Commercial and residential roofing are similar in that they both require seasoned professionals to perform quality work. However, unlike the more straightforward approach of residential roofing, commercial roofing projects can be lengthy and complex. In our experience, there are dozens of factors that must be considered when completing a commercial roof project.
In South Carolina, commercial roof repair must account for rooftop HVAC systems, external utilities, external piping, the type of commercial roof, and much more. Because commercial roofing structures vary in design and complexity, even common tasks like leak repairs become more difficult. Whether you need a commercial roof inspection or a total roof replacement, your contractors must be highly trained and follow best practices specific to commercial roofing, not just residential.

Hixon's Roofing & Construction is here to earn your trust by exceeding your expectations with any commercial roofing job you have.
A safe and well-maintained roof is a vital component of any building's structural integrity, and that's why the importance of commercial roof repair is so high. A well-built roof protects the building's interior from severe weather and even helps with fire prevention. A variety of problems can plague your roof's health such as standing water, blisters, and gaps in flashing. It's imperative to keep up with minor repairs now so that massive problems don't cause financial issues later.
A few benefits of hiring Hixon's for your commercial roof repair include:

Hiring trained, licensed commercial roofing experts keeps you safe by:
Having a functional, well-maintained roof that works properly, 24/7. When your commercial roof is in good shape and working correctly, you and your customers are much safer.
Commercial roof repair is a dangerous job for a novice. A quick search online will bring up dozens of cases in South Carolina where DIYers have injured themselves trying to repair their commercial property.
Here at Hixon's commercial roof repair, we often speak to entrepreneurs who list their budget as the biggest reason why roof repair is low on their "to-do" list. That stance is understandable, but we believe quality commercial roofing maintenance actually boosts your bottom line over time. The truth is regular roof inspections uncover minor repair issues before they turn into budget busters.
Hiring Hixon's for your commercial roof repair is usually more affordable than dealing with a huge issue down the road. Plus, commercial roof maintenance extends the life of your roof, which can help you avoid replacing your roof much longer than you would without proper maintenance.
Many commercial property owners are concerned about liability, and rightfully so. A roof that has not been maintained for long periods of time can cause physical harm. You may be financially responsible if someone is hurt because your roof is in disrepair.
Hiring a qualified team of commercial roofers in South Carolina lets you get a detailed assessment of your roof's condition. That way, you can take the necessary steps to protect your customers, your building, and ultimately, your business.
Unsurprisingly, most commercial roof warranties require that owners prove that their roof has had regular maintenance prior to paying repairs. Commercial roof repair in South Carolina can be costly, and it's frustrating to fork out money for repairs that should be covered under your warranty.
Fortunately, you can avoid fiascos like these by maintaining a regular roof inspection schedule from Hixon's Roofing. That way, you will have the proof needed to provide to your insurance agency if you must file a claim.
A functional, well-maintained roof is a crucial component of any commercial building's structural integrity. When properly maintained, your commercial roof will protect you from the elements and add an aesthetically aura to your building. When properly maintained, your commercial roof will protect you from the elements and add an aesthetical aura to your building. However, when you fail to maintain your roof, a variety of problems can occur. Keep your eye out for the following signs that your commercial roof needs repair.
Standing water can have incredibly adverse effects on your commercial roofing system. It can cause leaks that deteriorate your roof's integrity, which leads to water intrusion. When water intrudes your commercial building, it can cause a litany of health hazards like mold and bacteria. When you spot standing water on your roof, your roof's support system may be seriously compromised, especially with wooden materials.
Commercial roofs are made with materials meant for outdoor conditions, but too much heat or moisture can cause a blistering effect that allows moisture to seep in and weaken your roof's structure. When this happens, your roof ages prematurely, thereby reducing its ability to protect you and your customers or tenants.
Having a functional drainage system is paramount to the health of your commercial roof. If scuppers or drains are clogged with waste and debris, water pools on your roof, which will eventually make its way inside. Gaps in flashing can also cause water to permeate the building. Additionally, cracks and worn seams give water access inside. Keep a sharp eye out for signs of clogged drains and gaps in your roof's flashing. If you notice these signs, call Hixon's commercial roof repair as soon as possible.
Let's be honest: replacing your businesses' roof is no small task. Regular maintenance and care can go a long way in extending the life of your commercial roof, but with enough time, even the best roofs will need to be replaced.

The rise of remote work provides new opportunities for many communities across the country to rethink how they compete for skilled workers. Tulsa Remote, one of the nation’s first and largest remote worker relocation initiatives, has brought more than 1,200 remote workers to the city since 2018 by offering a $10,000 grant and additional support services to eligible workers who move to Tulsa to live and work remotely from there for at least one year.The economic challenges facing Tulsa, OK, are familiar to many Heartland communit...
The rise of remote work provides new opportunities for many communities across the country to rethink how they compete for skilled workers. Tulsa Remote, one of the nation’s first and largest remote worker relocation initiatives, has brought more than 1,200 remote workers to the city since 2018 by offering a $10,000 grant and additional support services to eligible workers who move to Tulsa to live and work remotely from there for at least one year.
The economic challenges facing Tulsa, OK, are familiar to many Heartland communities and include slow and inconsistent population growth, difficulty attracting and retaining highly-educated workers, and lagging growth in high-tech, high-wage industries and jobs. Tulsa Remote responds to these challenges by targeting highly-educated individuals in their prime working years with critical skills in in-demand sectors: the average income of program members was just over $104,600; fully 88 percent of program members have at least a bachelor’s degree; and nearly one-third of members work in the knowledge-intensive information or professional and scientific services industries. Deployed at scale, the goal is that the program will allow the city to diversify its human capital base even before a corresponding job necessarily exists in the local economy.
An economic impact analysis from the Economic Innovation Group (EIG) found the first program cohort was responsible for generating millions in new local earnings and bringing hundreds of new jobs to Tulsa in 2021. The analysis illustrates how such initiatives, designed well and deployed in the right context, may play a potent role in local economic development strategies and help level the playing field in the national competition for talent in the years ahead.
Considering only the Tulsa Remote program members present at the start of 2021, Tulsa Remote is estimated to…
Tulsa Remote has already grown significantly since the start of 2021 and intends to build upon these economic impacts and expand further in the years ahead. On its current growth trajectory, in 2025, the Tulsa Remote program is estimated to…
Covid-19 further accelerated the untethering of home from the workplace for a large share of the labor market, opening new opportunities for cities to attract a workforce to fuel local economic growth. As an early pioneer that leaned into the rise of remote working even before the pandemic, Tulsa Remote was well-positioned to take advantage of the transformation of American work-life that has happened since.
Many factors make Tulsa Remote unique, including its large scale, its sponsorship through a local foundation, and its backdrop in a mid-sized city that has put place-making and quality of life at the heart of its economic development strategy.
However, even for an initiative with solid theoretical foundations and strong early returns, the program’s long-term economic impact is still to be determined. The success of the initiative moving forward will be mediated by four primary factors: retention and growth, intensifying competition with other places as more regions adopt similar strategies, local community support, and the extent to which the program is able to contribute to the city’s long-term economic transformation. For Tulsa—and any community considering such an approach to economic development—there are several fundamental questions that must be asked when considering the potential success of a remote work incentive:
Remote worker incentives are no panacea for places struggling to attract workers or modernize their local economies. However, the early evidence from one of the nation’s leading remote worker initiatives suggests that well-designed programs have the potential to deliver significant returns—especially when aligned with broader local or regional development strategies.

If you haven't seen it yet, below is the AMC commercial with Nicole Kidman. When it was released in 2021, it was towards the end of various lockdowns with the COVID-19 pandemic. While we were all stuck at home, many movies were being released on streaming services and several movie theaters had to close their doors. But AMC wasn't giving up on movie theater magic.
In the commercial, Nicole Kidman is walking into an AMC theater out of the rain. She's back in the movie theater where magic happens, and where we come to feel every human emotion as the lights begin to dim. Nicole Kidman is then transported between time and space and then reborn as some semi-iconic movies play before her on the big screen.
Now that you've watched the commercial, you probably understand why it has become so popular - it's so easy to spoof. Last year, SNL gave the commercial their own spin.
So, when I saw that the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma, did their own take of the AMC commercial, I knew I had to share. The script is adjust a little bit to describe an art museum, not a movie theater, of course. But a lot of the shots are the same, except it's a sunny day in the museum's garden and I imagine the narrator is just walking through a sprinkler puddle.
The narrator makes their way into the museum, walking through its corridors and up its grand staircase, similar to Nicole Kidman gliding through her AMC theater. They even take a seat on a couch to properly gaze at some of the museum's artworks. And you still have that iconic line, "Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this." Probably the best recreation is the ending clip with "Philbrook" in AMC writing and stating, "We make museums better." Watch for yourself below!

TULSA — Four-time Grammy Award winners Aerosmith are saying "Peace Out" to touring.
The diamond-certified rockers announced Monday plans for their farewell tour, and the 40-date North American trek includes an Oklahoma stop.
Aerosmith will perform Nov. 4 at Tulsa's BOK Center.
Frontman Steven Tyler, guitarist Joe Perry, bassist Tom Hamilton and guitarist Brad Whitford made the final tour announcement in a star-studded video featuring Ringo Starr, Bill Burr, Eminem, Slash, Dolly Parton and more.
“It’s not goodbye it’s PEACE OUT! Get ready and walk this way, you’re going to get the best show of our lives," the band members said in a joint statement.
Tulsa tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. May 5, with prices ranging from $69.95 to $499.95.
Tulsa tickets will be available at bokcenter.com.
The tour will include special guest The Black Crowes.

Produced by Live Nation, Aerosmith's final tour will kick off in Philadelphia on Sept. 2, with stops in major arenas across the U.S. and Canada, including Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, New York’s Madison Square Garden and Chicago’s United Center.
Celebrating their 50th anniversary, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have sold more than 150 million albums around the world and produced iconic music videos like "Amazing," "Crazy," "Janie's Got A Gun," "Livin' On The Edge," and "Love In An Elevator." Aerosmith was the first rock band to create a commercially successful hip-hop collaboration with Run DMC on "Walk This Way" and the first hard rock band to appear during a Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2001. In 1999, Aerosmith became the first band to have its own themed attraction at Disney World in Florida and later Paris with the launch of the Rock 'N' Roller coaster starring Aerosmith.
Although the band has embarked on several record-shattering global tours — and most recently launched a hit Las Vegas residency — drummer Joey Kramer won't be joining the band for the "Peace Out" trek, according to the tour announcement.
“While Joey Kramer remains a beloved founding member of Aerosmith, he has regrettably made the decision to sit out the currently scheduled touring dates to focus his full attention on his family and health. Joey’s unmistakable and legendary presence behind the drum kit will be sorely missed," reads a statement from the band.

TSW Tulsa has completed the development of new zoning codes and design guidelines for the City of Sapulpa. The planning, architecture and landscape architecture firm spent nearly a year working with Sapulpa city staff and a steering committee of local leaders, property owners and developers to create guidelines focused on elements of historic preservation, restoration and adaptive reuse of the historic district. The new codes and guidelines govern the appearance, features and usage of the historic district, such as building height, embellishments, additions, awnings, signage, parking, green spaces and more. They will provide the city and other governing bodies with tools to help determine whether or not to approve future development projects.
“We believe these new guidelines will be transformative for Sapulpa, since they safeguard the unique character of the historic district while encouraging and directing future development,” said Katy O’Meilia, TSW senior associate and director of TSW Tulsa. “The new codes were thoughtfully designed to protect the vision of the Master Plan, which serves as a roadmap for Sapulpa’s future.”
Sapulpa is the county seat of Creek County, and is located approximately 12 miles southwest of Tulsa. The city is named for Chief James Sapulpa, a full-blooded Lower Creek who came to Indian Territory from Alabama and established a nearby trading post around 1850. In 1866, the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad extended its line from Red Fork to what became known as Sapulpa Station. A post office was established in 1889, and the town was incorporated nine years later. Most of the current structures within the historic district are around 100 years old.
Sapulpa’s 25-acre historic district is roughly bounded on the north by Hobson Ave, on the south by Thompson Ave., to the west by Poplar St. and to the east by Maple St. East Dewey Ave., which is a section of Route 66, boasts a contiguous line of historic buildings, many of which have been continuously occupied through the decades. The city has recently implemented an Alley Activation project within the district, adding lights, seating, walkways, art and landscaping to the alleyways throughout the area.

Original post:
The November 8th election will decide many local and state races. We’ll carry live coverage starting at 7 p.m.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. We’ll post results from the election board here for the Tulsa area.
Check your polling place
The state election board has some tips for voters. After the recent redistricting process, some Oklahomans may be voting in different districts than they’re used to, or at different polling places. To make sure you’re going to the proper place to vote, visit the OK Voter Portal online, or call your county election board. Voters can only cast a ballot at their assigned polling location. Sample ballots are also available at that OK Voter Portal website, if you want to see what you’re voting on beforehand.
What do I need to bring with me?
Oklahoma requires proof of identity to vote, so bring a valid photo ID from the state, federal, or tribal government, or your voter ID card. Otherwise, you’ll have to cast a provisional ballot that won’t be counted until after election day. Some acceptable forms of ID include:
You are also allowed to bring any notes, guides or information you need to the polls for the races you're deciding on.
Do I have to fill out everything on my ballot?
No, you do not have to fill out everything on your ballot. Oklahoma also offers straight-party voting for the following political parties: Republican, Democrat and Libertarian.
