Expert advice from ComfortEagle Roofing owner Stephanie HaighWhat experiences prompted you to start your own
business? People ask me all the time “How’d a nice girl
like you end up in the roofing business?” It’s easy… my dad
wanted a boy. I spent the first 20 years of my life living and
breathing construction before I raged
against the machine and decided to go
to college. I got my degree in Business
Administration with a minor in Marketing.
Went on to get my Project Management
Professional certification while working
for CH2M Hill. When dad started talking
about retirement, I found myself in the
unique position to use my experiences
and get back to doing what I had grown
to love. Absence does make the heart grow fonder. We
moved the company to Kennesaw, Georgia and have been
improving the community ever since.
How long has ComfortEagle Roofing been in business?
We have over 20 years of combined experience in roofing
and construction.
How do you determine if a roof needs a simple repair
or a complete roof? There are so many factors that
go into the decision to repair or re-roof. How old is the
roof? What type of shingles are currently on the roof?
What type of damage has it sustained? Has the roof been
maintained? There are companies out there that will pull
a digital satellite image of the roof from their office and
send out quotes. We don’t do that. You wouldn’t want
your doctor to diagnose you as terminal without running
tests. So why would you want a roofer who has never been
on your roof to determine the extent of repairs needed.
Each one of our roof inspections comes with a video roof
analysis so our homeowners can see first hand the extent
of the damage. Based on our findings we work with the
homeowner to determine what is best for them and their
budget.
How can homeowners prolong the
life of their roof?
Experts recommend having your roof
inspected by a roofing professional
twice a year to help prolong the life of
your roof. Removing debris and other
materials from your roof and regular
gutter cleaning can help you prevent
costly interior damage. ComfortEagle
is the only roofing company to offer maintenance programs
that help homeowners protect their investment. Why
wait for damages to occur when a simple and affordable
maintenance plan can prolong the life of your roof and
avoid the nightmares and headaches caused by expensive
interior damages.
Is there an advantage to using a specific type of
shingle? Architectural shingles are going to put roofers out
of business. Not only do they improve property values by 5
to 7% but they can be warrantied for up to 50 years.
What about the design aspect? Can ComfortEagle
help the home owner choose a color and style of the
shingle to best complement the house? ComfortEagle,
LLC is continually improving communities one roof at a time.
We are happy to provide suggestions, but our homeowners
do not have to take our word for it. Each of our inspections
comes with a 3D rendering of their home. Thanks to recent
advancements in technology, homeowners can try on
different shingles and accessories available for your home
with just the click of a button. https://beacon.hover.to/
shared/sPyormWbhp_D2gAcQkVq
When it comes to storm damage, can ComfortEagle
help the home owner negotiate with the insurance
company and or arrange financing? ComfortEagle
has years of experience working with most insurance
companies. We help homeowners get everything they
deserve from their insurance providers. We take the hassle
out of filing a claim. The insurance adjusters know that
when ComfortEagle calls, it’s for good reason. We will
not waste the homeowner’s or the adjusters time by filing
claims unless we can prove that the damage to the roof was
caused by an Act of God.
How long does it typically take for ComfortEagle
Roofing to schedule the roofing repair or replacement?
This really depends on the homeowner and the extent
of the damage. Once the decision is made to move
forward with the roofing project, a foreman is assigned to
the homeowner. We schedule a time for the foreman to
meet the homeowner and review the project. This is an
opportunity for us to ensure that we have all the necessary
materials and equipment needed for their individual project.
This helps us minimize delays during the installation. Once
the materials are ordered, and the job is scheduled, we put
the roof on in 1-2 days depending on the size of your home.
What type of warranties apply to the new roof and is
Comfort Eagle licensed and insured? ComfortEagle is
licensed and insured with a Certified Project Management
Professional overseeing every project. We are blessed to be
able to offer extended warranties to our homeowners. As
Certified Shingle Installers we can provide our homeowners
with additional protection in the form of 20-year and 50-
year transferrable warranties on our installations.

PRO TIPS:
Size: Larger rooms can handle furnishings and decor that
are larger in scale. Smaller rooms can display more petite or
delicate furnishings.
Furnishings: The focal furniture in the room sets the
stage for the scale of the other furnishings. For example, an
overstuffed sofa and a delicate side table may look silly next
to each other.
Height: The higher the ceiling, the taller and more
imposing the furniture can be. Low ceilings beg for low
furniture and decor. The one exception to this rule is using
low, mid-century modern furnishings in a room with tall
ceilings to achieve a dramatic effect.
White space: Remember to leave “white space” in a
room. This is the space around and above furniture. A room
rarely looks good when every square inch of it is filled. The
eye needs room to rest in a space, so leave some surfaces
uncovered and some walls alone.
Patterns: If the room is small, keep patterns to scale using
smaller prints and less of them. A larger room can handle
larger patterns and more color. If you have a small room but
prefer a larger print, make sure it has lots of white space in it
and use it sparingly.
Repetition: Use repetitive patterns or colors. For
example, if you have square-shaped wainscoting panels on
your wall, choose a square coffee table to maintain the same
proportions throughout the room. Just be careful not to
overdo it.
Take a walk throughout the rooms of your home. If something
doesn’t feel right, it probably doesn’t have the correct scale
or proportion. Rearrange it, remove it or replace it until you
achieve the room, the home that you desire.
The Elements of Interior Design
Scale and proportion are both two vital principals of
Interior Design that can make or break the space. Scale and
Proportion defined: Scale refers to how an item relates to the
size of the room and proportion refers to the size of an item
and how it relates to other objects in the room.
Suppose you enter a large, beautiful room. Everything is
top of the line from the elegant two-story crystal chandelier
down to the priceless silk Persian rug. Suddenly, your eyes
stop in the middle of the space. The centerpiece of this
enormous room is a tiny, little sofa that can hardly fit two
people. Next to the tiny little sofa are miniature end tables
and some matching half-pint accent chairs. This is what
we call a lack of consideration for scale. Unfortunately, this
happens more than you can imagine when it comes to
selecting furniture pieces, accessories, patterned fabrics
and other design elements. A larger, high back sofa would
have been a better solution. While scale relates to the size
of an object and its relationship to the size of the space,
proportion refers to how the elements of an object relate to
itself. For instance, a large lamp holding a tiny lamp shade.
Below are some examples where scale and proportion are
properly taken into consideration when designing a space.

Let’s go GLAMPING!
Glamping is best defined as interior design gone wild!
It combines the fun of camping with the luxuries of a
hotel. It also makes the experience of camping much
easier and enjoyable. It’s simple to inject a bit of luxury,
comfort and glamour into your camping experience
without the cost? SimplyDECOR|SimplyCUISINE shows
how you can make “glamping” a fun and memorable
adventure.
The Tent: Look for something large and unique.
Depending on where you glamp, you might even
rent a temporary tent which can be pre-pitched by
someone else to make your trip even easier. You could
also invest in a family tent you can pitch on site very
quickly, leaving you plenty of time to put your feet up
and relax!
Campervan: If owning a campervan doesn’t fit your
lifestyle, you can rent one instead. Look for a vintage
and retro camper which will add some Old Hollywood
style to the experience. There is a lot to be said about
glamping “caravan” style. Everything stays on board
until you’re ready to leave for the campsite. Just hitch
up and go whenever the mood strikes. Getting a
vintage caravan with your own style can be
both environmentally friendly and creative, but
make sure you purchase carefully and to ensure
a safe caravan experience, take some towing
lessons before the journey.
Lighting: Outside, mark the
boundary of your campsite with
candles in glass containers for
safety. Battery powered candles
can give the same romantic effect
without the danger of a lit flame.
If you want to have atmospheric
lights inside the tent then battery
or solar-powered fairy lights are
great for setting the mood. Place
these in interesting jars to bring
light to the space. Solar powered
garden lights are perfect for
luminating a path in the night.

Simple, delicious meals: Put the canned pinto’s away.
Glamping invites a different kind of campfire menu.
Make sure you plan your meals before you go and take
a shopping list with you. Think about presentation. If
you have a cake, put it on a cake stand, and if you are
serving tea, make sure it’s in vintage tea cups. These
items can easily be purchased from the local thrift shop
and will add elegance to the dining experience.
Bedtime: An all seasons 13.5 luxury Hungarian duvet
is the duvet of choice for glampers. Only the warmest
will do for chilly nights. A king size ‘all seasons’ is the
one to go for. It’s 3 duvets, in one: a 9 tog and a 4.5
tog which can be used individually or put together for
a 13.5 tog. You will need at least 4 pillows. The plump,
luxurious Hungarian pillows are stuffed with goose
down and finished in Jacquard cotton and are perfect
for glamping. The choice for bed linens is hotel quality
1,000 thread count cotton or Mulberry silk for that bit of
indulgence. As any true glamper knows, it’s those little
extras that make the difference between camping and
glamping. You will need at least 4 pillow-cushions and
a couple of throws. Quilted cotton spreads are great
for warmth and the classic vintage look. True glampers
know that only a proper mattress will do. However, it’s
hard to fit a king size mattress in your back-pack so the
air mattress works just fine. The key to making an air
mattress luxurious is the topper… Yes, the topper. Think
of a topper as the icing on the cake. Layered on top
of your air mattress and beneath your sheets. Toppers
help keep the cold from the earth away from your body
increasing a restful sleep. Memory foam or goose down
toppers are best. Create a romantic feel in the bedroom
by draping muslin around your luxury bed.

Shopping opportunities abound in Acworth. Known for its
unique collection of merchants in the historic downtown
area, Acworth has many boutiques, jewelry and gifts shops,
book stores, art galleries, flowers, and of course, food. But

A LITTLE HISTORY
The Cherokee Nation lived in the area until the early 1830’s.
The Western and Atlantic Railroad began operation in
1845 in Atlanta, bringing progress northward to Northcutt
Station, the first northbound water-stop on the new track.
Joseph Gregg, a railroad engineer, renamed this stop after
his hometown of Acworth, New Hampshire. Acworth pros-
pered as a busy trade center and was incorporated as a city
in December 1860.
The Civil War brought “The Great Locomotive Chase”
through Acworth in April 1862 when James Andrew’s Raiders
stole the famous engine, “The General,” in nearby Big Shan-
ty. Sherman was headquartered in Acworth for several days.
The town was spared the torch until November 1864; many
homes and buildings were burned.
In 1950, Lake Allatoona was completed and it, along with
Lake Acworth, created recreational opportunities. Today,
Acworth is the center of a thriving, vibrant community.
The Acworth walking tour is a great way to get your “steps”
in while learning about some of the towns most popular

J.D.'S BBQskinless/boneless chicken breasts and some seriously
tasty chicken wings. The menu also includes some
southern favorites such as baked beans, collard greens,
Brunswick stew, coleslaw and the most amazing fried
corn-on-the-cobb imaginable. Try the spicy collards on
top of their famous smokehouse burger with some fries
on the side and a sweet iced tea or glass of cold beer.
Delicious!
See their full menu online at www.jdsbbq.com
You can always count on J.D.’s BBQ to have a consistent
menu no matter what the season, but during the
holidays, they add some traditional items like smoked
turkey and ham, pumpkin cobbler and some brisket
chili for those cold, winter days.
From Pit to Plate the food is cooked fresh daily and is
always outstanding! The atmosphere is friendly with a
down home feeling and the service is the best you’ve
ever had.
J.D.’s BBQ has two convenient locations in Woodstock
and Acworth and this summer Chip is opening his new
restaurant called J.D.’s on the Lake. Here you will find
delicious, seafood and live entertainment. You can
expect the same great southern hospitality and the
exceptional quality you’ve come to count-on through
the years at J.D.’s BBQ
If you haven’t tried Chip's smoked pork, come on in,
pull up a chair and get ready for some of the best
you’ve ever tasted. At J.D.’s, everyone is treated like
family!
When I think of my favorite summer flavor, an old-
fashioned BBQ smokehouse comes to mind. Nothing
makes your mouth-water faster than the smell of a
slow cooking smoker. J.D.’s BBQ tops the list for some
of Georgia’s best. Chip Allen is the owner of J.D.’s BBQ
in Woodstock and Acworth and he says one of the
many things he loves about BBQ is the way it brings
people together.
Chip officially began in the BBQ business in 1999. He
was self-taught through trial and error. Chip started out
by smoking whole pigs for parties while he was in high
school and college. He moved from North Carolina
to Georgia in 1996 and worked in the construction
business for about 3 years. One day he saw an ad in
the paper for the sale of a BBQ stand. That was on a
Wednesday. On Thursday he went to see it, on Friday
he quit his job and on Sunday September 19th, 1999…
he was open for business.
Sadly, Chips father, David passed away when Chip was
young and his brother Jeff died just a few years later.
They are the name sake for J.D.’s BBQ.
Chip says the “Old Timers” had a strong influence on
him. They were the local farmers he grew up with and
they would cook for their families, churches and school
fundraisers. He learned early on that when people eat
BBQ, it’s was always a good time. J.D.’s smokes the best
quality meats including Boston pork butts, beef brisket,
baby back ribs, whole chickens,

Real BBQ is meat that has been slow cooked in a smoker. If you
want to feed a lot of people, you have to smoke a lot of meat…
hence, the smoke house! A good smoke house has to be main-
tained and stoked to keep the proper temperature and enough
smoke to create that BBQ flavor we all love. At JD’s, they slow
cook their pork butts 16 - 18 hours and their beef brisket 12 – 14
hours. They keep the baby back ribs smoking for about 5 hours.
After they plate your BBQ, you have your choice of sauces. JD’s
house BBQ sauce is a perfect blend and truly enhances that
good old southern BBQ flavor.
If your family has a busy evening schedule, you can stop by JD’s
and pick-up some smoked, pulled pork and a bottle of sauce for
the road and keep the gang happy because nothing cures hun-
ger like a delicious BBQ sandwich. Catering for an event is one of
JD’s BBQ specialties. The next time you have a party, call JD’s and
let them do the work. Their catering professionals really know
how to please a crowd.

Charcoal Grills – nothing ever tasted better!When I think of Barbeque, images of backyard gatherings
with friends and neighbors comes to mind. The smell of
fresh watermelon and corn on the cobb accompanied by
the smoky goodness of Dad’s grill. Preparing for a summer
of safe grilling is important, so we have listed some safety
and “how to” tips from a couple of top leaders in the
industry. Kingsford and True Value.
CLEANING THE CHARCOAL GRILL
• Scrape the burnt, cooked-on food particles from the
grates using a stiff wire brush. Next, place your grates in
a large plastic container filled with hot soapy water. This
activity is best suited for the back yard. Let the grates soak
for 30 minutes to an hour. Using a stainless-steel scrub pad
and rubber dishwashing gloves, remove any remaining
“gunk” from the grates. Rinse and let dry (if grates are
aluminum, dry with a towel)
• Remove any old coals and ash from the basin of the grill.
Wipe down the basin and grill top with a wet rag.
• After everything has completely dried, replace the grates
and the cover. Now you should be ready for action.
Some folks find charcoal barbequing intimidating, but we
learned if you use a coal chimney, it’s an easy and healthy
way to fire-up the grill!
STACKING THE COAL CHIMNEY
• Stuff 3 or 4 sheets of newspaper into the bottom of the
chimney, then fill the remaining space in the canister with
charcoal.
• Remove the grate and light the newspaper in the bottom
of the chimney. Set the chimney in the basin of the grill.
• When the coals glow and are covered in ash (15 to 20
minutes) they are ready to be turned out into the basin of
the grill.
• Put the grate back on and close the lid. This gives the grill
time to get hot before you start to cook.
So, grab the bad mitten rackets and invite the neighbors.
Summer is here and it’s time to get the backyard barbeque
going!
