Q: What does a hail hit look like on shingles?

• <div><p>A hail hit on shingles can look like a circle of white chalk where the hailstone hit and removed some of the asphalt granules. A hail hit can also look like a crack, dent, or bruise on your shingles. On wood shingles, hail can cause the wood to split and crack more than on asphalt shingles. The age and condition of the roof also play a role in how the hail damage looks on shingles. </p></div>

Q: Can a hurricane take down a house?

• <div><p>A hurricane can take down a house, but most well-built modern homes can withstand an average hurricane. Houses are more likely to fail during strong hurricanes and if they&rsquo;re older, poorly built, or already have structural problems. Strong winds can blow off weak points like the roof and windows, giving the hurricane winds an opening to do more damage. Walls may also collapse under the force of high winds and pressure.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain safety during snow season?

• <div><p>Schedule regular snow removal, apply salt or sand to icy areas, and mark hazards like curbs or drains.</p></div>

Q: Will my roof leak with missing or damaged shingles?

• <div><p>Yes, your roof will leak if you have missing or damaged shingles. Severely damaged or missing shingles are essentially holes in your roof, leading to water seeping into your attic and ceilings. The underlayment underneath your roofing is a secondary form of protection, so you should fix shingle damage and replace missing ones as quickly as possible.</p></div>

Q: Can wind damage casement windows?

• <div><p>High winds can be harmful to casement windows and all types of windows. Because casement windows can swing outward, high winds could slam the window against the side of the house, bend the hinges, or even rip the window off of the hinges. If you hear some strong gusts outside, it&rsquo;s best to pull the casement windows shut until it all blows over. </p></div>

"I was on the market for a security system and this one seemed easy enough to install.......went through the process and some of the window sensors were not working. I called Customer Support who was very friendly and we went through the entire process again...this time other window sensors did not work. This went on for a week or so...then the door senors stopped working....than the motion sensor stopped working...at no time in over a month did I have a fully operational security system. As I was about to return the system I was told they have "new" sensors and they just realized they received a bad batch and are working with another company.....Gave it a try....and same issue returned....some sensors worked....some didn't. I finally returned the system and stopped getting emails.....only to find that they were still billing my credit card even after I returned the equipment. Very nice people and very understanding.....unfortunately their product is not up to par. While we do have a large home, it's an open concept and the sensors that weren't working were no more than 15ft away from the base. The previous owners of my house had a wireless system with no issues at all.....I'm going to be using that company going forward."

"They demand 90% of the project cost before they would start the project. They started the project for my sun room project and did the excavation and left it after. They just dug the mud and didn't finish it. They were suppose to use an engineer for this project but they didn't use the engineer on this project. I did ask the project manager. They said they had a new owner and they changed the way contracts were. The sales representative didn't tell me everything and was trying to skip the paperwork and he was very dishonest. They removed my deck and tore up my patio pavers and just left the area unfinished. The whole project was a mess for charging too much money. I paid close to 2/3 of the amount they wanted which was $77,000. The engineer was supposed to be on the project but they told me we don't need him. Later on they decided they needed the engineer so they are charging me more for the engineer. They want to keep charging me more money beyond on what's in the contract. They want more money before they might start working and might charge me more while they are working on it. The amount of money I will end up paying is unpredictable and the amount of work that they're doing is what they are telling me and I don't even know if the work is going to be stable. They were already asking additional $16,000-$17,000 for the additional digging and for using the engineer. They are charging me addional $38 per foot on the digging as well."
