Power Roofing NYC Shares Winter Roof Prep Checklist to Help New Yorkers Avoid Costly Roof Repair

Brooklyn-based roofer serving all five boroughs explains what to check on flat, shingle and tile roofs before the first freeze

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Sept. 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Power Roofing NYC (https://powerroofingnyc.com/), a licensed roof repair and roof replacement contractor that works in all five boroughs, has put out a winter roof prep checklist for New York homeowners and building owners. The checklist is short and free, and it comes straight from crews who have repaired, replaced or installed more than 2,300 roofs across the city since 2010.

So why does winter do so much damage to roofs in this city? Mostly it comes down to the freeze-and-thaw cycle. On a mild afternoon, melt water finds a hairline crack. By 3 a.m. it has frozen and pushed that crack open a bit wider. The city goes through that cycle 40, maybe 50 times a winter, and the crack that would have been a small October fix is a wet ceiling by February.

“Every year we get the same calls, and almost every one of them was preventable,” said Mike Gini, owner of Power Roofing NYC. “Somebody noticed a small stain on the ceiling in the fall and figured it could wait. Then a nor’easter comes through, the snow sits on the roof for a week, and now there’s a bucket in the living room. I’d rather spend an hour on your roof in September than a whole day on it in January with ice everywhere.”

THE WINTER ROOF PREP CHECKLIST

Here is what the company tells its own customers to do before the first hard freeze, which usually lands in the five boroughs somewhere between late November and mid-December. None of it is complicated. Most of it just gets done too late.

Get a roof inspection while it’s still mild out. Lifted shingles, open seams, sealant that gave up two summers ago. You can’t see any of that from the sidewalk. A roofer can, in about an hour.
Clean out the gutters, downspouts, scuppers and roof drains. Nobody enjoys this one. It is still the single most common reason crews get called out for ice dams on pitched roofs and ponding on flat ones.
Knock out the small roof repair items now. A cracked piece of chimney flashing or a loose vent boot is a cheap fall fix. The same problem after it has leaked through the plaster is not.
Flat roofs (and that’s most of Brooklyn and Queens): water still sitting there 48 hours after rain is a warning. So are blisters in the membrane and seams that have pulled apart. Older modified bitumen and EPDM roofs on rowhouses love to split at the seams in cold weather, which is exactly when flat roof repair calls pile up.
Shingle roofs: curling, cracked or missing shingles, and grit collecting in the gutters. Bare spots let ice slide right under the shingles.
Tile roofs: look for tiles that have cracked, chipped or slipped out of line. One bad tile lets water underneath, the water freezes, and the tile beside it goes next.
Go up in the attic with a flashlight. Daylight coming through? Damp insulation? Frost on the nail tips? Those point to the real cause of ice dams, which is poor ventilation and thin insulation. Not the snow.
Cut back any tree limbs hanging over the roof, because a branch loaded with wet snow will find its way down in every big storm.
Save an emergency roof repair number in your phone before you need one. Power Roofing NYC answers (718) 600-1133 around the clock for storm damage, active leaks and emergency tarping.

WHEN A REPAIR IS NOT ENOUGH

Some roofs should not get patched again. A shingle roof past 20 years. A flat roof that has been coated and patched three or four times already. Soft spots all over the place during an inspection. In those cases, Gini says, a full roof replacement in the fall almost always costs less over five years than chasing leaks all winter. There is a practical reason too. Shingles and membranes do not bond well below about 40 degrees, so a fall install simply comes out better than a January one.

“People search roofer near me at 11 o’clock at night when water is coming through the light fixture, and that’s the worst possible time to pick a contractor,” Gini said. “You end up with whoever answers the phone. Get to know a licensed local roofer now, get a free estimate, and you’ll know exactly who to call when something happens. Our customers get the same crew from the estimate to the warranty follow-up, and that matters more than people think.”

Power Roofing NYC is licensed by the New York City Department of Buildings (LIC #2122433), fully insured, GAF-certified and BBB accredited with an A+ rating. Estimates are free and there are no hidden fees. Crews are out seven days a week, from 7 in the morning until 11 at night.

Novak Doors and Gates Expands Same-Day Electric and Automatic Gate Repair Across Los Angeles, from West LA and Hollywood to the San Fernando Valley and Pasadena

Licensed Los Angeles gate company adds coastal-corrosion repair, hillside operator service and condo intercom support for West LA, Hollywood, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Venice, Sherman Oaks, Tarzana and Pasadena properties

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 11, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Novak Doors and Gates, a licensed and insured electric gate repair and installation company serving Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, today announced expanded same-day electric and automatic gate repair coverage across the city, with dedicated crews for West Los Angeles and Hollywood alongside its established service in Santa Monica, Brentwood, Venice, Sherman Oaks, Tarzana and Pasadena.

Image caption: Novak Doors and Gates logo.

“Gates fail differently in every part of Los Angeles,” said Aviv Ifrah, owner of Novak Doors and Gates. “On the Westside, salt air reaches hinges and bottom rails on iron driveway gates first. In Hollywood and the Hills it is steep driveways where swing gate operators fight gravity every cycle. In the Valley it is summer heat cooking control boards inside metal housings, and in Pasadena it is older estate gates that were automated decades after they were built. Our trucks are stocked for the neighborhood they are heading to, not for a generic gate.”

The expansion covers electric gate repair in Los Angeles for residential and commercial properties, automatic gate repair for sliding and swing systems, gate opener and motor service for LiftMaster, DoorKing, FAAC, Viking, All-O-Matic and Mighty Mule operators, intercom and keypad entry systems including DoorBird and DoorKing, and on-site welding for wrought iron, wood and combination gates.

Typical repairs fall inside the ranges the company publishes for Los Angeles: remote and keypad fixes from $100 to $300, sensor problems $150 to $350, control boards $500 to $2,000 and motor replacement $1,000 to $5,000 depending on the opener model and brand, the size of the gate and the complexity of the installation, with every job quoted in writing before work starts. Novak Doors and Gates holds a 5.0 rating across 184 customer reviews and offers same-day appointments across Los Angeles, with emergency priority for gates stuck open or closed.

ADU Builder in Tampa Bay: Craftline Remodeling Brings Architects, Engineers, and Designers In-House as New Florida Law Drives Demand

As Florida's SB 184 opens accessory dwelling units across Tampa and St. Petersburg, Craftline Remodeling keeps design, architecture, engineering, permitting, and construction on one accountable team - with transparent, fixed-price proposals and on-schedule delivery

TAMPA, Fla., July 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Homeowners searching for an ADU builder in Tampa or St. Petersburg have a new reason to act and a full-service option in Craftline Remodeling, a licensed Florida design-build contractor (CBC1269114) that handles accessory dwelling units and garage conversions entirely in-house.

Image caption: A detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) built by Craftline Remodeling.

Under Florida Senate Bill 184, which amended Florida Statute 163.31771 effective July 1, 2025, local governments are now required to allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on single-family residential lots, with additional legislation (SB 48) under consideration in the 2026 session. The change has made backyard cottages, attached suites, and garage conversions attainable for thousands of Tampa Bay homeowners.

WHAT SETS CRAFTLINE APART FOR ADU PROJECTS:

In-house architect, engineer, and designer. Craftline keeps design, architecture, and engineering on one team — no subcontracted handoffs so the permit-ready drawings reflect a buildable, code-compliant, compatible design.
One accountable team, concept to certificate of occupancy. Design, material sourcing, permitting, and construction are managed under one roof.
Transparent, fixed-price proposals. Homeowners receive a clear, detailed project proposal with no hidden costs. On-schedule delivery. Projects are managed to clear timelines.
Local permitting expertise. Craftline handles zoning review, setbacks, lot-eligibility verification, and utility connections for St. Petersburg, the City of Tampa, and Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties including St. Petersburg’s architectural-compatibility standard.
Licensed and proven. A fully licensed and insured Florida certified building contractor (CBC1269114) with 100 plus verified five-star Google reviews and membership in NKBA, NARI Tampa Bay, NAHB, and TBBA.

WHY THE IN-HOUSE MODEL MATTERS NOW

St. Petersburg runs one of the region’s most ADU-friendly programs the majority of single-family lots qualify, with ADUs generally allowed up to about 800 square feet but requires each ADU to be architecturally compatible with the main home. The City of Tampa allows ADUs up to roughly 950 square feet in eligible zones, and Hillsborough County permits them under the state framework. Meeting those standards is far more reliable when architecture, engineering, and construction sit on the same team than when a homeowner coordinates separate vendors.

“An ADU comes down to whether the design that gets drawn is the design that actually gets approved and built,” said the team at Craftline Remodeling. “Because our architect, engineer, and designer work in-house alongside our permitting and construction teams, we give homeowners a fixed-price proposal, a clear timeline, and one team accountable from the first concept to the final inspection.”

Craftline builds detached ADUs, attached suites, and garage conversions across St. Petersburg, Seminole, Seminole Heights, South Tampa, Carrollwood, Clearwater, and Wesley Chapel. Homeowners can verify their parcel’s eligibility with their city or county and request a complimentary ADU design consultation at https://craftlineremodeling.com/adu-builder-tampa-bay/.

ABOUT CRAFTLINE REMODELING

Craftline Remodeling is a design-build remodeling contractor serving the Tampa Bay region, specializing in kitchen, bathroom, whole-home, and ADU/garage-conversion projects. Licensed as a Florida certified building contractor (CBC1269114), the company brings design, architecture, engineering, material sourcing, permitting, and construction in-house for homeowners across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties, with locations in South Tampa (306 E Tyler St) and St. Petersburg (5741 9th Ave N, Suite 101).

Virginia’s Leader in Lightning Protection Supports National Lightning Safety Awareness Campaign and Commemorates International Lightning Safety Day Locally

RICHMOND, Va., June 26, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Loehr Lightning Protection Co. (LLP), Virginia’s leader in lightning protection system consultation and installation, is endorsing two important lightning safety initiatives. LLP, a woman-owned Virginia contracting firm founded in 1947, is supporting the National Lightning Safety Council’s 26th-year anniversary of National Lightning Safety Awareness Week and aligning itself with the South Asian Lightning Network (SALNet) and its experts at Aegisflash in Houston, Texas to commemorate International Lightning Safety Day (ILSD), June 28, 2026.

Image caption: While lightning-sparked fires claim lives and destroy homes and structures in every region of the U.S., most property owners are unaware that these fires can be prevented. Lightning protection systems that comply with national safety standards can fortify homes and buildings against this leading weather threat.

“Lightning is the weather threat that affects most people in most parts of our state and the U.S., and it’s also a leading fire threat,” said Milicent Loehr Lynch, vice president and co-owner at LLP. She continued stating that, “A lightning strike can pack over 300 million volts of power—massive electricity that can ignite a devastating home or structural fire in seconds.”

“The National Lightning Safety Council’s Awareness Week campaign at the official start of summer is a perfect time to remind property owners about a common, very destructive, yet little understood fire risk,” added Lynch, who is also an LPI-Certified Journeyman, LPS installer and a member of the Lightning Protection Institute’s Ethics Committee. “Partnering with LPS industry professionals and sharing NLSC, NFPA and ILSD resources, are just a few of the ways we’re helping to build lightning safe communities.”

“International Lightning Safety Day began in 2020 as an initiative to commemorate a lightning tragedy that occurred in Uganda on June 28, 2011,” said Dr. Shriram Sharma (PhD), principal at Aegisflash and chairman of SALNet, which began the ILSD initiative to raise awareness about the dangers of lightning and the importance of safety measures. In his work with SALNet, Dr. Shriram has partnered with a host of dedicated professionals, including researchers, engineers, risk mitigation practitioners and advocates who share a common goal: saving lives and protecting critical infrastructure from the deadly and destructive lightning hazard.

While safety standard-compliant lightning protection systems (LPS) can provide a safe and effective grounding network to protect structures from the lightning threat, most property owners aren’t aware of their availability. According to experts at the Lightning Protection Institute, the NFPA 780 Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems is recognized as the most comprehensive resource for reducing lightning risks at U.S. properties. The NFPA regularly reviews LPS methods and materials through its code process to make sure that lightning protection methods and materials are standardized and keep pace with our ever-changing building technology.

While commercial, industrial, governmental, municipal, educational and healthcare facilities routinely specify NFPA 780 LPS technology as a risk mitigation measure, homeowners are increasingly relying on LPS to fortify and protect their properties against the destructive and sometimes deadly lightning threat.

“Lightning strikes that occur in the darkness of night can be especially difficult to recognize and detect,” said Lynch. “Even in the light of day, lightning fires aren’t always visible in their initial stages and it’s not unusual for these blazes to originate in enclosed spaces like the attic, basement or electrical panels.”

“Every year, lightning continues to claim lives and damage valuable infrastructure around the world,” said Dr. Sharma. “Thankfully, we possess the science, technology, standards, and expertise needed to significantly reduce these losses to prevent tragedies like the June 2011 Uganda event. The challenge is not whether solutions exist, it is whether we choose to implement them,” he explained.

It is Dr. Sharma’s hope that International Lightning Safety Day will continue to grow as a “globally recognized platform that inspires action, promotes best practices, and ultimately saves lives.”

Inquiries about specific lightning concerns, the annual Lightning Safety Awareness Week campaign, and International Lightning Safety Day can be addressed to NLSC members via contacts here: http://www.lightningsafetycouncil.com/LSC-About.html.

ABOUT LOEHR LIGHTNING PROTECTION CO.:

Since 1947, Loehr Lightning Protection Co. has served as Virginia’s leader in lightning protection system design, installation and consultation to protect lives, property and assets from lightning’s deadly and destructive force. A family-owned, women-owned and operated SWaM business, it is LLP’s priority to continue its reputation as “A Striking Difference” in the lightning protection industry for many years to come.

As West Coast Architect Fees Soar, Sierra Log and Timber Disrupts Custom Home Market with $950 Flat-Rate 3D Drafting Solution

CHICO, Calif., June 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With West Coast architectural fees climbing to historic highs, standard residential design services are rapidly becoming cost-prohibitive for middle-class homebuilders. In a direct bid to dismantle this financial bottleneck, California-based manufacturer Sierra Log and Timber today announced the rollout of a flat-rate $950 custom 3D architectural drafting program available across its digital footprint at loghomefloorplans.shop.

Image caption: Model ADU1200/1670. A Red Cedar 6×10 timber design using the Smart Build Bonus System for the roof system enabling a 470 sq ft bonus room area. 1200 sq ft footprint with a 470 sq ft bonus loft = 1670 sq ft.

Traditionally, custom home planning requires a major upfront financial gamble. Standard regional architecture firms routinely charge between 8% to 15% of total projected construction costs—or demand $5,000 to $15,000 upfront – just to produce initial concept layout sketches. This financial barrier has left thousands of Western property owners locked out of the market, paralyzed by high interest rates and the fear of the unknown before they can even secure accurate local builder estimates.

“The traditional home design process is fundamentally broken for today’s economy,” said Larry Trimboli, founder of Sierra Log and Timber. “Homeowners shouldn’t have to risk $10,000 of their savings just to see if a house layout will fit their land or their budget. By utilizing our direct-from-the-mill digital drafting system, we are absorbing that upfront financial risk for our clients. For $950, we give them a hyper-realistic, code-viable 3D model that acts as their financial shield against construction cost inflation.”

Sierra Log and Timber’s new programmatic release completely rewrites the pre-construction timeline. For a flat fee of $950, property owners can submit their custom home ideas, site parameters, or raw sketches to an in-house drafting team. The company then develops a complete, fully customized 3D architectural study set from scratch, tailored perfectly to the client’s specific acreage or suburban parcel.

Crucially, these custom 3D design sets give buyers the exact asset they need to break the market freeze: total cost certainty. Instead of guessing at material and trade costs, clients can take their finished 3D study sets directly to local general contractors, subcontractors, and construction lenders to secure guaranteed, itemized bids before committing to a major long-term loan.

The flat-rate custom 3D design program is optimized specifically for the company’s core Western footprint, covering California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, and Montana. The program applies seamlessly across Sierra Log & Timber’s extensive engineering categories, including its premium solid Red Cedar log packages, modern heavy-timber frames, barndominiums, and the newly launched ADU 750 fee-exempt secondary dwelling series.

To ensure complete design flexibility, the flat rate includes full architectural revisions of windows, doors, interior partition walls, and rooflines to match local county zoning, snow load, and wind engineering requirements.

Property owners looking to bypass traditional architectural markups and lock down real pre-construction numbers can claim a custom 3D drafting slot directly at: https://loghomefloorplans.shop/.

Fahe Launches National Digital Campaign to Attract Donors and Investors to Housing Can’t Wait

Campaign targets philanthropic advisors, wealth advisors, funders, and impact investors with a clear case for housing investment across Appalachia

BEREA, Ky., May 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Fahe, a regional nonprofit network and Community Development Financial Institution dedicated to building thriving communities across Appalachia, today announced the launch of a digital advertising campaign introducing Housing Can’t Wait® to donors, investors, philanthropic advisors, donor-advised fund professionals, and private wealth advisors seeking measurable, place-based impact.

Image caption: Fahe unites people, organizations, and resources to build homes, strengthen communities, and create a thriving Appalachia.

Running in May and June, the campaign is designed to increase awareness of Fahe’s role as a trusted Appalachian housing network and financial intermediary capable of moving capital into community-led housing solutions.

Across Appalachia, housing shortages are constraining workforce stability, family wellbeing, and long-term economic growth. Communities are ready to build and rehabilitate more homes, but many need aligned capital, flexible funding, and trusted local implementation partners to move solutions forward.

Housing Can’t Wait connects urgent housing needs with investment-ready strategies to accelerate production and strengthen communities across Appalachia.

“Housing is economic infrastructure,” said Jim King, CEO of Fahe. “For donors and investors looking for durable impact, Appalachia offers a powerful opportunity. Fahe and our Member network have the local relationships, financial tools, and execution capacity to help turn philanthropic and investment capital into measurable housing and community outcomes.”

The national campaign will focus on two priority audiences. The first includes current and prospective funders already aligned with housing, community development, rural resilience, poverty reduction, workforce stability, and economic opportunity. The second includes philanthropic advisors, private wealth advisors, donor-advised fund teams, family office advisors, and impact investing professionals who help high-net-worth households determine where charitable and mission-aligned capital can do meaningful work.

The campaign’s message is direct: Appalachia has housing solutions ready to scale, and Fahe has the network, CDFI capacity, and local Member reach to help deploy capital where it can make a lasting difference.

Digital placements will drive audiences to the Housing Can’t Wait Funder/Investor Resource Center, where donors, funders, and investors can learn more about the housing challenge, Fahe’s regional strategy, and opportunities to support community-led solutions.

The campaign builds on Fahe’s broader Housing Can’t Wait initiative, a regional performance challenge to build or preserve 60,000 homes and impact one million people across Appalachia by 2030.

“Housing Can’t Wait helps donors and investors understand why housing is economic infrastructure in Appalachia,” said Fahe President Sara Morgan. “It connects the case for investment with real examples of community-led solutions, a regional network ready to move capital into implementation, and Fahe’s CDFI and intermediary capacity. For partners looking for measurable rural impact, this is a practical pathway to engage.”

With this national campaign, Fahe is expanding visibility for Housing Can’t Wait among philanthropic and investment audiences positioned to help close rural housing gaps and strengthen Appalachian communities.

ABOUT FAHE:

Fahe unites people, organizations, and resources to build homes, strengthen communities, and create a thriving Appalachia. Since 1980, Fahe and its Members have invested nearly $5 billion, improving life for more than one million people through housing and community development.

KR WPC Launches ASA/PVC Co-Extruded WPC Line for High-Performance Outdoor Applications

Designed for commercial decks, cladding, and fencing in harsh climates, KR WPC's ASA/PVC co-extruded composites pair UV-and weather-resistant ASA capstock with a dimensionally stable PVC core - addressing the performance gaps that humble conventional WPC in demanding outdoor environments

XUANCHENG, China, May 4, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As demand for durable, low-maintenance outdoor materials intensifies across commercial and residential construction, KR New Materials Co., Ltd. (KR WPC) is expanding its product portfolio with a new line of ASA/PVC co-extruded wood-plastic composite (WPC) solutions. The new range targets architects, landscape designers, contractors, and international distributors seeking outdoor materials that combine long-term weather resistance, structural stability, and minimal upkeep – without compromising on aesthetics.

Image caption: ASA/PVC co-extruded WPC decking installation – high-resolution outdoor shot.

Conventional WPC, while superior to natural timber in moisture and decay resistance, still carries a vulnerability rooted in its composition: wood fiber near the surface can absorb water over time, triggering microcracking, swelling, and gradual surface degradation in high-exposure installations. KR WPC’s ASA/PVC co-extruded approach addresses this at the structural level.

A Smarter Layered Architecture

Co-extrusion fuses two or more material layers during manufacturing – not glued on after the fact. In KR WPC’s new system, an ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) capstock forms the exposed outer surface, while a PVC-based core provides dimensional stability and moisture resistance underneath.

ASA is widely used in exterior plastic applications precisely because it resists UV degradation and weathering more effectively than many alternative thermoplastics – properties that make it a preferred material for window profiles, exterior cladding, and other high-exposure building components. When used as a cap layer in WPC, ASA absorbs the environmental stress that would otherwise act directly on the wood-polymer interior.

PVC, as the structural core, brings low moisture uptake and strong dimensional behavior – reducing the risk of warping, swelling, or gap formation over seasonal cycles. The result is a board that performs in fundamentally different conditions than standard single-body WPC: less surface fatigue, fewer maintenance interventions, and better retention of color and texture over time.

Weather Resistance in Practice

Outdoor weathering is rarely dramatic – it accumulates. Repeated UV exposure dulls surfaces; wet-dry cycles stress microstructures; grime bakes in rather than washing off. These processes don’t produce immediate failure, but they shorten the functional lifespan of lesser materials and drive-up cleaning and repair costs.

KR WPC’s ASA/PVC co-extruded boards are engineered to slow this trajectory. The ASA cap acts as a barrier layer, reducing water ingress into the core and limiting UV exposure to the wood-polymer interior. Field and laboratory evaluation work referenced in the broader exterior plastics sector supports the principle that a properly specified cap layer helps keep composite cores drier and less prone to surface weathering – a consideration that becomes particularly relevant in high-humidity climates, coastal installations, and commercial settings where downtime for maintenance is costly.

Durability and Maintenance Realities

“Low maintenance” claims in the outdoor materials space require scrutiny. The more accurate promise with co-extruded WPC is this: owners avoid the seasonal staining, sealing, and surface restoration cycles associated with natural timber. Day-to-day care is limited to sweeping and periodic washing with mild cleaners – provided spills are addressed within a reasonable window rather than left to set.

ASA capstock is positioned in the market as a hard-wearing exterior surface, and product data published by manufacturers of ASA-capped systems includes abrasion and hardness metrics that support durability claims in commercial use cases. For rooftop bars, pool surrounds, restaurant terraces, and public walkways – environments where surface failure becomes a maintenance line item – these characteristics carry direct operational significance.

Design Flexibility for Coordinated Projects

With the performance layer handled, design flexibility becomes a practical advantage. KR WPC’s co-extruded WPC is available across a broad color range, with embossed wood-grain, brushed, and smoother architectural textures. Importantly, the company supports color and texture matching across its decking, cladding, and fencing lines – a capability that matters for projects where multiple outdoor surfaces need to read as a cohesive system rather than a collection of unrelated materials.

Physical samples, technical documentation, and customization options – including color, texture, size, packaging, and branding – are available through KR WPC’s B2B sales and specification support process.

Commercial Procurement Discipline

KR WPC notes that customers specifying ASA/PVC co-extruded products should request cross-section verification, material breakdown documentation (capstock resin and core resin specifications), and third-party test reports as part of the submittal process. This aligns with broader industry practice of treating documentation readiness as a procurement requirement, particularly for international projects where material specifications are scrutinized at multiple stages.

TSS USA Now Offers CommScope Uniprise System Warranties on Commercial Cabling Projects in Tampa Bay

Pinellas Park low-voltage contractor can now offer CommScope-backed system warranties on commercial structured cabling installations

PINELLAS PARK, Fla., April 20, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — TSS USA, a licensed low-voltage contractor based in Pinellas Park, Florida, announced that members of its installation team have completed CommScope’s Authorized Connectivity Training (ACT) and earned Uniprise Certified Installer credentials. The certifications qualify TSS USA to install CommScope Uniprise structured cabling systems and issue manufacturer-backed warranties on completed commercial projects throughout the Tampa Bay area.

Image caption: TSS USA.

CommScope’s ACT program trains technicians on Uniprise copper and fiber installation against ANSI/TIA cabling standards. Completing the program requires coursework in termination, transmission fundamentals, and field certification of installed cabling systems. Technicians who pass are registered in CommScope’s qualified installer database, and their employer can then back projects with a Uniprise system warranty covering the full horizontal infrastructure.

WHAT A UNIPRISE SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERS

Most cabling warranties cover components only. A Uniprise system warranty covers the finished installation as one documented unit, including patch panels, cable runs, outlets, and all interconnects, for up to 20 years. Issuing that warranty requires both spec-compliant product and a CommScope-registered technician on the job.

“Having certified installers on staff means TSS USA can offer a warranty option most area contractors are not qualified to provide,” said Jonathan Flanagan, Service Manager at TSS USA. “The warranty is backed by CommScope directly. Our customers in healthcare, property management, and office construction are the ones who benefit from that.”

TSS USA installs structured cabling (https://tssusa.net/structured-cabling/) in commercial buildings across Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and surrounding areas in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Manatee, and Sarasota counties.

ABOUT TSS USA

Hann Builders and Collaborative Design Group Showcase the Ivanhoe Modern Home on the 2026 Houston Modern Home Tour

A Houston builder, architect, and interior designer reveal how a 20-year partnership and shared commitment to craft produced one of the tour's most distinctive residences

HOUSTON, Texas, March 24, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Hann Builders and Collaborative Design Group Architecture and Interiors will open the doors of the Ivanhoe Modern Home, located in Houston’s Afton Oaks neighborhood, on March 28 as part of the 2026 Houston Modern Home Tour, a self-guided showcase of five of the city’s most compelling contemporary residences.

Photo caption: The Ivanhoe Modern Home in Houston’s Afton Oaks neighborhood. Photography by Felix Sanchez.

TWENTY YEARS OF BUILDING TOGETHER

The partnership between Hann Builders and Collaborative Design Group stretches back more than two decades. Their first project together was a 15,000-square-foot residence in Sugar Land. Since then, Hann and Bufalini have collaborated on homes across Houston’s most sought-after neighborhoods, developing a shorthand that lets each bring out the best in the other’s work. When Olivia Bufalini stepped into leadership at CDG in 2023, she brought a new generation of design thinking to a partnership already built on trust.

“Stephen is a builder with a project manager’s mindset. He is focused on what happens between now and completion, down to the smallest detail,” said Mark Bufalini, a fellow of the American Institute of Architects and the American Society of Interior Designers, and principal of Collaborative Design Group. “When you have that level of trust, you can push the design further because you know the execution will match.”

A DESIGN SHAPED BY THREE DISCIPLINES

Extreme drainage requirements and on-site detention created engineering challenges before construction could begin. Hann’s team resolved the permitting and site work long before the first wall went up, clearing the path for the design to unfold without compromise.

From the street, the Ivanhoe Modern Home reads as warm and contemporary. The exterior features steel siding imprinted with high-resolution wood grain, a solution the team chose after years of watching traditional wood siding deteriorate in Houston’s climate. The result reads as white oak with the resilience of metal. Inside, a real wood statement ceiling carries the same tone, with Hann matching the indoor stain to the exterior siding for a seamless connection between outside and in.

“Every home teaches you something new,” said Stephen Hann, founder of Hann Builders. “On this one, it was finding a way to give the homeowners the warmth of real wood on the exterior without the maintenance issues Houston’s climate creates. The steel siding with a wood-grain imprint was the answer, and matching the interior wood ceiling to that tone tied the whole design together.”

The first floor is organized as a single, flowing entertaining environment. An open plan connects the family and dining areas to a glass-enclosed wine room, an elliptical bar designed by Collaborative Design Group, and a fully integrated golf simulator. Expansive sliding glass doors along the rear elevation dissolve the boundary between the interior and the pool and landscaped yard beyond.

Olivia Bufalini led the interior design around how the family actually lives.

“The interiors were thoughtfully conceived with family living at the forefront, beginning with finishes chosen for their durability, ease of care, and timeless appeal. A serene palette of soft hues, clean modern lines, and layers of warm wood create a home that feels both elevated and effortlessly livable,” said Olivia Bufalini, COO and Design Director of Collaborative Design Group. “This design language carries seamlessly into the furnishings, where comfort meets intention, resulting in spaces that are inviting, refined, and designed to be enjoyed by every member of the family.”

LIVING IN THE DETAILS

The primary suite features a dual-entry bath with separate his-and-her zones, each with its own water closet and dressing closet, sharing shower access. Five additional ensuite bedrooms accommodate immediate and extended family. A secondary staircase leads to an exercise room and a private retreat overlooking the two-story garage through interior glazing, where a specialty car sits on a raised lift. A dedicated playroom completes the upper level.

The main staircase serves as a sculptural focal point that expresses itself both inside and out. A dramatic two-sided fireplace anchors the two-story family room and foyer, while an upper-level circulation gallery visually connects the home’s private spaces.

Coastal Windows & Exteriors Completes Fifth ‘Roof for Heroes’ Donation for Marine Veteran in Middleborough

Local contractor installs full GAF roofing system at no cost for veteran Lenny Szrlong as part of community initiative

MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass., March 20, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Coastal Windows & Exteriors (CWE) of Beverly today announced the installation of a complete GAF roofing system installation at no cost for Marine Corps veteran Lenny Szrlong at his Middleborough home. This marks the 5th Roof for Heroes donation since the program launched in 2020.

Photo caption: Stephanie Vanderbilt and Marine veteran Lenny Szrlong at the Middleborough home during the Roof for Heroes installation.

Szrlong, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran residing in Middleborough, Mass., was selected for this donation through Coastal Windows & Exteriors’ Roof for Heroes program. The initiative reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to serve those who have served our nation.

“This initiative holds dear to our hearts and mission as a company,” says Stephanie Vanderbilt, Owner of Coastal Windows & Exteriors. “Providing shelter means making a promise — a promise of protection and security. Donating a free GAF roofing system is a great way to keep that promise, as its layers of high-quality protection work together to keep the home and the people inside safe from the elements.”

The energy-efficient roofing installation features America’s #1 shingle brand, offering multi-layered defense against weather damage. The winter roof replacement helped provide leak prevention, guard against moisture penetration, minimize attic heat buildup, and prevent ice dam formation during harsh New England winters. This winter, the Farmers’ Almanac forecast a “Chill, Snow, Repeat” pattern, reinforcing the importance of a durable roofing system to protect homes from heavy snow, ice dams, and freezing temperatures common across New England.

Szrlong expressed his gratitude for the life-changing donation. “I’d like to thank Coastal Windows & Exteriors for this incredible opportunity,” said Szrlong. “As a Marine Corps veteran, and lifelong Massachusetts resident, it warms my heart that there are companies like this who help local veterans through real action and tangible results. Most contractors I’ve dealt with didn’t know their product, and only wanted a sale. Theo, and the rest of the team at Coastal proved they were different. And for that I am grateful!”

Roof for Heroes addresses an incredibly important need for veterans across the region. Many service members face financial hardship after their military service, making major home repairs impossible without assistance. A failing roof can lead to structural damage, health hazards from mold and moisture, and significant energy loss. Poor roofing performance accounts for up to 25% of a home’s total energy loss.

A properly installed roofing system from Coastal Windows & Exteriors regulates attic temperatures and maintains consistent heating in New England homes. The timing of this donation is critical, as electricity rates have increased 31% since 2021. Over the past year alone, National Grid rates increased 13% and natural gas rates jumped 27%. With a cold winter bringing higher energy bills, a high-performance roof delivers both immediate comfort and long-term savings for veteran families.

“Thank you so much for supporting our amazing Veterans. GAF is proud to support Coastal in this Roof for Heroes event,” said Lisa Kingsley, GAF New England Regional Sales Director.

“Reaching our 5th Roof for Heroes donation is a meaningful achievement for our team,” says Vanderbilt. “Each veteran we help represents a life changed and a family protected. We’re honored to continue this mission and look forward to supporting more veterans in the years ahead.”

“We can’t thank Coastal Windows & Exteriors enough for honoring those who served with a free roof…there is no better feeling than helping veterans in need. The town and veterans applaud your company for its compassion and commitment to helping veterans!” said Stephen Adelman, Chief Warrant Officer 2 (Retired), Veterans Service Officer, Town of Middleborough. “This is wonderful what you are doing, and the Veterans Office and Town can’t thank you enough for what you are doing for Lenny.”

“The town of Middleborough is grateful to Coastal Windows & Exteriors to provide this roof for Lenny, a deserving Vietnam veteran and Middleborough resident,” said Jay McGrail, Town Manager, Middleborough.

“I am so impressed that Coastal offers these free roofs for our veterans and I’m thrilled that they chose to replace one for Lenny, a Marine Veteran here in Middleborough,” said State Representative Norman Orrall (Precincts 2, 4 & 5).

“Our veterans deserve to feel safe and secure in their own homes. The Roof for Heroes program is a meaningful example of a community honoring service with action. By providing a new roof for Marine veteran Lenny Szrlong, Coastal Windows & Exteriors is making a real difference, and I’m proud to join Middleborough in recognizing Lenny’s service and sacrifice. Thanks for all you do!” said State Senator Kelly Dooner (3rd Bristol & Plymouth District).

CWE earned the Minuteman Service Award in 2022 for outstanding dedication and leadership supporting active-duty American military personnel and veterans. As an SBA award recipient for exceptional community service, the company’s commitment extends beyond the Roof for Heroes donations, offering a $750 additional discount on top of any current promotion for all military personnel, plus up to 20 years of financing based on credit approval.

“You protect our country, we protect your home,” Vanderbilt adds. “That’s the foundation of our Roof for Heroes program. We believe actions speak louder than words, and this is our way of demonstrating gratitude to the men and women who have sacrificed for our freedom.”

ViewTech Borescopes Brings VJ-4 Video Borescope to the Welding Industry at 2026 Inspection Expo and Conference

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., Jan. 30, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ViewTech Borescopes will return as an exhibitor at the annual Inspection Expo & Conference, the premier event dedicated to the welding inspection community. The event brings together leading welding inspectors, engineers, and industry professionals for two days of education, networking, and hands-on technology demonstrations.

Image caption: ViewTech Borescopes brings welding visual inspection solutions to Inspection Expo and Conference.

ViewTech’s expansive lineup of NDT visual inspection borescopes includes advanced dual– and triple-camera models, designed to help welders and inspectors quickly identify internal weld defects. With multiple camera angles, the VJ-3 and VJ-4 video borescopes provide comprehensive internal views that are difficult or impossible to achieve with the human eye.

The Inspection Expo & Conference will take place February 3–4 in Austin, Texas, at the Renaissance Austin Hotel, and is hosted by the American Welding Society (AWS) in partnership with the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). ViewTech will be exhibiting at Booth #505, where Sales Consultant Joel Greene will demonstrate the company’s latest video borescope technology throughout the event.

In addition, ViewTech invites attendees who are considering the purchase or replacement of a remote visual inspection borescope to take advantage of the company’s no-cost, no-obligation demo program. This onsite trial opportunity allows technicians, engineers, owners, and operators to evaluate the VJ-3 or VJ-4 video borescope firsthand—using their own equipment at their own facility—to ensure the solution meets their inspection needs.

Seattle Design-Build Firm ‘Elite Remodeling Seattle’ Rebrands to Distinguish 18-Year Local Legacy from Unaffiliated National Chains

Independent firm clarifies it is NOT affiliated with 'Elite Remodeling' franchises in Maryland or Texas; reinforces King County commitment with 2026 transparency guide

SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 26, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Elite Remodeling Seattle (https://eliteremodelingseattle.com/), formerly Elite Remodeling LLC, a design-build construction and renovation company serving the Greater Seattle area for nearly two decades, today announced a strategic rebrand and the release of a new consumer protection resource. This measure aims to prevent identity confusion between the independent, locally owned business and unrelated companies operating under similar names in other states.

Image caption: Elite Remodeling Seattle.

With the rise of national lead-generation sites and similar business names, local homeowners increasingly struggle to distinguish between verified local contractors and national franchises. By officially adopting the “Seattle” suffix, the company explicitly separates its 18-year track record from other entities using the “Elite Remodeling” name in Maryland, Texas, and elsewhere.

“We are getting calls and seeing confusion from homeowners who think we are part of a national franchise or related to companies with different standards in other states,” says Sergiu Ursuleac, Founder of Elite Remodeling Seattle. “We want to set the record straight: We are 100% independent. We live here, we build here, and we are accountable only to our neighbors in the Pacific Northwest.”

PROOF OF LOCAL EXPERTISE: THE 2026 TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVE To further differentiate its deep local roots from national chains, the company has released the “Hidden Costs of Remodeling in Seattle” guide. Unlike generic online estimates, this resource details the specific financial realities of building in King County.

The guide, available at https://eliteremodelingseattle.com/hidden-costs-of-remodeling-in-seattle/, addresses specific local challenges including:

Side Sewer Responsibility: Navigating Seattle’s unique laws where homeowners are responsible for sewer lines to the main—a critical issue in older neighborhoods like Wallingford.
Steep Slope Logistics: The real cost of staging construction projects on the hills of Queen Anne and Mercer Island.
Permit Timelines: Current 2026 wait times for STFI (Subject to Field Inspection) vs. Full Review permits in the City of Seattle and surrounding jurisdictions like Shoreline and Bellevue.

SERVING THE GREATER SEATTLE COMMUNITY:

Elite Remodeling Seattle continues to provide comprehensive design-build services across the region, including Bellevue, Redmond, Mercer Island, Shoreline, and Ballard. The firm’s integrated approach combines architectural design and construction management under one roof, preventing the “change order” surprises common with fragmented general contracting.

Homeowners can verify the company’s local presence and read verified reviews from neighbors on the official Google Business Profile.

ABOUT ELITE REMODELING SEATTLE:

Elite Remodeling Seattle is a locally owned design-build and construction firm dedicated to preserving and upgrading Pacific Northwest homes. Founded by Sergiu Ursuleac, the company serves the Greater Seattle community, including Bellevue, Redmond, Mercer Island, Sammamish and other neighboring cities. The firm specializes in high-value kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovations, and custom home additions, offering a unified process that protects homeowners from the hidden costs often associated with fragmented construction bids.

National Radon Awareness Week is January 26-30: Pillar To Post Home Inspectors Share Important Information

TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 19, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Here is a shocking fact. The second leading cause of lung cancer is Radon, says Pillar To Post Home Inspectors. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) [*1] estimates that about 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year are radon related and in Canada that number stands at approximately 3,000.

Image caption: Radon Mitigation Image – Pillar To Post Home Inspectors.

Radon, a dangerous gas, is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and radioactive. It is formed by the breakdown of uranium, a natural radioactive material found in soil, rock, and groundwater.

According to the EPA, 1 out of every 15 homes in the United States and Canada is estimated to have an elevated radon level. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have a radon problem – this means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements since this secret killer comes from the ground not from construction materials.

HOW RADON CAN GET INTO YOUR HOME

Cracks in Solid Floors
Construction Joints
Cracks in Walls
Gaps in Suspended Floors
Gaps Around Service Pipes
Cavities Inside Walls
The Water Supply

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW & DO

According to the U.S. Department of Urban Development (HUD), Radon is measured in picoCuries per liter of air (pCi/L). Radon levels inside houses below 4 pCi/L are considered acceptable. If your home has radon levels above 4 pCi/L, you should act.
Radon testing will always be a service that a home buyer would need to request separately from a home inspection company.
A 48-hour test conducted by a home inspection professional will always be more accurate. If a home is found to have elevated levels, seal the foundation and all access points such as plumbing, small cracks and mortar joints with crack sealants.
Mechanical ventilation will be the next step. An HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilation) system will introduce exterior air into the building envelope and pressurize it.
Cover the earth floor in crawl spaces with a high-density plastic sheet. A vent pipe and fan can be used to blow the radon from under the sheet and vent it to the outdoors.
The EPA suggests radon testing every two years.
Certain geographic areas are more prone than others. Mountainous and/or rocky areas have the highest concentrations. Older homes with a brick or stone foundation are suspectable to radon.

HOW YOU CAN TEST FOR RADON

Radon testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk. Pillar To Post™ Home Inspectors conduct a short-term test using a continuous monitor to provide a snapshot of the home to see if it has elevated levels of Radon. Testing takes 2-3 days and results are provided and interpreted, and the report is sent directly to the client. Recommendations will then be made for a mitigation system. Even owners of condominiums, houses built on slabs, and other situations need to check on the air quality and the presence of Radon in their living quarters.

Visit https://pillartopost.com/radon/ for tools & resources, as well as how to contact your local home inspector.

Founded in 1994, Pillar To Post Home Inspectors is the largest home inspection company in North America with home offices in Toronto and Tampa. There are 450+ franchises located across the United States and Canada. For further information, please visit https://pillartopost.com/.

New England Outdoor Sheds & Garages Announces Expansion with 8-Acre Destination Showroom in Epping, New Hampshire

METHUEN, Mass., Jan. 7, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — New England Outdoor Sheds & Garages, a family-owned and operated business specializing in high-quality outdoor structures for over 50 years, is pleased to announce its expansion into New Hampshire with a new showroom located on Route 125 in Epping expected to open in early 2026. The 8-acre outdoor destination is set to become the company’s flagship location, showcasing an extensive catalog in a unique, interactive environment.

Image caption: Timber Frame Pavilion by New England Outdoor.

Founded in 1969, the company has grown from humble beginnings into a third-generation family business renowned for its craftsmanship and customer service.

“This new location represents a significant milestone in our history, allowing us to showcase a wider selection of products in a way we haven’t been able to in Methuen with its smaller footprint,” said Joe Bartolotta, owner of New England Outdoor.

The Epping showroom is designed not just for browsing but for an outdoor experience, aiming to be a community hub for families and outdoor enthusiasts.

The new site will feature several remarkable attractions, including a massive 30’x60′ timber frame pavilion covering a custom pickleball court built by Sport Court Northeast of North Andover MA (www.sportcourtnortheast.com). Visitors can also tour a fully finished two-bedroom, two-bathroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and explore a large post and beam barn that will house an indoor basketball court, also by Sport Court Northeast. A picturesque pond stocked for future fishing derbies greets guests at the entrance with a beautiful fountain and accent lighting, setting the tone for a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere in the heart of Epping.

“The Epping location is the culmination of a lifelong dream,” said Joe Bartolotta. “We didn’t just want to build another showroom; we wanted to create a place where people can see and experience the possibilities for their own backyards while enjoying a day out with their family. It’s about community and quality.”

Image caption: Custom 2-Story Garage/ADU by New England Outdoor.

His sons, who are integral to the family business, share this vision. “We’ve listened to our customers for years, and this new space allows us to display our structures in a real-world setting,” stated Jonathan Bartolotta. Ryan Bartolotta added, “Our goal is for this to be more than a place to shop. With plans for food trucks, fishing derbies, game courts and community events, we’re building a destination that everyone in the region can enjoy.”

“We’re also excited about the new state-of-the-art production facility,” Jonathan added. “By integrating the latest technology and innovative building tools and techniques, we’ll be able to expand our product line, accelerate production timelines, and significantly reduce our energy consumption – all while maintaining the commitment to quality our customers know us for.”

ABOUT NEW ENGLAND OUTDOOR SHEDS & GARAGES

New England Outdoor Sheds & Garages has been crafting quality outdoor structures since 1969, building on a legacy of tradition, integrity, and outstanding value. Founded by Joe Bartolotta Sr. and his son Joe Jr., the company began as a family-run home remodeling center in Saugus, Massachusetts. As demand grew for their expert woodworking, they evolved from creating picnic tables, dog houses, and swings to designing and constructing their first storage sheds – a pivotal step that set the foundation for the business as it is known today.

Recognizing the needs of New England homeowners, New England Outdoor expanded from a modest 4,500 sq. ft. facility to a much larger workshop and showroom in Methuen, Massachusetts. For over five decades, the company’s unwavering commitment to meticulous craftsmanship, using only top-tier materials and superior construction techniques, has set it apart in the industry. Every structure is built to last and backed by an industry-leading 30-year warranty, offering customers true peace of mind.

Now in its third generation and still family-owned and operated, New England Outdoor thrives under the leadership of Joe Bartolotta, his wife Kathleen, and their sons Jonathan and Ryan. Together, they have broadened the company’s vision, offering an extensive product line that now includes sheds, garages, workshops, ADUs, post and beam barns, pavilions, pergolas, gazebos, pool houses, greenhouses, cupolas, weathervanes, and a variety of outdoor accessories.

Driven by a dedication to customer service and a passion for innovation, New England Outdoor continues to provide fully customizable, expertly installed structures that suit a variety of needs and lifestyles. Their evolution from humble beginnings to a premier provider of outdoor buildings is a testament to decades of hard work, family values, and a steadfast promise to exceed customer expectations.

For more than two decades, Anchor Roofing & Exteriors has grown through referrals, repeat customers, and word-of-mouth recommendations.

Across reviews, homeowners consistently highlight several themes:

Responsive help during leaks and emergencies
Clear, steady communication throughout projects
No-pressure recommendations based on actual need

Respect for homeowners, timelines, and property

“Reaching 100 five-star reviews isn’t about the number—it’s about the trust behind every single one,” said Stu Hudson, Founder and Owner of Anchor Roofing & Exteriors. “Our team lives here and works here, and we’re here long after the storms pass. The support from Minnesota homeowners means a great deal to us.”

Anchor’s standing in the Twin Cities roofing and exterior market is also reinforced by extensive manufacturer training and certifications.

The company is certified or recognized by GAF, Owens Corning, Brava, CertainTeed, LP® SmartSide®, and James Hardie®, and maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Anchor is fully licensed, insured, and active in regional professional associations including NARI, the Metal Roofing Alliance, and the Builders Association of the Twin Cities.

Avatar Design & Construction Trademarks Brand, Unveils ‘Grand’ Multi-Family Developments

WATERTOWN, Mass. and MANCHESTER, N.H., Nov. 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Avatar Design & Construction, a leading commercial design-build firm, today announced the official trademarking of its company name (Avatar®) as a design-build brand and the launch of its new trademarked “Grand” line of multi-family apartment buildings. This strategic move solidifies the company’s identity and introduces a new standard of living to the New England market, beginning with three major projects in Manchester, New Hampshire.

The first development under the new brand, Grand Central Suites, is currently under construction at 21 Central Street in Manchester. The project is progressing steadily and is anticipated to welcome its first residents in early 2026. Following this flagship building, Avatar is set to break ground on two additional properties in Manchester: Grand Maison at 533 Elm Street and Grand Midtown at 102 Elm Street. These projects signal a significant expansion of the “Grand” brand and Avatar’s commitment to revitalizing urban communities throughout New England.

“Securing the trademarks for both Avatar and the ‘Grand’ brand is a pivotal milestone for our company,” said Nazar Vincent, President of Avatar Design & Construction. “It represents the culmination of our team’s dedication to creating exceptional spaces through our integrated design-build model. The ‘Grand’ properties are designed not just as buildings, but as vibrant communities, and we are thrilled to introduce this vision in Manchester and beyond.”

“We are excited to present Grand Central Suites to the community,” says the project’s developer, Nazar Vincent of Avatar Design & Construction. “This is the first of a series of projects that will not only provide top-notch living spaces but also contribute to the growth and development of Manchester’s downtown area. The wait is nearly over for those seeking a luxurious and modern living experience in the heart of downtown Manchester.”

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Avatar Design & Construction invites interested investors to inquire about opportunities related to the “Grand” properties and other ongoing projects across the region. The firm continues to seek strategic partnerships to expand its portfolio of high-quality commercial and residential properties.

In partnership with Bridgewater Development of Watertown, MA, Avatar Design & Construction offers several attractive opportunities for qualified investors interested in high-yield commercial real estate investments. With a minimum investment of $50,000, individuals and groups can participate in the development of premier multi-family and mixed-use projects across the Northeast.

“Our purchasing experts leverage extensive research and global sourcing to secure exceptional products and building materials at significantly reduced costs,” says Nazar Vincent. “This purchasing advantage allows us to design projects with higher profit margins while upholding superior design standards and construction quality. As a result, we are proud to share these profits with a select group of investors who are instrumental in bringing our project portfolio to life.”

Investors have the flexibility to allocate funds to a single property or diversify across multiple developments. To learn more or apply, visit https://bridgewaterdevelopment.com/.

New Fence Factory Website Highlights Customer-Focused Offerings, From Instant Quotes To Fire-Resistant Fencing

With the launch of its newly improved website, the California fence and gate company aims to better serve everyone from DIYers to contractors

OXNARD, Calif., Oct. 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — For more than five decades, Fence Factory has been providing fencing materials and installation services across California. Even with a long history, the company’s leadership team didn’t want to rest on its laurels. It embarked on an effort to improve its website to best serve its customers in the modern age. The improved site has now officially launched.

Image caption: Fence Factory truck delivering materials to a residential property.

The website aims to better support Fence Factory’s broad range of residential and commercial customers: homeowners, DIYers, contractors, builders, businesses, local governmental entities, and more. No matter their fencing needs, when someone visits the site, they can find clear information about their options. The Fence Factory team wanted to make it easy to take next steps, too, so they included an instant quote feature.

From the instant quote page, home and business owners, professional builders, people from government agencies, or anyone else can get personalized pricing in just a few steps:

Choose their nearest Fence Factory location (the company has five bases of operations throughout California)
Input their property address
Use the interactive map feature to draw an outline indicating where they’d like the fence to go
Choose their desired fencing materials and style from a wide range of options, including fire-resistant, vinyl, ornamental iron, chain-link, and wood (contact them regarding custom fencing)
Review their real-time estimate

This feature allows contractors to get information they can use to submit bids and estimates. It also empowers DIYers who want to explore their choices for a project they hope to tackle. By making pricing information readily available, the Fence Factory team aims to support the individual goals of its wide range of customers. With instant access to a quote, people can make informed decisions about the right fencing for their home, business, or other project.

The new Fence Factory website also includes a detailed landing page to provide information about something that can benefit virtually any Californian: fire-resistant fencing. With the increasing frequency and severity of wildfires in the state, many homeowners, business owners, and contractors want to build in defensible space. In some instances, building code even prevents combustible materials like wood and vinyl from being installed within five feet of the property.

Fence Factory offers ColorMax® fire-resistant steel privacy fencing and non-combustible aluminum options specifically designed to support wildfire safety. Whether the property is located in a Firewise Community, Zone 0 buffer area, or Wildfire Severity Zone or the property owner simply wants to defend against fire-related risk, this fencing delivers.

With its newly revamped site, the Fence Factory team aims to continue living up to its commitment to provide personalized service paired with quality craftsmanship.

ABOUT FENCE FACTORY

Fence Factory has been California’s trusted fence supplier and installer since 1972, delivering quality craftsmanship, unmatched inventory, and personalized service across generations.

The company helps homeowners, contractors, and businesses build stronger, safer, and more beautiful spaces. From residential privacy fences to large-scale commercial projects, Fence Factory’s purpose is simple: provide the highest-quality materials, expert support, and dependable service that makes every project a success.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 5, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Simple Electric is proud to be restoring safety and peace of mind to a 55+ Community. The neighborhood was recently left in disrepair due to contractor negligence. Unethical work created dangerous conditions and left residents facing major repairs.

Image caption: Simple Electric logo – Phoenix, AZ.

The 14-unit complex is home to seniors living on fixed incomes. They were left with serious code violations and 11 red-tagged units following substandard electrical work. Facing an estimated repair cost of over $30,000 and one quote over $60,000. The community was left in an overwhelming and urgent crisis.

That’s when Simple Electric stepped in.

“We couldn’t stand by and do nothing,” said Todd Peterson, owner of Simple Electric. “These residents deserve better. They’ve already been taken advantage of. So, we wanted to be part of the solution.”

Simple Electric is donating 100% of its labor and services to bring these homes back up to code. Additionally, the licensed electrical engineer is donating his time and expertise. Our electrical supplier has committed to donating materials for the new service upgrades that are required.

“We have so many wonderful people willing to help,” said Todd. “This isn’t just about fixing wires. It’s about restoring trust and dignity.”

Work is already underway, and the community’s response has been overwhelmingly grateful. Simple Electric hopes this project not only restores homes but also sets an example of what it means to serve with integrity.
