SUMMARY:
Among the many projects that were postponed during the months of the COVID-19 pandemic were roof replacements. For both residential and commercial properties, it is important to replace aged and damaged roofing materials on a regular basis in order to protect the structure underneath. However, with labor shortages, supply chain delays, and questions about health and safety on the job to contend with, roofing projects were some of the first scheduled jobs to be taken off the calendar indefinitely. Roofing materials are now readily available, and owners of structures that are overdue for roofing repairs and replacement should book their project as soon as possible.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Over the past two years, customers of BTB Construction in the Lynchburg, Virginia area have faced difficult decisions about scheduling repairs, replacing windows, reroofing their homes, and making other remodeling decisions. During the pandemic itself, most of these projects had to be postponed due to government mandates, health concerns, and labor shortages. The supply chain interruptions that followed the easing of the pandemic conditions continued to delay many of these projects even further, and only recently have those interruptions begun to lift.
Roofing material repairs and replacements comprised one of the largest categories of postponed jobs. At this point, many of the aging roofs that were scheduled to be replaced in mid-2020 are now two or more years overdue, and they are likely providing substandard protection to the underlying roof structure, the attic spaces, and the living spaces of the homes and businesses that they serve. While these projects were easy to ignore for a few months, they now present a significant risk for property owners.
BTB Construction is pleased to inform local business and home owners in the greater Lynchburg area that availability of roofing materials is approaching normal levels and lead times. This applies to shingles of various styles and colors as well as flat roof materials, opening up opportunities for customers to reschedule their long-overdue roofing projects and ensure that their properties are adequately protected against weather threats.
The current season presents a time constraint for Lynchburg property owners that need to have their roofs replaced. With snow, ice, and other winter weather elements just weeks away from the central Virginia region, now is the time to replace compromised roofing materials and avoid the possibility of major structural damage during winter snows and heavy spring rains. Leaking roofs can also allow moisture to build up in attics and upper levels of buildings, leading to mold and mildew growth when temperatures begin to rise in the spring.
Lynchburg area residents can get in touch with BTB Construction through their website at www.btbroofing.com. Well trained and equipped roofing crews are ready to take on reroofing projects with the commitment to quality that BTB Construction has become known for in the Lynchburg, Virginia area. BTB Construction also offers expert service in gutter replacement, new windows, and other exterior services to make homes and businesses more energy efficient.
