You9re probably ready
for a new roof
Riding to the rescue in
plumbing emergencies
By Jim Cornelius editor in chief

There are a lot of roofs in Sisters
Country that are ready for replace-
ment 4 whether the homeowners
realize it or not. A roof in this coun-
try realistically lasts from about 21
to 25 years. Old concrete tile roofs
or shake roofs are almost certainly at
the end of their life, and there are tell-
tale signs that your composite asphalt
shingles are giving out.
If you9re seeing <sand= in your
gutters or downspouts (a sign that
shingles are breaking down) or shiny
or white spots or curling ridges& it9s
time.
Getting your roof replaced at a
reasonable cost with quality materi-
als and workmanship means seeking
out a reliable company 4 like Elite
Roofing. They work with virtually
every kind of product and application,
and they have the experience to get
the job done quickly, efficiently 4
and to the highest standard.
<Most of our employees have been
with us for a really long time,= said
owner Jon Corbett.
That means each member of a
roofing crew knows his job. And that
makes a difference both in the quality
and consistency of the work and the
timeframe needed to complete it.
<I think you end up with a bet-
ter quality product in the long run,=
Plumbing emergencies don9t wait
for good times 4 they happen when
they happen, and homeowners need
someone they can rely on to help.
For more than a quarter-century,
that9s been Sweeney Plumbing.
<We try to come in and kind of
save the day when people are in
dire straits with plumbing and they
don9t know what to do,= said Zach
Sweeney, who is now the second
generation running the family busi-
ness. <If you need a plumber, usually
you need a quick response.=
Sweeney Plumbing has always
prided itself on treating everyone
from its nine employees to its cus-
tomers like family.
Sweeney Plumbing handles
everything from service calls to
complete plumbing on new homes
and commercial buildings. The crew
is very thorough in its work plumb-
ing a house, knowing that it9s more
than a job 4 they are often at work
on a family9s Sisters dream home.
The Sweeney Plumbing show-
room features fixtures from toilets
to tubs and sinks; kitchen and bath-
room faucets from all of the major
manufacturers like Delta, Kohler,
Moen and Grohe. Customers are
invited to peruse the showroom and
handle the merchandise to see what

Corbett said. <It doesn9t take quite as
long to get the job done.=
There9s no getting around the
fact that a tear-off is messy, but Elite
Roofing makes a point of being as
clean as possible through the job,
and a cleanup crew comes in at the
end with magnets to make sure there
are no stray nails laying around your
driveway.
Estimates are also efficient, using
computer modeling for measur-
ing, and a consultation will present
options for materials and warranty
coverage so the client can make an
informed decision.
Replacing a roof is a significant
and important project for a homeown-
er; it pays to seek out experience and
expertise so that you can get the work
done and not have to worry about it
for another couple of decades.
they like. If what9s on display in the
showroom isn9t enough of a selec-
tion, Sweeney has access to local
distributors9 showrooms and can
arrange a tour.
But it9s not the fixtures that make
Sweeney Plumbing what it is 4 it9s
an ethic of service and respect, hard
work and professionalism.
They make a point of respect-
ing the homes and properties where
they do their work. Each crew totes
a shop vac on their van for thorough
cleanup and they wear booties to
make sure they don9t track in. Under
current conditions, they are careful
to follow guidelines and maintain all
health protocols.
We try to be as clean
and efficient at
possible.
