Palomar Mountain News

For the past 5 years + when folks on Palomar have needed a new roof, most have used Pollie Varona. We just counted up that he and his crew have installed over 30 roofs up here, including ours. Pollie was up yesterday finishing a project on Crestline and popped by asking if we would like ours serviced. Of course!

They start by blowing off all the debris and then checking areas of penetration; all vents and chimneys. They removed old caulking and replaced it with new. He showed me photos of rust around a chimney and used a special product to protect that area until we get it replaced. They cleaned our gutters, did some repairs, recalked around windows where needed and touched up with paint we had tucked away. Pollie also pointed out work a company did that recently installed a dish so a sports fan I know can keep up on the games. Alas, they installed their cable on top of the shingles and then secured it across a valley on the roof! Anytime you penetrate a roof, you are asking for leaking. The proper way is to run cable along the facia and not penetrate the roof shingles at all. He patched all the holes from under the shingles and has everything set for the next home run or touch down or what ever it may be.

Does this sound like something you’d like to have done? Simply call or text:  Pollie Varona 760-519-0697
