Picure this. You come home from work, the first monsoon finally came, you forgot your umbrella, your wipers should have been changed last year, you chuckled as you thought about the 'stupid motorist law' but luckily that street was closed. You get home relishing the thought of drying off, having a nice cup of coffee and reading the paper BUT, you walk in and find part of your ceiling on your living room floor and furniture!  YIKES. . . . . . . . .
 
Kitchen Leak
 
What do you do????? 
Who do you call?????
 
You immediatly get on the phone and start calling every roofing contractor you can find, only to hear you can't get a repair, or even an estimate for 2 weeks!  OUCH!  What do you do?  You continue calling until your wife gets home, puts the buckets out, then calls the insurance company.  Your agent gives you a few names of reputable roofers, BUT you already called and they were 2 weeks out!
 
According to the BBB, monsoon storms can bring heavy rains, high winds, hail and with it, significant property damage.  They receive many calls each year from consumers who were in predicaments like the one above and hired someone who knoced on their door.  Unfortunately, says Matthew Fehling, President/CEO, often these calls wind up being people who have been scammed. You then still have a leaky roof, or worse, have a roof that was partially done and your out the money you paid them, then can't find them or their company name! See the recent BBB article at BBB of Central Arizona.
 
Channel 3 news did a story last week after consulting with the BBB, and Lyons Roofing on being scammed on weather damaged homes.  Go to AZ Family.com to see the segment aired July 16th.
 
It is important, no, CRITICAL to do your homework. Check out the companies license with the BBB, Arizona Registrar of Contractors and best of all your friends, family and neighbors.  For more on roofing scams visit Roofery.com
 
Remember, when it rains it pours, and most, if not all reputable and established contractors are not out in the rain knocking on doors.  Like somebody's Mom once said, "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is!".

Sparky Needs a Home
 
SparkySparky, an adorable dachsund mix puppy, was found by our own Andy laying in a little ball in a small area of shade in his front yard on a hot afternoon a few weeks ago. He was dehydrated, overheated, undernourished, and wouldn't put any weight on his left hind leg. 
 
They  took Sparky in and cooled him down, fed him and I'm sure made him comfortable.  Sparky had no ID tag, or a microchip as they would find out. The next day they took him to their vet who x-rayed his leg and determined that he had a fracture at the knee. We also learned that he was about 16 weeks old, was otherwise in good health. 
 
The surgery was expensive and they already have a house full so they brought him to the AZ Humane Society who agreed to do the surgery.  Andy also agreed to foster him for the 6-8 weeks he would need to recuperate. 
 
Now Sparky will need a new home.  Until then, Andy and Shawn give him all the love, toys, and training that we can so he'll be well on his way to being the perfect companion for someone else.
 
For information on adopting Sparky call Andy here at Lyons Roofing at 602.276.5515.

"Our experience with Lyons roofing was terrific.  Everyone was great on the job.  Accurate, exact and timely.  The roof is beautiful and really works well.  The finished product is great.  Our neighbors all like it too.  We look good in the neighborhood.  We definitely would have Lyons roofing do our next home as well."
