'm pretty happy about Sacramento NOT being a Spring Break party town.
And, while we're here not doing things we'll surely regret we keep on putting up them roofs. Here's some we're working on now. Scroll down further to find recently completed jobs.

An Hour Less Sleep

I hope the time change didn't make too many of you late for work this morning. I had a wonderful walk through midtown just as the sun came up. It was worth losing an hour of sleep over the weekend.

Roofing the Night Away

Not able to get to the coast but needing to get away from it all, even if just for a day or two my sweetheart and I decided to take a quick trip to Auburn over the weekend. We stayed at The Powers Mansion Inn and ate at The Monkey Cat restaurant. I'm happy to say that I can highly reccommend both. While we were in town there was an antiques show at the fairgrounds and we walked around Old Auburn which is a perfectly entertaining way to spend an afternoon.
But, now the weekend is past and I'm back to work. Here are four places to check out our composition roofing skills this week.

A Roofin' We Will Go

The old world just keeps on spinning and while we say goodbye and adjust to the absences in our daily lives here we keep roofing the houses and taking care of the customers.
Here is the current list of houses we're working on. It's been an especially mild winter so far, but I did hear a surprising forecast this morning, SNOW! Here in Sacramento. I have experienced snow downtown, once. It was almost a decade ago and it was minimal. That would be something to see.
