8th Street Beauty gets the shingles - the good kind

The Dalles, Ore., Feb. 10, 2025 — Workers with Valencia General Contracting, LLC of The Dalles were hard at it this morning, Feb. 10 at a beautiful Craftsman Style home in the 500 block of East 8th Street.

Despite a bitter chill from an east wind that made 35 degrees feel like 20, these roofers were hard at it replacing composite shingles, giving the older home a new lease on life.

Company owner Sergio Valencia, 32, said his business did all kinds of construction, painting and concrete work and he was proud to earn his contractors license and get bonded and insured in recent years.

The National Weather Service is predicting temps do drop into the teens the next two nights with a low of 11 degrees Fahrenheit early Wednesday morning.
