What To Do In California

This November

Autumn and winter shake hands every November in California, and 2025 is no exception. Culinary festivals are still celebrating the season’s harvest, while several California ski resorts hold their opening days this time of year. Of course, in many parts of California it’s still balmy enough to enjoy public art, music festivals, or wine tasting outside or to start exploring the holiday decor and lights at theme parks and other attractions.

23 Pies To Serve This Thanksgiving That Aren't Just Pumpkin

There are plenty of Thanksgiving traditions, from turkey and stuffing to passive-aggressive arguments at the dinner table that remind you why you go the rest of the year without associating with some family members. Of course, there has to be pumpkin pie.

What to Know About La Niña & Roof Protection

Safeguarding Your Home During an Early Rainy Season:

Key steps every homeowner should take as the season begins:

Inspect Your Roof Early 🔍🏠

Look for missing shingles, cracks, lifted edges, or worn areas (common entry points for water).

Clear Gutters and Downspouts 🧹🌧️

Clogged gutters often cause leaks. Proper drainage prevents overflow and water intrusion.

Check Flashing and Roof Penetrations 🛠️

Vents, chimneys, skylights, and pipe openings must be sealed and watertight.

Trim Overhanging Branches ✂️🌿

Branches can damage roofing material during wind or storms.

Act Quickly If You Spot a Leak ⚠️💧

Early remediation prevents mold, rot, and structural issues.

Where to Find Help if You Discover a Roof Issue 🆘

If you see ceiling stains, moisture in the attic, dripping, or musty smells, act fast.

Licensed roofing and remediation professionals can:

• Perform same-day inspections ⏱️

• Install temporary protective coverings (tarping) 🟦

• Identify the source of intrusion 🔎

• Provide water extraction and drying 💨

• Repair or replace damaged materials 🔩
