The Guardian Gazette: September 2019 Newsletter

Happy September Friends!

Among my circle of family and friends, the month of September is synonymous with two things, the first being the Puyallup Fair. Though it has since been re-branded as the Washington State Fair, this once-a-year family exposition still boasts the same rides, fair food and amusements that I enjoyed as a child (as did my children), when it was still known simply as the Puyallup Fair.

The 2nd thing that comes to mind when I think of September is the drastic change in weather. The wind and rain of Fall are unavoidable and your roof typically takes the brunt of foul weather. Guardian wants to make sure you and your home are prepared and protected. If you suspect your roof has issues or you simply want confirmation that your roof is prepared for the rough weather ahead, call Guardian! Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are ready to help!

Let us worry about your roof so that you can focus on the more enjoyable things of September, like hot kettle popcorn and bird’s eyes views from a Ferris Wheel.

*Don’t forgot to visit the Washington State Fair, open now until September 22nd!*

Every year, the prestigious editorial releases to the public a list of the best roofing contractors in the areas of commercial, residential, and industrial. Making the List, which is now in its 11th year, has become extremely competitive as more and more roofing contractors use it to set themselves apart from others in the industry.

This year Guardian Roofing secured #111 on the list of 150, moving up from #120 in 2018, and #90 in 2017. With well over 100,000 registered roofing contractors spread out across the country, standing out as one of the top 1% for the last 3 years in a row is an honor and a privilege.

We are so excited to be included in this list,” said Guardian’s General Manager Matt Swanson. “Our guys love being able to show prospective clients our ranking. It helps solidify us in the client’s mind as being a company that is not only vetted and certified, but trustworthy as well. Making the Top 150 List is like Christmas morning to a roofing contractor”.

Guardian would like to thank their employees for all their hard work and dedication, and their clients for placing their trust and their homes in Guardian’s hands. We couldn’t have made the Roofing Contractor Top 150 list without you!

 

This month’s featured review:

“Excellent service. Especially because I needed someone to come today and Guardian made it happen. Service man was on time, excellent to work with. He found a couple of other repairs that needed to be done, documented with photos, no pressure – just information – so I could trust what I was being told. I am very thankful I used Guardian”.

 

We are so grateful for our customer reviews. A kind review is one of the greatest gifts the Guardian team can receive from a client. Each month we reward three clients for their positive accolades.

This month, we are rewarding Mariana S, Barbara F, and Lawrence F.

After A Fire

No one wants to think about a home fire. But, they do happen. A fire in your home is devastating both physically and emotionally. In addition to damage to your home, you could lose valuable possessions and irreplaceable personal items, like baby pictures and family heirlooms. So, every homeowner needs to take steps to protect your property and your family. If there is a fire, you will have to recover your losses and heal from the damage. But, after any traumatic event, you don’t have to manage everything by yourself. Ask family and friends to help you with some of the steps you’ll need to take to repair the damage. Their help and support will shorten your long to do list and lift your spirits.

Your first step to recovering from a fire is prevention. You can’t always prevent a fire from happening, but you can increase your family’s safety and minimize the potential damage. Creating a fire escape plan and practice it with your family can help them keep a cool head and get out quickly. Adding smoke alarms in your home and keeping them properly maintained will speed your reaction to a fire. Some security systems have the capacity to detect a fire and automatically notify emergency services, So, your only focus can be escaping the fire as quickly as possible.

This checklist serves as a quick reference and guide for you to follow after a fire occurs.

• If you own your house or you have renter’s insurance, contact your insurance company for detailed instructions on protecting the property, processing your claim, and contacting fire damage restoration companies. And, notify your mortgage company of the fire. If you are renting, contact the home’s owner.  If you do not have renter’s insurance, private organizations may be able to provide aid and assistance.
• Contact any family members that may not have been in the home. Let them know what happened and let them know that everybody is okay. 
• Contact your local disaster relief agency, like The Red Cross, if you need temporary housing, food and medicines.
• Confirm that you home is safe to enter with the fire department. Be aware that structural damage may have been caused by the fire. The fire department should confirm that utilities are either safe to use or are disconnected before they leave the site.  DO NOT attempt to reconnect utilities yourself, have a professional plumber and electrician perform a thorough inspection and repair.
• Conduct an inventory of damaged property and items.  Do not throw away any damaged goods until after an inventory is made. Having photographed or documented your valuable items in advance and stored in a fire safe location will aid in processing your insurance claim. Some homeowners videotape the entire home to document items and their location.
• If your valuable documents and records weren;t stored in a fire safe location, try to locate them or obtain copies.  It would be great to have receipts and bank statements of purchased items.
• Begin saving receipts for any money you spend related to fire loss.  The receipts may be needed later by the insurance company and for verifying losses claimed on your income tax. 

 In the event of a fire, remember that every second counts, so everyone must be prepared. Escape plans help you get out of your home quickly. No one wants to have to clean up and repair the damage after a fire, but Guardian is here to help.
