We’ve been working hard to help as many homeowners as we can during our busy season! Recently we worked on a roofing job at a Cape Cod house in Cheektowaga. We thought this would be a typical roof job, but when we removed the old roof, it actually turned into something much bigger. Our amazing team was up for the challenge on this roof replacement project to get this home looking good as new!
And the award goes to… The homeowner with the William C. Rott roof!
Okay, it’s not exactly an award. But there is a plaque involved.
This project in Lockport is one of the biggest low-slope roofs we’ve ever done!!! This roofing job was challenging but also incredibly rewarding…
While this year’s roofing season has been shortened, we’ve been working hard to help as many WNY homeowners as possible! As we moved through the phases in WNY, we’ve been incredibly thankful to get back into the swing of things and resume what we do best.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve helped repair roofs, install new gutters, put on new siding, and even rebuild some vintage posts beneath a flat roof. Let’s take a look at a few projects we’ve been up to…
It may be hot out there, but our team has been outside working hard all summer long! We’ve been helping repair all of the damage from last winter and help shield homes all around Western New York for many more winters to come.
Installing new siding, roofing, or even just a soffit can transform a home in so many ways—not only from a protection standpoint, but aesthetically as well. Some of our siding jobs especially has made the home look brand new!
Let’s take a look at some of the recent projects we’ve been up to so far this summer…
So, your roof blew off. Or at least part of it. What now? Well, your first, reasonable response would be to freak out.
Could you imagine this happening to you? Mary Lou came home to a sunken roof!
After realizing what had happened, there was no time to waste before giving William C. Rott a call.
When it comes to roofing, not all jobs are the same. Each job presents its own difficulties; some more than others. As we look through our extensive catalog of jobs completed, two roofs in particular stand out: East Aurora House and West Utica House. These houses were especially difficult because of the unique shapes and angles.
A lot of people ask, “Why will you only replace two shingles during a Roof Tune-Up??”
Steve’s answer?
Because he said so. Just kidding!!
When it comes to roofs, minor issues can cause major problems. It is often the leak you are unaware of that causes the most damage—rotting out rafters or even walls. Identifying these problems is essential for proper roof maintenance.
My kids would rather assume the worst of each other and hunker down for an all out, “I am right, and you are wrong!” hoedown throwdown!
So consequently, it seems like it’s fight night every night at the Rott house.
We have been in the business of roofing since 1909. With over 100-years of experience, we have learned that damage done by winter can also be fixed in the winter.
Yes, that’s right, we will do what many will not attempt, and we guarantee that it will be done well!
Why repair a roof in the winter and not wait until spring or summer? The answer is that there is a problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
This past Saturday my daughter Angela, feeling sick, slept downstairs on the couch. In the morning, she informed me that our 6-month-old dog had bitten her foot—her big toe to be precise—during the night.
An initial inspection seemed to confirm, that indeed, some act of violence had been perpetrated against her person. Dried blood was smeared in the troubled area. She testified to having seen the dog’s mouth still upon her foot when she woke.
Except for what seemed like the most obvious evidence ever presented, with an eyewitness to boot, I would have not believed it.
I struggled to imagine why this very peaceful, loving pup would thus turn savage during the night past.
Well, you know what? Turns out, things are not always as they seem. The evidence lied. What? Yes!
Upon cleaning the affected area, all that remained was a partially opened blood blister.
With the revised view of the situation, and a few moments of re-reflection, we surmised what really happened.
Turns out, my daughter had gained a blister the previous day at basketball. And as it had begun to open, our dog found it and began to lick the wound, administering the only healing balm she knew how.
That’s a lot like roofing.
As we open up roofs, we find types of blood blisters formed by previous bad roofing work.
And it seems like we are the cause and culprit when, in fact, we are only finding and addressing the injury to make it whole once again.
Who do you know that needs the medicine man of roofing industry to solve problems that surely exist, but will remain unknown and never properly addressed by others?
Have them call William C Rott to shield their home.
