Bring color to your show place

One of the things we enjoy about helping homeowners is making their home a show place again. Too often, things like broken railings, loose shingles and siding, and a variety of 'small jobs' ALL add up to make a house look worn and outdated. And yet, it is SO easy to give a home a facelift with the many colorful products that are available today.

When a new and modern color siding is combined with a fresh set of colored shingles, a colorful fiberglass deck and artfully designed railings, a home either returns to its former glory or becomes a new show place on the block. Color and style should be a part of any home owner's property.

Giving a house a facelift gives it new value on the market and sets it apart from the rest of the neighborhood. Manufacturers have never offered such an array of colors, and many homeowners are combining them for fantastic results.

So try something different when you consider upgrading the look of your home. At Madera and Sons we are experts in giving your home the distinct look it deserves.

We are experts in roof repair, siding and fiberglass decks in New Jersey and Pennsylvania including Atlantic City, Ventnor, Margate, Longport and Philadelphia.

Check out these colors at this festive time of year.

Up on the housetop.

You might not know it, but Santa Claus is coming to town! Well, pretty much everyone knows that and whether or not you believe it is up to you. For many, Santa symbolizes the symbol of giving at the holiday season, and for others he is the symbol of commercialism and everything that is wrong with the season.

One thing we know is that Santa plans land his sleigh on the rooftop before making his way down the chimney. He is not going to like tripping over loose shingles or flash!

Meanwhile, Madera and Sons Roofing can make sure your roof is in tip top condition whether you live at the Jersey Shore or Philadelphia. And don't worry about the cold! Just like Santa, we have our thermal underwear ready for the worst winter days. We give free estimates and offer special discounts every day. Call us for details and we will see you right away.

Thanks and here is a classic holiday song to get you in the spirit! Feel free to sing along!

Watch for danger signs of roof collapse

You read about it in the papers and see it on television all the time – ROOF COLLAPSE. Often, a roof will collapse in the process of building it, when the support is not complete and the weight of materials and workers becomes a problem. But more often then not, we find roof collapse on the eastern seaboard as a result of wind, water and snow.

This calamity can become deadly! In a recent incident from December of last year, heavy snow from a blizzard caused the roof and east wall of a Neptune City commercial building to collapse, leading to a gas line rupture. The building at 90 Route 35 housed an auto repair shop for the First Student bus company, which provides transportation for area schools.

It makes sense that the roof of a commercial building can eventually hold enough snow to collapse. There are many shopping centers and department stores in areas where heavy snow is an issue, that the support is so well-made that small snow plows can drive on them.

If you own a commercial location, then you owe it to yourself and your employees to have the roof inspected and any issues resolved before the winter is upon us. Commercial roofing is our specialty and we have many happy customers in Philadelphia, South Jersey and the surrounding area.

The following are some of the symptoms that have been reported prior to roof failure:
1. Sagging roof steel visually deformed
2. Cracked or split wood members
3. Sprinkler heads pushed down below ceiling tiles
4. Doors that pop open
5. Doors or windows that are difficult to open
6. Bowed utility pipes or conduit attached at ceiling
7. Creaking, cracking or popping sounds

Call Madera and Sons to protect your investment and keep the roof over your head. We also specialize in fiberglass roofing and decks in Philadelphia, South Jersey and the surrounding area.

Commercial roofing experts in Atlantic City, Philadelphia and all of South Jersey

We are very proud of the many commercial roofing and fiberglass projects that we work on in South Jersey, Philadelphia and the surrounding area. We help businesses keep a roof over their heads and provide them the protection they need for their investment.

Have you ever walked into a restaurant where the roof leaks and the tables have been rearranged to accommodate the buckets catching the rain water? It happens a lot in our shore towns, where wind and rain can be a daily occurrence. A strong and leak-proof roof is a must for a successful restaurant.

One of our most recent jobs was the all new Reddings in Atlantic City. This busy restaurant has earned a reputation as a one-of-a-kind establishment that is family friendly and conveniently located in Atlantic City. We quickly and efficiently repaired the roof after years of neglect and as part of a total rehabilitation of the building. It was a great success and the restaurant opened on schedule.
