ABERDEEN, N.C., Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — How much does roof replacement cost in the Sandhills?

HelloNation has published the answer in an article that explains the key pricing factors, featuring insights from Roofing Expert Cutler Creed of Creed & Garner Roofing Company Inc. in Aberdeen, NC.

The HelloNation article explains that roof replacement cost depends on several variables beyond just square footage. Homeowners in the Sandhills must consider roof size, roofing materials, tear-off complexity, ventilation, flashing, and potential decking repairs when estimating total expenses.

Roof size is one of the most significant contributors to roof replacement cost. Larger roofs require more roofing materials and labor, while complex layouts with multiple slopes or valleys increase installation time. The article notes that steep roofs can further raise roof replacement cost due to additional safety measures and specialized equipment.

Tear-off complexity is another major factor. Removing existing layers of roofing materials can reveal underlying issues that require decking repairs. The article explains that damaged decking must be addressed before installation, adding to roof replacement cost but ensuring long-term durability.

Material choice also plays a critical role in determining roof replacement cost. Asphalt shingles are the most common and cost-effective option, offering reliable performance and versatility. In contrast, metal roofing provides enhanced durability and longevity but comes with a higher upfront investment. Selecting between asphalt shingles and metal roofing depends on budget, aesthetics, and long-term goals.

Flashing and ventilation are essential components that influence both cost and performance. Proper flashing protects vulnerable areas from leaks, while effective ventilation helps regulate temperature and moisture. The article highlights that upgrading flashing and ventilation systems may increase roof replacement cost but improves the lifespan and efficiency of the roof.

Decking repairs can significantly impact pricing if structural issues are discovered. The article notes that addressing compromised decking during replacement ensures a solid foundation for new roofing materials and prevents future problems. Including potential decking repairs in the estimate helps homeowners avoid unexpected costs.

Additional expenses such as labor, disposal, and permits also contribute to roof replacement cost. Removing old roofing materials and disposing of them properly adds to the total, while permit requirements vary depending on the scope of the project. Understanding these factors helps homeowners in the Sandhills plan realistic budgets.

Environmental conditions in the Sandhills can also affect roofing decisions. Exposure to heat, storms, and humidity makes durability and proper installation critical. Choosing high-quality roofing materials, along with proper flashing and ventilation, helps ensure long-term protection.

Throughout the discussion, the article presents insights from a Roofing Expert perspective, emphasizing that evaluating roof size, roofing materials, ventilation, flashing, and decking repairs is essential to understanding roof replacement cost. A professional inspection provides the most accurate estimate.

The article concludes that roof replacement cost in the Sandhills is influenced by roof size, asphalt shingles or metal roofing selection, ventilation, flashing, and decking repairs. By understanding these factors, homeowners can make informed decisions that balance cost, durability, and long-term value.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Integrated Water Services (IWS), an industry leader in specialized industrial and municipal water, wastewater and filtration solutions, announced today that it has officially changed its corporate name to Veyra (pronounced VAY-ruh). The comprehensive rebrand includes a new corporate identity, modern visual hierarchy, and an upgraded digital platform, launching live at WEFTEC 2026, in New Orleans.

The name Veyra is inspired by the Latin vera and pura—meaning true, pure, and authentic—with the dynamic root vey, representing conveyance and continuous flow. Anchored by the company’s new tagline “Purity by Design,” the elevated brand signals the company’s strategic transformation from legacy field construction into a cohesive, technology-first solutions platform.

Central to the new visual identity is Veyra’s logo icon, which features a fluid, three-dimensional Möbius strip. The Möbius form was chosen to communicate circularity—serving as a visual metaphor for water being continuously recovered, treated, reused, and returned to the ecosystem. The seamless, infinite loop encapsulates Veyra’s focus on sustainable water reclamation and advanced process filtration.

“Veyra represents the purity of our engineering, the velocity of our growth, and our focus on solving our customers’ toughest filtration, water and wastewater challenges,” said Cody Phipps, Chief Executive Officer. “Over the past three years, we’ve rapidly expanded our proprietary technologies and integrated key acquisitions to deliver capabilities no single company in this space has had before. Veyra is the name our clients’ next generation of solutions deserves.”

What’s changing — and what isn’t:

One Company, Specialized Brands: Veyra creates a unified corporate platform for M|MBR Systems, Complete Filtration Resources, Tetrasolv, KLa Systems, and Advanced Equipment & Services Inc., while preserving the specialized expertise, customer relationships and market identity of each business.One Integrated Portfolio: Veyra brings advanced MBR systems, modular wastewater infrastructure, specialized filtration, aeration systems, and aftermarket services together under one strategic architecture.A More Connected Customer Experience: Veyra’s new digital platform provides centralized access to technical documentation, engineering resources, solution information and lifecycle support, making it easier for customers and partners to engage with capabilities across the portfolio.

“Our commitment to clients and partners remains absolute,” said John Rigas, Chairman and CEO of Sciens Water. “As Veyra, the company is sharpening its commercial edge and giving its teams a brand that matches the sophistication of what they deliver.”

Veyra will debut its new identity at Booth #335 at WEFTEC this week, and online at www.goveyra.com.

The Cosmos Tokenization Suite gives financial institutions access to capabilities like 24/7 cross-border payments by integrating with key networks like Swift’s blockchain-based ledger.

NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cosmos helps banks and financial institutions connect their core ledger to EVM and Hyperledger Besu environments, such as the one powering Swift’s blockchain-based shared ledger, to support use cases like 24/7 cross-border payments.

The Cosmos Tokenization Suite gives banks the infrastructure to stand up their own tokenized deposit ledgers, synchronize them with existing cores, like Fiserv, FIS, Jack Henry, Temenos, and Hogan, and connect them with networks like Swift’s ledger, Canton, Partior, Ethereum, Solana, and more. Swift’s ledger provides secure messaging and orchestration, while the Cosmos platform gives financial institutions a seamless path to move customer funds across counterparties.

Building on that foundation, Cosmos accelerates three key areas for banks participating in the Swift pilot. The first is integration between core banking systems and digital ledgers, including EVM and Hyperledger-based environments, like Swift’s ledger. It also accelerates interoperability across networks and counterparties and, in the future, will support engagement with correspondent banks to enable broader participation.

“For our clients, this is about helping them connect their core ledger to external networks via their existing infrastructure and relationships. Banks need to offer customers 24/7 payments and real-time treasury experiences. Cosmos offers the connectivity to make that possible across counterparties, starting now,” said Maghnus Mareneck, Co-CEO, Cosmos.

Beyond payments, the Cosmos Tokenization Suite unlocks a broader set of use cases, such as real-time treasury management, instant cash sweeps, and programmable money flows.

Swift’s ledger provides a secure orchestration layer that enables 24/7 cross-border payments using tokenized deposits, while keeping those deposits on banks’ balance sheets and preserving the benefits of commercial bank money. With Cosmos, the tokenized deposits remain on the issuing bank’s ledger; Swift’s ledger securely orchestrates the movement of funds between participating institutions, including overnight and on weekends, before completing final settlement through existing systems.

Today, value equivalent to global GDP moves across the Swift network every two to three days, and 75% of transactions on Swift already reach the end bank within ten minutes. The addition of a blockchain-based ledger to Swift’s infrastructure does not alter its role as a global financial messaging network. Final settlement continues through agreed mechanisms, including real-time gross settlement systems. This allows banks to extend payment availability beyond traditional operating hours while retaining their existing settlement arrangements.

The MVP of Swift’s ledger was developed in collaboration with more than 40 financial institutions globally. Seventeen first-mover financial institutions are now putting it into practice, piloting tokenized deposit transactions across a range of use cases. The initiative builds on the Swift co-operative’s global reach of more than 12,500 financial institutions and corporates across over 200 markets.
