Bend, Oregon, is a special place to live, work, and play.<\/p>\n

If you live here, you already know that. If you’re thinking of moving here… I don’t blame you.<\/p>\n

For homeowners and business owners, though, Bend’s weather and location can cause special problems. When you live in Bend, you “ain’t in Kansas anymore.”<\/p>\n

We’re at over 3,600 feet in elevation. The weather can go from hot and dry to cold and wet in hurry. Those rapid swings can lead to all sorts of structural issues.<\/p>\n

Mold can be toxic. It can cause severe respiratory problems, especially in those with underlying allergies.<\/p>\n

How can you prevent mold in your home or workplace?<\/p>\n

Take a tip from the EPA: It’s all about moisture control<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the EPA’s 10 tips for mold control:<\/p>\n

Okay, I’m not trying to scare you. My aim is to warn you. You don’t want a “sick house,” you came to Bend for a healthy atmosphere. You came here to prosper. And you made a wise decision. Bend is blessed.<\/p>\n

At Old Town Roofing and Construction, we aim to be different — by being the ones who most care about YOU!<\/p>\n
