Do you need a new roof? Maybe you've noticed shingles on the ground, especially after these last storms we've had.

You need a roofer that knows what he's doing, someone with years of experience with asphalt roofing. Tony the Roofer - Anthony Simonetti is your company! 585-288-9310,

He will give you a fair estimate, will let you know exactly when they can start and how long it'll take. You'll probably be surprised and how efficient and up-front he is.

There won't be "Ah, well, we might get there next week, or the week after, it'll take a few weeks." Nope, not with Tony! And, get this, he doesn't require a deposit, yes, he expects payment upon completion. This is who you need!

What's the deal with getting a tornado in our area? We just can't chance being stuck without power if these storms continue to get worse each time. Generator Supercenter is ready for you! AND they have a great special going on, so just ask! This place is where to get a standby Generac Generator. They know their products and can help you select the best one for your house. You really need to go to their store to see what's available, get all the information you can to make an educated decision. Once you actually understand how important it is and how easy it is, the choice can be made. A Generac stand-by generator is the best, that's what Generator Supercenter has in stock, readily available to power your house.

They will do everything needed for the installation, then when the power goes out, YOU don't have to do a thing! It all happens automatically. As with a portable generator you have to make sure there's fuel so it can start, you have to disconnect from the main breaker so as not to mess everything up. You have to start it, usually they are pull start, we all know that can be hard to do. Especially if you're not home and someone else has to get it going. Then once the regular power comes back on the whole procedure is reversed. Turn it off, unplug, check breaker, drag it back inside, check the fuel to be ready to do it all over again. Get away from that, drive over to 1100 Jefferson Road, Rochester, 14623, just say "I'm here, help!"

The WHAM Home Repair Clinic September 2026 Newsletter

How did summer go by so fast and we're into September already. Let's hope we still get some warm - dry - days! Kids will be back to school. Teachers, too! Just remember school buses will be back. Pay attention to their lights if they stop - you must stop no matter how many lanes across you are. Keep your eye out for kids running out without looking.

With summer winding down, the thought goes to projects that didn't get done but now they need to be. We have a lot of great, locally owned companies for you to hire.

It's important to choose carefully and get multiple estimates, the cheapest price doesn't mean it's the best. Estimates are generally free from any contractor. When you do decide it's extremely important to have a detailed contract with a start and completion date. Yes, things happen but if so, an addendum should be written with any changes. Protect yourself. Be careful, too, about deposits, some companies don't require them but most do. Just don't fall for the contractor needing more money along the way, a little here and there to be able to continue the job. That screams poor management and unfortunately, problems.

Now is a good time to have Western New York Exterior Cleaning come out. They do power washing of your deck, patio, the exterior of your house to get rid of all the grim that's accumulated over the spring & summer. They clean your windows inside and outside! Wow, wouldn't that be nice! They even have interior cleaning, great to have things cleaned up before you get into all the holiday busy time. You know you just don't have time to do it all, and you don't have to! A call to Western New York Exterior Cleaning can get it all done for you! Maybe you can even schedule them to come back a few more times for touch ups and more jobs. Mark it off your to-do list! They also do commercial properties, perfect for landlords to keep their investments looking great!

Besides saving you time, they save you money by not having to purchase all the equipment you would need to do your exterior cleaning! 585-775-8900

A locally owned company right here in Webster, with local employees!

We, at Jim Salmon Home Inspections get calls for inspections after people have closed on their new-to-them house. They were pressured to sign off beforehand. Big mistake for you, the buyer. So, now, during the home inspection a lot of issues are discovered. costly ones. You, the buyer, has extended your credit, paid too much for the house, used up all your savings to get this house and now you're finding out there are repairs that NEED to be done. If you had known about these issues before closing you could have negotiated, planned or walked away. Somethings are for safety, some to protect you, some - like a roof, to prevent further damage. Home inspectors don't make up problems with the house, they find and document them.

Many people who are looking to buy may have only walked through this house for a few minutes, then were basically, pressured to pay as much as possible to get that house. No time to think, no time to get an inspection, no time to really look past how cute the porch is. If you're looking to buy a house, insist on a home inspection to cover you and your money.

There is and has been a bill presented to NYS Legislature to protect you, the buyer (and in the long run, the seller). Click here to read about it and why it is so very important. NYRTHI.ORG

Rotary Club’s Next Drive-thru Food Drive is Sept. 5

The Rotary Club of Pittsford’s next monthly drive-thru food drive is scheduled Saturday (Sept. 5) 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. The cupboard accepts all non-perishable food items but current needs include corned beef hash; Spam; ketchup and relish; chicken broth; bread crumbs; taco shells; jam or jelly (smaller sizes); facial tissues; and any cleaning supplies.

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.

Additional information is available at pittsfordrotaryclub.org. These are held every month on the first Saturday.

Invisible Fence for your dog &/or cat!

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 15:59:19 +0000

We know Invisible Fence Brand keeps our dogs safe, but did you know they have a system for cats, too? It may be a little trickier with these little independent creatures but Invisible Fence Brand trainers can work with you and your purring friend. Let's say you want to keep them off the counter or out of a particular room, they will set it up that way. Or, you can let them outside but keep them contained so they're safe, that can be done too!

At Jim Salmon's house he had Invisible Fence Brand install for his dog, Willy-Buddy, keeping this boy from taking off after a squirrel! The installer/trainer, Jake was so easy to work with and patient! He taught the dog, and especially, Jim how it all works and what signals pup will react and how. Training the owner is more important than training the pet, consistency is first. You do need to work with your pet a few times a day, every day so they 'get' it. If it seems to be stressing them out, simply cut back a bit. Don't worry your trainer will tell you the things to look for and what to do.

Corrosion Pro Plus for cars, trucks, boats, and more!

Tue, 18 Aug 2026 19:36:34 +0000

Corrosion Pro Plus has been known for spray bed liners for trucks, but they can also spray trailers, especially flatbed, utility, even dump beds. Why? To prevent them rusting out & to extend its' usefulness. Doesn't that make sense?

Another service: Corrosion Pro Plus can apply Waxoyl to your vehicles to protect them for up to 10 years! One of the most important things, you don't have to take it back every year to get it touched up or re-done. It's a one-time application.

They don't force you to upsell or have more products done to your vehicle that may not be needed. A friend of Jim Salmon's brought their new car to Corrosion Pro Plus, told them to "do it all". Do you know what Corrosion Pro Plus told them? You don't need 'this' or 'that', just one or two products. They easily could have done those other things and charged more, they didn't. And they, also, didn't know they were friends with Jim!

Corrosion Pro Plus has pricing right on their website. Obviously if you're bringing a boat or trailer some prices will be adapted to what needs done, but they won't overcharge you. 585-235-7878

Are you going to have a new house built?

Tue, 18 Aug 2026 14:19:59 +0000

May we recommend you contact The Metal Roof Outlet. Having them install a metal roof from day 1 will guarantee you won't need to worry or even think about your roof for oh, maybe 50 years. They are experienced, the owners, Bill & Trevor have been working metal roofing since they were teenagers. That's their life, and goal is to provide the best metal roof installation possible so their customers are completely over-the-top happy with their new roof. They also provide gutter installations to properly install to co-ordinate with the roof. A new service is metal siding, no, it won't look like a shed. This metal siding, similiar to the roofing material looks fantastic. It has a neat, clean look that lasts. Unlike paint it doesn't need to be 're-done' in a few years, and unlike vinyl which fades and cracks, this metal siding will look just as good in years as it does at installation.

So when building a new house, this saves you money long term. Call The Metal Roof Outlet 585-703-4982 or first take a look on their website.

Just for an idea of all the various products and installs they've done check out their gallery;

Especially when Everblak Paving is a local company serving all of our area? Since 2002, that's definitely a great paving company being in business that long!

We've had a lot of rain lately, have your gutters done their job? Maybe it's time to have them cleaned and inspected by All County Gutter. During the spring the wind blows leaves, pollen, especially the cottonwood mess. These clog up gutters pretty quickly along with sticks, roof aggregate, dirt, don't forget, rodent activity. All County Gutter does gutter cleaning and maintainence, repairs, installs. If there are cracks or creases in your gutters they're not working properly. If they're too small they can't handle all the water, especially if they're clogged the water pours over the sides. Then it runs along your foundation seeping into the ground and into your basement!

That causes such a chain of events; water flow, standing water, ruining items sitting on the basement floor, mildew and mold begin very quickly. It becomes a nightmare to deal with. Avoid that now, be pro-active, call All County Gutter 585-538-4226 or visit their website to book an appointment! We highly recommend them, Jim Salmon has hired All County Gutter many many times for various buildings he has. They do such a good job, plus they won't steer you wrong!

Van Bortel Ford for your fleet of work trucks!

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 15:23:06 +0000

John Welch has bought multiple work trucks from Van Bortel. Over the years that he has been in business with John Welch Ent. he has searched various dealers, he found the best one to be Van Bortel. Great prices, terrific service, no run-around, they could provide him the trucks he needed. He's been very loyal to Van Bortel and they to him. As it turned out, Jim Salmon's family has also purchased vehicles from Van Bortel without knowing about John's experience. They also found the best deal, treated right, service dept. was on top of things, no upcharging or pushing needing more. Many people dread taking a vehicle in for service because they get told another issue must be dealt with immediately. Whether it really does or not! Van Bortel service doesn't do that, if they do find something, they will let you know if it's urgent or you have months or years!

Jim bought his 2025 F-150 Ford truck from Van Bortel, as you may have heard. It's exactly what he needs for work, and even more! It's a hybrid which he wasn't sure about, but he loves it! He was concerned about the gas tank size, not to worry, the truck automatically switches from gas to electric and back as needed for best efficiency. And it self-charges!

So visit Van Bortel Ford for your new or used vehicle. 71 Marsh Road, E. Rochester, 14445.
