HelloNation Article Featuring Commercial Roofing Expert Drew Nelson Explains How Seasonal Roof Seam Checks Extend Commercial Roof Life

Published

on

By

CATALINA FOOTHILLS, Ariz., June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The article outlines how routine seam inspections help commercial property owners prevent water damage and extend the performance of flat roofs.

How can commercial property owners extend the life of a flat roof system without major repairs or large expenses? A HelloNation article highlights advice from Drew Nelson, Commercial Roofing Expert and owner of Apex Roof Pros LLC in Catalina Foothills, on the one simple habit that often makes the biggest difference: regularly checking roof seams.

The article, How Seasonal Roof Seam Checks Extend Commercial Roof Life, explains how seasonal inspection of seams can help building owners and managers prevent water damage, slow wear, and protect their investment over time. These small, routine checks are especially valuable in Catalina Foothills, where heat and sun challenge the durability of flat roof systems year-round.

According to the HelloNation article, many property owners focus on the visible surface of a commercial roof or on the age of the membrane. But in practice, it’s often the seams and edges that show the first signs of stress. These seams connect the materials around parapet walls, rooftop units, and vent structures. When exposed to daily cycles of heat and cooling, especially in southern Arizona’s climate, these areas slowly loosen. Lifting seams can create small gaps that allow moisture in before any major surface issues appear.

The HelloNation feature explains how even a nearly invisible lift in a roof seam can start a chain reaction of problems. As water seeps beneath the membrane, it accumulates and weakens the underlying materials. By the time water damage becomes visible from the inside, the fix can be far more complex and costly. But the article emphasizes that a seasonal inspection can catch these early signs while the roof is still stable and repairs are simple.

Drew Nelson, featured in the article, notes that a seasonal inspection takes just a few minutes. Checking the joints and seams at the edges of a flat roof system gives the property owner a clearer sense of what’s changing over time. That awareness not only helps prevent surprises but also gives roofing professionals more accurate data when called in for scheduled maintenance. Seasonal inspections create a pattern of understanding that supports the long-term performance of any commercial roof.

In Catalina Foothills, where heat stress and occasional storms are constant concerns, staying ahead of roof-seam issues can make all the difference. The article describes how flat roof systems in this region often face added pressure, especially during temperature swings. The lifting of seams may happen slowly, but it is predictable. And that predictability makes seasonal inspection one of the easiest ways to extend the life of the entire roof structure.

The article reinforces that each roof wears in its own way, but roof seams are typically the first to show trouble. Regular inspection of these seams—done at least once per season can lead to earlier, easier repairs and better overall performance. For commercial property owners, this habit is an essential part of long-term planning and can extend a roof’s lifespan by years. It is always highly recommended to engage a qualified roof inspector with the following certifications: HAAG Commercial Inspector Certification, HAAG Residential Inspector Certification, and NRCIA Forensic Roof Inspector Certification.

InBloom Jewelry Marks One Year of FACETED Seminar Series, Celebrating Craft, Conversation, and the Art of Fine Jewelry in Downtown Frederick

Published

By

FREDERICK, Md. , June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — InBloom Jewelry is celebrating one year of FACETED, their free ongoing educational seminar series designed to bring clients, artists, and the broader community together through personal expression and the art of fine jewelry-making.

Held bimonthly in InBloom’s Downtown Frederick gallery at 100 E. Patrick Street—often on Frederick’s First Saturdays—FACETED sessions feature talks led by InBloom’s designers and bench jewelers alongside guest partners, followed by live demonstrations that offer a rare, up-close look at traditional and contemporary jewelry-making techniques.

FACETED is rooted in the belief that jewelry is more than a finished object in a case—it is a process, a craft, and a means of storytelling. Seminar topics from the series’ first year have ranged from technical deep-dives to creative process explorations, including:

The Ancient Art of GranulationRevealing the Light Within: Precision-Cut Gemstones (led by gem cutter Katie Walsh of Spectacle Gems)Japanese Mokume-GaneRepurposing with Creative IntentionWax & Wonder: The Art & Evolution of Lost Wax CastingEnduring Links: Past & Present Chainmaking

Together, these seminars have highlighted the breadth of techniques practiced in InBloom’s working studio—from centuries-old metal arts to modern digital tools—and have invited attendees to see how thoughtful design decisions and skilled craftsmanship shape each finished piece.

“FACETED is our way of opening the studio doors wider,” shares Stacey Krantz, InBloom’s founder and lead designer. “People are often surprised by how much handwork, experimentation, and collaboration goes into every custom piece. These events give our community a chance to sit at the bench with us, ask questions, and see that jewelry can be a deeply personal and enriching art form—not just something you buy off a shelf.”

Each FACETED session is designed to be intimate, conversational, and accessible. Guests have included InBloom clients, local and regional artists, and community members who are curious about jewelry-making techniques. The series offers a clear point of distinction from conventional retail jewelry, underscoring InBloom’s identity as a studio where design, handcraft, and storytelling come first.

Upcoming seminars include FACETED: Artistic CAD on Saturday, July 11, 2026 (3–5 pm), along with additional process‑focused talks scheduled throughout the year ahead. Registration details and the full schedule of past and planned FACETED seminars can be found on InBloom Jewelry’s events page.

Community members can learn more about the studio’s approach to custom jewelry, heirloom transformation, and handcrafted design at inbloomjewelry.com.

Images of the InBloom Jewelry FACETED seminars are available in our online media kit. Additional photos and video footage are available upon request.

Initial appointees, including Morgan Stanley Lead Director and former Thomson Reuters CEO Tom Glocer, bring wealth of expertise and experience across legal, financial, and business sectors

SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dialogica (“Dia”), the new, voice-first class of legal cognition built to empower lawyers to reclaim their time while preserving legal judgment, trust, and confidentiality, today announced appointees to its inaugural Board of Advisors.

The initial appointees are Tom Glocer, Scott C. Taylor, and Heath Ingram. In addition to serving as trusted personal mentors to Co-Founder and CEO Austin Worrell, and President Scott Joachim, these individuals bring a diverse wealth of experience and will advise Dialogica’s executive team as it moves forward with a human-first, empowered path for technology in the legal profession and beyond.

Tom Glocer, former CEO of Thomson Reuters Corp., will serve as Chairman. He currently serves as Executive Chair and Co-Founder of BlueVoyant Inc. and Capitolis Inc. and brings decades of legal experience, including as an M&A attorney at Davis Polk & Wardwell in New York, Paris, and Tokyo. He sits on the board of directors at Merck & Co., Morgan Stanley (Lead Director), Publicis Groupe, and other leading companies and nonprofits.

“The legal market has been flooded with AI tools claiming to automate legal research, contract drafting, and compliance, but none of these point solutions makes life much easier for the practicing attorney. Dia works seamlessly with other AI tools and, from a firm strategy perspective, it future-proofs their practice by facilitating plug-and-play orchestration of individual practice tools,” said Glocer. “From my first meeting when Scott introduced me to Austin and the team, I could see the potential. I’m proud to be part of Dialogica’s mission to help legal professionals maximize their time and complete the work that so many rely upon.”

Scott C. Taylor will serve as an Advisor and has been on the board of directors at Piper Sandler, a multinational investment bank and financial services company, since 2014. Additionally, he currently serves as a director of Ziff Davis, Inc., Emtrain, and Western Technology Investments. Previously, he was executive vice president, general counsel, and corporate secretary at Symantec Corporation (now NortonLifeLock, Inc.), a cybersecurity software and services company. Prior to that, he worked as chief administrative officer, senior vice president and general counsel of Phoenix Technologies Ltd.

Taylor said: “Upon first learning of Dialogica, I could not stop thinking of how big of a difference it would have made during my time as a practicing attorney. I’m honored to help make a difference in the lives of professionals moving forward.”

Heath Ingram will also serve as an Advisor. As Partner at Goodwin Procter, he focuses primarily on life sciences and healthcare companies, as well as venture capital and private equity firms focused on the healthcare industry. He is also Director of the firm’s Center for Market Access and Pricing, a center of excellence devoted to helping companies manage regulation, litigation, and enforcement across the drug supply chain and promoting access to medicine.

Ingram said: “As a Big Law attorney, Dialogica helps me on a daily basis to offload the administrative burden of legal practice, enabling me to direct my attention toward delivering for clients,” said Ingram.  

Additional appointees will be announced in the coming months. This announcement comes on the heels of Dialogica’s recent launch from stealth, as well as news of its partnership with leading AI knowledge work platform iManage, and represents continued momentum in its goal of freeing lawyers from rote work and helping them focus on what they do best.
