Storm Damage - by CIS Steeplejack


Storm damage is the destructive effect of ice, lightning, rain and wind caused by storms and other inclement weather such as hurricanes, ice storms and tornadoes.


Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens announced Thursday that statewide damage from Monday’s deadly storms will cost an estimated $50 million. At least six storm-related deaths were reported following thunderstorms and high winds that toppled trees and power lines across Georgia. According to the National Weather Service, a tornado touched down in Eastman.

Spire & Cupola Restoration & Repairs


Spires are traditionally white, which is a carryover from the American colonial times when wood and labor were plentiful, says the Religious Products News website. Metal was scarce in the early colonies, but wood was abundant. Wooden structures typically were whitewashed for protection, along with any cornice or trimmings. This same tradition applied to church towers. The biggest drawback of wooden church steeples was that they became weather-beaten over time. But labor was easily available and affordable to the early American settlers, and church congregations could afford the frequent maintenance on their wooden spires and cupolas.

Steeple Roofing Contractor by CIS Steeplejack

There comes a time when patching and repairing cant not be performed anymore. When working on steeples, cupolas, bell towers and other high to reach areas,"band-aid" type work is commonly found easy to do. - WE DO IT RIGHT.

"Though it has been maintained and painted over the years, CIS Steeplejack recommendations and keen eye for detail and knowledge of what needed to be done was the most positive thing I've heard and seen in many years as the chairperson of our Properties Committee. My knowledge of the Steeple, its make-up, its history and maintenance goes back 30 years. It was refreshing to not only talk to someone who knows what to do, but see the work first hand being done step-by-step as you took me and anyone up to see the progress. Nothing was disguised or hidden. In the situation of steeple repairs, a quick fix would be easy to hide. This sure was not the case at Parma-South!"

In architecture, a cupola (pronounced /ˈkjuːpələ/) is a small, most-often dome -like structure, on top of a building. Often used to provide a lookout or to admit light and air, it usually crowns a larger roof or dome.The word derives, via Italian, from the lower Latin cupula (classical latin cupella from the greek κύπελλον kupellon) small cup (Latin cupa) indicating a vault resembling an upside down cup. Cupolas often appear as small buildings in their own right. They often serve as a belfry, lantern, or belvedere above a main roof. In other cases they may crown a tower, spire, or turret. The chhatri, seen in Indian architecture, fits the definition of a cupola when it is used atop a larger structure.

The cupola is a development of the oculus, an ancient device found in roman architecture, but with the cupola being weatherproof it is superior for the wetter climates of northern Europe, which were influential during the Renaissance.
