Tony the Roofer - values matter 585-288-9310

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 16:05:22 +0000

If you have experienced roofing contractors that require half the cost of the job as a downpayment, you've got the wrong one. Tony the Roofer doesn't do that, in fact, no deposit, you pay in full when completed.That means trust, in you, in them. At Tony the Roofer the job is done right, from the beginning it's explained what's going on, when the start and completion will be, you'll be informed! Experience in products and installation is another key factor in Tony the Roofer. Sure you can get estimates but be careful, some contractors make it seem very reasonable, at first, but they leave things out, then during the job slip it in, leaving the balance due higher than originally agreed. So their estimate wasn't so good after-all. Also, keep in mind, any changes at all to the original job must have an addendum to the contract. Word of mouth is not binding no matter how 'nice' they are. You won't get those games with Tony the Roofer.

Under new management with long-time employees, same values! 585-288--9310

And cold weather is getting here. It's actually more necessary than any appliance you have. Without a stand-by generator none of your appliances will work! It's that simple. The refrigerator, loss of all that food, can't use the washer & dryer, you know. Especially important if you or a family member relies on power for medical equipment, definitely not something that you can chance.

The WHAM Home Repair Clinic October 2026 Newsletter

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 20:28:49 +0000

Here we are, October! Nights have definitely been much cooler, days crisp! There is a lot to love about fall.

The leaves changing color, take the time for a nice drive to enjoy them - it's a relatively short window of opportunity!

Apple season at it's best! Pumpkins galore!

Maybe we can get through the fall without all the rain. Haunted houses and hay rides to get your heart pounding! Corn mazes.

Then preparation for the holidays, which brings us to many of our local businesses can help you with getting your house in shape!

First, let's start out, if you're buying a house, get a home inspection before closing! Put that contingency in the offer and hold your ground. We hear the nightmares after the fact for those that signed off on a home inspection. Very sad. Buyers protection is not a priority. Buyers are pressured to sign off on the inspection which could help the buyer. A home inspection gives you the condition of the house. Every house has issues but there are important ones that you should be aware of. Many times it could be extremely costly if you get in a house and find out afterwards. That roof leak, the ceiling happened to be freshly painted to cover the evidence. Or you were told " oh the roof is fine, was just upgraded" without paperwork to show for it. And the basement was also freshly painted with a brand new rug, how nice. How to cover water damage & floor cracks, is what that's about. Air freshener smelled so good. covering over the musty or pet odors. There are all kinds of tricks, be aware, be informed, get a home inspection. The price of a home inspection is far less than a new roof or foundation issues, new furnace system, things you really need to know about and have documented.

We were made aware that there are realtors bragging that they haven't had any home inspections in 4-6 years. Wow, not the best interest of their clients.

Call Jim Salmon for a thorough inspection including explanations to understand what's going on with that house. 585-589-5650

On JimSalmon.com we have a lot of information especially about our local businesses. We do a quick article daily and post on the website as well as facebook & social medias. Each article can be found daily on JimSalmon.com and all on one page at the top "Today's Articles" click to see them.

Pets, are near and dear to our hearts. So many of us view them as a family member, probably a very loved, spoiled family member! Rightfully so! They are as good for us as we should be for them. Mostly their life is simple, needs; shelter, food, love, to be properly cared for, vet visits to maintain their health. BUT, there is a major problem going on that maybe you're not aware of. Strays and dumped animals to fend for themselves in strange, unfamiliar areas with no food, no water, no anything. It's awful how some people are dumping animals, in bags or boxes alongside a busy roadway. Yes, that happens, too often. Some are lucky enough that someone took an extra minute to look in that box or bag to save them. Sometimes people take them to deserted section of a road and simply throw them out the car door or window and speed away. How absolutely terrifying for that poor pet, hopefully they weren't injured. All the shelters and rescues are overflowing. They get so many calls every single day to help a found or abandoned animal. They all try to help but because they can only take in so many and they don't have the funds - they just can't take in anymore. This situation has gotten worse. What can you do? Reach out to a rescue or shelter, ask what they need. Supplies? Money is always needed to pay vet care. You can even call their vet and over the phone, pay toward their vet bills with your credit card. Send money or visit their website for links to their needed supply list. You can follow their Amazon or Chewy.com link, select what they need, pay, and it can get delivered right to them. Please help. Or better yet, adopt a new friend or two.

Over the years, all the pets in the Salmon family have been rescues.

While we're on the subject of pets, especially for Halloween,

keep your pet secured in another part of the house so they don't get scared and run away.

Time for fall clean up! Ugh, you're running out of time to get your yard done. Well, not if you call John Welch Ent. 585-924-4488! They can send a crew over to get it all done in one day. You leave for work and come home to all the gardens weeded, edged & mulched. The bushes trimmed, leaves raked, overall a transformation from what you left in the morning! Done. Now your yard looks great for your fall parties and Thanksgiving! If you hurry you might still be able to get a paver walkway installed, wow that'll look fantastic!

Talk with John Welch about some plans for spring to get hardscape work done. That patio area can look beautiful again, including a nice firepit. The options are endless, between you and John's designers your dream area can be brought to reality.

John Welch, co-host of The WHAM Home Repair Clinic, runs a terrific company, he is very proud of his business that he started and grew to what it is today. John is very knowledgeable about landscaping and hardscape so much so that he tours the country teaching to other landscape companies! Sharing what he has learned over the years with others.

It sure makes sense to have insulation with our winters, doesn't it? Do you have an older house? There's a good chance the insulation isn't working the way it should. It may have gotten wet or absorbed moisture, causing it to "shrink" or become saturated with water, making it much less effective.

You can give Coler Insulation a call at 585-217-9069 and have all that old insulation removed and replaced with spray foam insulation. Spray foam is much more efficient, and because it's sprayed in, it fills cracks and crevices, preventing wind from seeping through.

It also doesn't need to be 3 or 4 inches thick. It goes on thin and then expands, providing much better insulation coverage.

Coler Insulation can check out what you currently have and recommend the best insulation for your home. They also install other types of insulation.

Some of the prime locations to check are the attic and band joist areas. Many times, people complain that they feel a draft, but it could be coming from an unsealed band joist area. Once it's properly sealed, wow—the difference can be instant!

Another area to look at is the windows. Usually, the installation was poor, allowing airflow, or the caulking has dried out and broken apart, opening up small sections where wind can penetrate into the house. Sometimes, you can actually see the curtains blowing when it's that bad.

An experienced, locally owned and operated Coler Insulation is the best. 585-217-8069 or visit their website;

Yikes! While we're talking about the upcoming winter let's not forget about our vehicles! The salt can do some serious damage to them.

Speaking of Jim's truck, 2025 F-150 Ford Pick up from Van Bortel Ford which he loves. Of course, he needed to get it wrapped with his home inspection and Home Repair Clinic Show information. After researching for the best company he found Mobile Graphics ane what a masterpiece they did for him! We also took a tour of their offices and shops, what a fun environment!

Rotary Club’s Next Drive-thru Food Drive is OCTOBER 3

The Rotary Club of Pittsford’s next monthly drive-thru food drive is scheduled Saturday (October. 3) from 9 am to noon at the Pittsford Sutherland High School bus loop. Rotarians and Interact Club members will be collecting at the drive rain or shine.

Donations will support the Pittsford Food Cupboard and the Nazareth University Oak Tree Food Pantry.

The Pittsford Food Cupboard plays a crucial role in addressing food insecurity within our community. Donations help ensure that local families have access to essential food items and will promote well-being and stability. See the cupboard’s list of current needs.

The Oak Tree Pantry serves those with food insecurity in the Nazareth community. The pantry has an ongoing need for granola bars, pasta, peanut butter, soap and other hygiene products.

The drive also will collect donations of gently used, current magazines for distribution to area human service organizations. The club conducts the drives the first Saturday of the month all year with an occasional change of date to avoid holiday and event conflicts.
