You get a little concern about the emergency stuff just because it&#8217;s going to be harder and harder to get to as time goes by,&#8221; Jeff Premo, owner of Premo Roofing, said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"3\">The company added that customers are raising awareness about the potential severity of this year&#8217;s El Ni\u00f1o.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"4\">&#8220;I think my customers are putting a scare in me in regards to how busy we&#8217;re going to be because they are the ones pointing out quite often that they&#8217;re hearing about a big El Ni\u00f1o year,&#8221; Premo said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"5\">To prepare for the season, Premo Roofing emphasized the importance of readiness.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"6\">&#8220;It&#8217;s just a matter of having our men on call, having all the materials, tarps, all the things we need this time of year to be able to take care of people,&#8221; Premo said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"7\">The company also advised homeowners to act quickly to address any existing issues.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"8\">&#8220;Maybe have the roof evaluated. If they are aware of a current leak or issue that they&#8217;ve been addressing, try to get that done as soon as possible,&#8221; Premo said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"9\">They warned that small problems could escalate during heavy rains. &#8220;It takes a small leak that all of a sudden becomes a big leak because it&#8217;s just non-stop,&#8221; Premo said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"10\">Some residents have already taken steps to protect their homes. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"11\">One homeowner shared their approach, Douglas Kasunich, saying, &#8220;Over the years I let my house pretty much revert back to natives, and I have natives growing everywhere. I have good ground cover from natives, and natives are particularly resistant to erosion and flooding.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"12\">Others expressed skepticism about the potential impact of El Ni\u00f1o.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"13\"> &#8220;Well, pay attention to the weather would be one thing, but it might be getting hyped up a little bit,&#8221; one resident said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Central Coast roofing companies see increased demand as El Ni\u00f1o approaches Roofing companies in California are experiencing a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[140258,7,9,8,185416,9182,14775,10648,644,285,5179,2022,185415,288,42093,4610,315,72],"class_list":["post-471451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-big-issue","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-california-roofing-company","tag-customer","tag-demand","tag-el-nino","tag-flooding","tag-homeowner","tag-importance","tag-native","tag-premo-roofing","tag-resident","tag-service-call","tag-thing","tag-time","tag-year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
