Helping our community one day at a time.

June 10, 2016 by Kyle Lyons Leave a Comment

community

So how does Lyons Roofing company help the local community one day at a time? How does any smaller construction company help daily for that matter?

(this post is not meant to be bragging or touting of Lyons Roofing, this post is meant to bring awareness to not only our community but others that may not realize the importance of community service)

Lets just start out by saying that everyone has the responsibility to reach out and lend a helping hand in the community when one is needed. It may not have to be a big donation or days/weeks of community service. It could be as small as the age old “helping an old lady cross the street” or as big as doing a habitat for humanity project. it is every persons and companies responsibility to help out when others are in need.

1 Peter 5:2 – Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight [thereof], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

Community Involvement


Lyons Roofing Company takes pride in the local community we so passionately serve. Whether it be a school, people in need or helping the “old lady cross the street” we take pride in making sure everyone that needs help that we have come in contact with, leave knowing that there are people and companies around that care.

How you and I can lend a helping hand. I use a local example that many roofing companies can join in on, if they haven’t already. Lyons Roofing Co. had a customer recently that was in extreme need of financing. She was an older widow on social security with a roof in dire need of replacement. We as a company did everything we could to get her the financing she needed to get the work done but just couldn’t get her approved for the amount needed for the full replacement. So we did what we could, we came to an agreement donating the cost of the labor, just making the customer responsible for the materials. She was able to get financing for the smaller amount and her roof was replaced timely.

So why did i tell you this story? Not to gloat, but a little example for other companies to take into consideration. Granted, all companies need to be careful, we all see people in dire need of roof replacement on a daily basis but how do we know if it is right or wrong or to help those people out? Honestly no body can tell you, you have to use your own judgement. Just remember, you can’t help every single person but we have the responsibility to help as many as possible!

Other simple ways we can help our community

  • Take a garbage bag with you on your next inspection. (people on main roads tend to end up with trash in their front yard).
  • Attend a local community event or purchase a both to show your community involvement.
  • Encourage your employer if you are not the owner to get more actively involved in the community.
  • School sports teams and bands are always in need of donation, sponsor a school.
  • boys and girls clubs
  • YMCA
  • Churches

These are all simple ways a small donation or small amount of time invested could provide a great rewarding feeling in knowing you are giving your all to your community. After all, they support you and me!

Thank you again to all of our local partners in the greater Louisville, Ky area. hands shaking

Roofing Contractor or DIY?

May 19, 2016 by Kyle Lyons Leave a Comment

Roofing can be a risky and tedious task. No matter what your roof looks like from the ground , it’s probably steeper than you think! there’s no railing, and it can be pretty high off the ground! So when something goes wrong, whether you’ve got a leak, a few shingles blew off in the last storm, or your roof needs serious repairs, it’s hard to know if you should buckle up and do it yourself, or call a professional.

Here’s a few pros and cons to DIY vs hiring a professional contractor.

Do It Yourself:

  • Pros – If it’s a simple repair, like applying some sealant over a small roof leak or replacing a shingle or two, fixing it yourself might be a good alternative to hiring a contractor. If you built your own home or recently replaced your roof, you might already have leftover shingles, so you save on product costs, and you’ll also save the cost of hiring a contractor.
  • Cons – No matter what job you’re doing, walking around on the roof can be dangerous. Roofing contractors spend almost every day up on the roof, so they know how to safely navigate the dangers, and have a high level of experience with every sort of issue. Additionally, if you aren’t exactly sure what to do, you risk making a small problem a lot bigger. What was just a small leak before could become a major structural issue if it’s not properly addressed.

Hiring a professional roofing contractor:

  • Pros – Number one: you don’t have to get up on the roof. That saves a lot, just in peace of mind! Also, when you hire a professional contractor, you know the job is more than likely going to be done right, and done fast. A roofing contractor is also able to tell you if there are any other issues going on with your roof that you may need to know about. Many professionals offer a quote or consultation so you know exactly what’s happening with your roof, why it needs to be fixed, and how much it will cost. If you have a professional repair your roof, you’ll know the problem was taken care of properly and permanently. BONUS:If you’re replacing your entire roof, hiring a professional usually means there is a manufacturers warranty available if installed by a certified professional. This can save you a lot of headaches in the future.
  • Cons – If it’s a simple task, it might cost more to have a professional do it than to just fix it yourself. The added cost won’t always outweigh the benefits. There’s also the hassle of making sure you can get a professional out to your home when it’s convenient for you, both when they do the inspection, and later when they come back to finish the repairs. Finally, if you have a repair you need done right away, you might have to wait to get a trusted professional to do it. Depending on the time of the year, some roofers may be booked for weeks.

In the end, you have to decide if you know what you’re doing, if it’s safe, and if you’ll actually save money. If you have an issue with your roof, just give Lyons Roofing Company a call at 812-294-3595 or schedule your free no obligation quote online today.

Roof Replacement or Coating?

May 8, 2016 by Kyle Lyons Leave a Comment

Do you need to replace the roof on your building or business, does the cost of a full roof replacement make you feel uneasy? Can your budget handle an expense that large this year? These are all questions that a qualified roofing contractor can help you answer. Its very possible, a silicone roof coating could be a good alternative to roof replacement.

One of the many reasons business owners often choose a silicone coating is the fact that it accomplishes many, if not all, of the same goals of a roof replacement, but can do it at a fraction of the cost.

  Full Roof Replacement Can Be Expensive – Silicone Coating May Not Be

     A full roof replacement could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most business owners don’t want to spend that amount of money on their roof. For those companies that don’t want to spend this unexpected money, a good alternative to a full roof replacement may be a silicone coating that is inexpensive, yet still provides the same benefit.

Roof Repairs Don’t Work as Roof Replacement

     It is way to common for a building owner to try and substitute roof replacement with repairs. This is an extremely poor alternative and it never fixes the problem. Yes, making repairs is less expensive, but it only delays the inevitable for a short time. In contrast, installing a silicone roof coating can take your current roof that is failing and turn it into one of the highest performing roofs available and extend the life of the roof up to twenty years!

Who needs a full roof replacement when that kind of alternative is available?

Conclusion

Silicone roof coatings are an inexpensive alternative, they can more than likely be installed without disrupting your operations, they extend the life of your current roofing system, and they largely eliminate the need for repairs on your roof. One of the only true alternatives to a full roof replacement, silicone roof coatings are finally growing their presence in the market to gain the attention of building owners everywhere.
