As part of Valor Roofing’s Raise the Roof program, US Army Veteran, SGT George Welch received a free roof on his home in Edgewater, MD. SGT Welch is 73 years old and was an Army Military Policeman (31B), as well as a Gunner on a Helicopter Gunship. His platoon was involved in the Battle of Saigon in which they were trapped in an alleyway. Unfortunately, a few of his platoon members did not survive.
“When we consider a Veteran for the Raise the Roof Program, it is important to not only establish a need, but to ensure we recognize the Veteran for their dedication to our country,” said Al Kincaid, Founder of Raise the Roof.“ SGT Welch exemplifies the bravery and heroism we have come to expect from our servicemen and women. Furthermore, SGT Welch deserves a roof that is sturdy and safe. His current home desperately needs something that we can provide. It is our duty as grateful Americans to do our part.”
Living in Edgewater, Maryland for the last 41 years has been a blessing for SGT Welch, but more importantly, for the community that surrounds him. SGT Welch is a cancer survivor, but that doesn’t limit his ability to walk his beloved dogs and get his daily exercise in. This is wonderful news for the neighboring K-9’s, as they all have grown accustom to sneaking a dog treat from his pockets — purposefully — full of delicious snacks.
“SGT Welch was flabbergasted when we arrived. Most Veterans are very humble and do not believe they deserve recognition for their service,” said Will Fisher, Program and Brand Manager at Valor, “After we saw his reaction, we took a moment to show respect. The last thing we wanted was to overwhelm him even more. That is just the type of guy he is; humble and prideful.”
The Raise the Roof program was created by Valor Roofing to give back to service disabled veterans in need, especially Veterans of Foreign Wars such as WW2, Korean War and Vietnam War. Veteran recipients are nominated by their community through Valor Roofing’s radio partners 93.1 WPOC, 98.7 WMZQ, 105.7 The Fan, and 100.7 The Bay. With hundreds of applications to choose from, Valor Roofing selects four veterans a year, one per quarter, to receive a new roof. In less than three years, the program has donated 11 roofs, a value of $132,000. Through their partnership with Operation Second Chance and Flags of Valor (FOV), each recipient also receives a custom wooden flag, hand-built by veterans.

Spread over more than 50 acres, Adar is our oldest development in Coonoor. Located near Bandishola junction, the community has grown organically and now numbers over 40 residents. Wrapping around a hilltop and with an operational tea factory situated within it, Adar has dazzling views and retains a sense of being part of a tea plantation. Adar has aged very well. A group of like-minded residents together with large plot sizes and contractual limitations on over-development have resulted in a community that feels open and green.

The standard duration of a roof is roughly many years. If the roof is under few years old yet you are having problems, it will probably be able to get repaired instead of being forced to put up a brand-new roof. Even so, if your roof exceeds this age it usually is recommended to put in a new roof. To complete both fixes and new installs, a roofing contractor should be employed. A roofing contractor will be able to perfectly put in or service roofing components to make certain a good quality end product.
Before employing a residential roofing Auckland contractor it's always a good idea to get recommendations from family or friends. No matter whether you have recommendations, acquire several bids prior to figuring out the roofing company to hire. A bid ought to be thorough and encompass the work to be conducted, expense, and time-frame to finish. Make certain clean up is included in the offered cost. If you would like save money, offer to complete the cleanup yourself.
Ask the roofer for how long they've been in business. Roofing contractors with numerous years experience are preferred. Additionally, make certain they have a physical address. Many roofing rip-offs are carried out by folks operating out of a truck without any legitimate business licenses or permanent street address. Obtain recommendations and verify them. Roofers should be properly insured. Request verification of insurance coverage to be certain you are shielded from any damage to your house.
The residential roofing Auckland repairs and new roofs may require particular building permits. Make sure the enterprise you deal with knows community building regulations and that they acquire the right licenses or permits. Many cities also need to have inspections during particular stages of construction and a final inspection when the work is complete. Examine your community building codes to be sure the roofer is adhering to all codes. You may be liable if this does not occur.
Before starting the task get a contract. This would include every detail of the project, period of time to finish, and cost. It needs to clearly define payment procedures and warranties. Furthermore, make certain the contract declares they are liable for clean up. Roof elements can be very messy and you should not need to clean up and dispose of waste yourself. However remember you can save a little money if you choose to take on the cleanup process yourself. Don't be rushed into choosing a residential roofing Auckland contractor. Take time to talk to prospective roofers and check out expertise and recommendations. Roof maintenance can be costly and a new roof is really a major investment. Protect your house through doing a bit of analysis. Hire the roofing contractor that has the best mix of expertise and expense and with which you feel most confident.

Koondoola Community Centre
Project Year: 2016
Project Cost: $ 4M
Country: Australia
AIA Awards Finalist, this development consists of a new community centre and upgrade of a local AFL oval, tennis courts, floodlights, and new sports amenities.
The community centre buildings form around existing native trees to avoid cutting. The facilities provide an innovative environmentally sustainable development focusing on passive climate control, longevity, low maintenance costs, and low energy/water consumption.
The buildings function as a live organism: they breathe in and out with automatic sensor-controlled louvres around the building fabrics interconnected to the air conditioning system through a smart control hub. This results in natural airflow, temperature control, and significantly reduced need for the use of air conditioners. All materials are naturally exposed both internally and externally with no touch up finishes, resulting in a significant reduction in capital costs and operational costs.

Priority Remodeling's Exquisite One-Bedroom ADU Project
In the world of home improvement and design, every so often, a project emerges that flawlessly marries aesthetics with functionality. The recent completion of a one-bedroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) by Priority Remodeling stands as a testament to this golden rule.
As one steps into the space, the first thing that catches the eye is the immaculate and contemporary design of the room. Muted gray walls serve as the perfect backdrop, enhancing the natural brightness of the room, thanks to the strategically positioned windows. The window blinds, neatly tucked away, provide options for privacy while allowing natural light to illuminate the space.
The minimalist office area showcases a sleek wooden desk paired with a luxurious leather chair. A simple potted plant adds a touch of organic green, giving a nod to the importance of biophilic design elements. With ample space for working or studying, it offers the perfect environment for productivity and focus.
Transitioning into the bedroom area, the understated elegance continues. The centerpiece - a comfortable bed with crisp white linens - invites rest and relaxation. The headboard's unique nailhead trim design adds a touch of sophistication without overpowering the room. Adjacent to it, a cozy sitting area with a leather lounge chair and throw pillow makes for an ideal reading or relaxation spot.
Both practical and aesthetic, the choice of wooden flooring complements the neutral color palette, warming up the space and providing continuity. The floor seamlessly ties the different areas together, creating a cohesive and harmonious environment.
In sum, Priority Remodeling's recent ADU project is a masterclass in modern interior design. Each element has been meticulously chosen and placed, ensuring both functionality and beauty. This ADU is not just a living space; it's an experience. A testament to the prowess and vision of Priority Remodeling.

In recent years, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have surged in popularity among homeowners, and for a multitude of good reasons. These self-contained living spaces, often constructed in the backyard or converted from existing structures like garages, bring forth a myriad of benefits:
Additional Income Stream: One of the most immediate benefits of an ADU is the potential for rental income. Homeowners can rent out these units to tenants, providing a steady stream of revenue that can help offset mortgage payments or other expenses.
Increased Property Value: Well-designed and constructed ADUs can significantly increase a property's value. It's not just about the added square footage but also the flexibility and functionality that such a space offers.
Housing Flexibility: ADUs can serve multiple purposes over time. They can start as a home office, transition to a living space for a college-going child, and later serve as a residence for aging parents. This adaptability is invaluable in ever-changing life scenarios.
Sustainable Living: Smaller spaces typically consume fewer resources, both in their construction and daily operation. This makes ADUs an environmentally friendly choice for those keen on reducing their carbon footprint.
Community Building: ADUs can help address housing shortages in dense urban areas. By providing affordable rental options, they contribute to community diversity and vitality.
Privacy with Proximity: For families looking to support relatives (like elderly parents or adult children), an ADU offers the perfect balance. Family members live close by, fostering connection and support, yet both parties maintain their privacy.
Cost-effective Expansion: Compared to the costs associated with buying a larger home or constructing a full-fledged home addition, ADUs often present a more economical solution to gaining extra living space.
Incorporating an ADU into one's property is not just about creating additional space but about unlocking a range of benefits that enhance both the financial and functional aspects of homeownership. As seen in Priority Remodeling's recent project, an ADU can also be a pinnacle of design and comfort, proving that with the right vision, even compact spaces can offer a grand living experience.
