Class A Rated Folsom, CA Roofing Systems Protect Homes from Wildfires

The Yancey Family, Serving Sacramento Since 1888

A Los Angeles Times article published on January 18, 2014, describes the preventive steps the State of California has taken to contain forest fires, which have been exacerbated by recent dry conditions. The following excerpt provides more information:

“The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has responded to 150 wildfires so far. During the same period last January, there were none, and the historic average is 25.

Fire officials pointed to coastal fires in Humboldt and San Mateo counties in the last two weeks as examples of the conditions they’re facing. The Humboldt fire spread across 333 acres in four days, shocking firefighters because the region is usually damp with rain at this time of year.

Across California, vegetation that typically rehydrates with rain between December and April continues to get dryer and more dangerous. The fires so far this winter have been relatively moderate compared with some of the state’s largest, but officials worry that the fires will get worse as the fuel gets even dryer.”

The unusual summer-like conditions the state is currently experiencing has put a lot of households in great danger. One measure Californians can observe is to be careful on the roads. Campers should practice safe towing, and avoid dragging chains on the roads that will throw sparks on dry vegetation.

Campers are also advised to check their tire pressure, as driving on exposed wheel rims will also throw sparks. Homeowners can safeguard their homes from future wildfires by having Class A rated Folsom, CA roofing systems installed on their homes. Contractors from reputable companies like Yancey Home Improvements can install systems like GAF’s Weather Stopper 3-Part Roof Protection System.

According to experienced contractors from roofing companies in Elk Grove, GAF’s Weather Stopper 3-Part Roof Protection System has an effective leak barrier and offers enhanced roof deck protection. All GAF shingles carry a Class A fire rating, and are installed with adhesives that seal each shingle and reduce the risk of shingle blow-off. Interested homeowners should talk with trusted roofers to get their roofing systems replaced.

“I need a total bathroom remodel, and everyone at Yancey has been a delight to work with. All my questions have been answered, the choices of materials were abundant, and Scott guided us expertly through the process one step at a time. I would highly recommend them!”

Laura Powell

“Yancey was awesome to work with. My estimator was Brian Speaks, and he made the entire experience simple and enjoyable for us. There was no high pressure sales, and Brian went out of his way to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and needed. His pricing was fair, and he helped us get financing right on the spot. If I would provide more than 5 stars, I would.”

Ryan Calderwood

“Tommy was very helpful in explaining the roofing process and itemizing the pricing. He was upfront and honest about policy and interpreting the contract for my mother and I. We are a house full of women and we are always worried about being taken advantage of price-wise but we were not treated that way. Thank you for the excellent service and stunning new roof!”

Caroline H

“I chose Yancey for my reroof because of their business longevity. They've run into every situation imaginable and Brian addressed these concerns in the contract. Being told in advance is an explanation, being told after the fact is an excuse. They gave no excuses. The team working was always on time and did exceptional quality work with dry rot repair. The roof looks great and I expect it to work well for years to come.”
