Hello October

This week we welcomed October with a full moon and cooler temperatures, which means summer is coming to an end. There is so many reasons to love this time of year: smaller crowds, pumpkin latte’s, sweater season and bonfires! It’s a good time to grab a friend and head out to enjoy one of the many great events and festivals going on this Fall. Check out some of the events below to plan your next Fall outing.

October 7-8 – Riverfest. Celebrate Riverfest with vendors, artisans, music and fireworks that runs on Front Street in between Chestnut and Orange St. This is a long tradition, dating back to February 1979 where it was started in an effort to showcase historic downtown Wilmington and the Cape Fear River. To learn more visit Riverfest

September 30 – October 30 (weekends only) Up for some Halloween fun – check out The Cape Fear Chapel of Horrors which is located in The Bottleworks Building, which is where our office is also located. It’s put on by professional actors and will have special movie effects. Be prepared to get spooked. To get tickets visit Chapel of Horrors

As Fall quickly approaches it is time to also start thinking about the colder months and preparing for Winter. Now is a great time to start thinking about getting your roof inspected or better yet maybe get those gutters installed that you have been putting off. If you didn’t know by now, Patriot Roofing is not just a roofing company, we also are a licensed general contractor and can perform exterior repairs such as replacing rotted siding, soffit, fascia, windows, doors and gutters. Fall is a great time to clean up the yard and start sealing up the house for Winter while the weather is mild. And if you don’t like cleaning out your gutters we also offer gutter guards that shield from leaves, and those pesty pine needles. Feel free to call our office at 910-218-0600 to schedule an appointment with one of our project specialists or email us at [email protected]
