  • Why Winter Is the Ideal Season to Source Authentic Reclaimed Materials

    Why Winter Is the Ideal Season to Source Authentic Reclaimed Materials

    RICHARDSON, TX, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Winter has a way of slowing everything down—and in the world of thoughtful building and design, that pause is often where the best decisions are made. While spring and summer are associated with active construction, winter is when plans take shape, materials are selected, and long-term vision is defined. For builders, architects, and homeowners who value authenticity, this quieter season offers a distinct advantage.

    Planning Before the Pace Picks Up

    January is rarely about rushing. It’s about reviewing drawings, refining details, and making intentional choices that will guide a project for months to come. Sourcing reclaimed materials during this stage allows design to lead the process, rather than availability or time pressure.

    Authentic reclaimed elements are not interchangeable commodities. Each beam, brick, or slate piece has its own character, dimensions, and history. Selecting them early ensures the design can respond to the material—rather than forcing the material to fit a finalized plan.

    Access to Rare Inventory

    Winter sourcing often means greater access to one-of-a-kind materials. As demolition projects continue year-round, reclaimed inventory becomes available long before peak building season begins. Those who start early have more options to choose from and more flexibility to secure pieces that truly fit their vision.

    This is especially important for projects that rely on visual anchors—hand-hewn beams, antique brick runs, or reclaimed stone that defines a space. These materials are finite. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

    Designing With Authenticity, Not Substitutes

    When schedules tighten, projects are more likely to default to manufactured alternatives that imitate age rather than embody it. Winter planning helps avoid that compromise. It allows teams to commit to real materials with real history, ensuring authenticity is built into the project from the start.

    Reclaimed materials don’t just fill a role—they shape the identity of a home or structure. Their patina, wear, and irregularities bring depth that new materials cannot replicate. Choosing them early protects that integrity.

    Logistics Without Pressure

    Sourcing reclaimed materials requires care: inspection, sorting, preparation, and secure delivery. Winter timelines make it easier to manage these steps without the stress of imminent install dates. That breathing room leads to better outcomes—materials arrive ready, consistent, and aligned with the build schedule.

    It also allows builders and designers to coordinate details such as quantities, cuts, and finishes well in advance, reducing surprises once construction begins.

    Building With Purpose From the Ground Up

    Projects that endure are rarely rushed. They’re shaped by decisions made long before the first wall goes up. Winter is when purpose-driven building happens—when materials are chosen not just for appearance, but for meaning, longevity, and story.

    This philosophy is why many professionals partner with Bourgeois Materials during the planning phase. By sourcing authentic reclaimed elements from historic demolition sites nationwide, the company helps projects begin with substance, not substitutions.

    A Head Start on a Meaningful Build

    As the industry looks ahead to spring and summer builds, January offers a rare opportunity: time. Time to choose materials with intention. Time to design around authenticity. Time to secure pieces that will define a project for generations.

    For those who build beyond the blueprint, winter isn’t downtime—it’s the foundation.

    Lazarus Alliance Expands Capacity with Over 100 New CMMC Assessment Slots to Address 2026 Compliance Crunch and Prevent Contractor Delays

    By expanding our team of Certified CMMC Assessors and opening these additional slots now, we’re helping contractors avoid the backlog and achieve certification on time.”

    — Michael Peters, CEO at Lazarus Alliance

    SCOTTSDALE, AZ, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Lazarus Alliance, a leading Cyber AB-accredited Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO), today announced the immediate availability of more than 100 additional CMMC Level 2 assessment slots through the end of 2026. This expansion comes in direct response to the growing industry-wide capacity crisis as defense contractors rush to secure third-party assessments ahead of mandatory CMMC enforcement in Phase 2.

    With Phase 2 of the Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 program set to begin on November 10, 2026, third-party CMMC Level 2 certifications will become required for most contracts involving Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Industry reports indicate that C3PAO schedules are already filling rapidly, with wait times extending 3-6 months or longer for many providers. Approximately 80,000 defense contractors will eventually need Level 2 certification, yet demand continues to outpace the limited supply of authorized assessors.

    “Lazarus Alliance is committed to supporting the Defense Industrial Base during this critical transition,” said Michael Peters, CEO of Lazarus Alliance. “We recognize the real risk of delays that could jeopardize contract awards and supply chain continuity. By expanding our team of Certified CMMC Assessors and opening these additional slots now, we’re helping contractors avoid the backlog and achieve certification on time.”

    Building on its proven track record—including a 100% first-pass success rate for CMMC Level 2 assessments in 2025—Lazarus Alliance offers comprehensive services, including gap analysis, readiness assessments, remediation support, and official third-party audits. The firm supports organizations across all sizes and NAICS codes, ensuring efficient paths to compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and full CMMC requirements.

  • New Music Alert Nothing Occurred (Remix) from Sharon Eitan

    New Music Alert Nothing Occurred (Remix) from Sharon Eitan

    Track Title: Nothing Occurred (Remix)
    Genre: Pop / Rock
    Launch Date: Out Now
    ISRC Code: QT6E92575815

    TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Multi-talented singer-songwriter and composer Sharon Eitan is thrilled to announce the release of “Nothing Occurred (Remix)”, the latest single from her ongoing remix series of the album Referrals and Talismans. Blending pop and rock elements, the track is out now on all major streaming platforms.

    Originally recorded years ago in a low-budget session at Ralf Levitan’s studio—featuring acclaimed guitarist Avi Singolda and Eitan on lead vocals—the album Referrals and Talismans was finally released last year. Now, Eitan is giving these songs a fresh makeover, remixing them individually and releasing each as a standalone single.

    Eitan shares: “My lyrics often present wounded, isolated characters struggling to break free from real or imagined bonds—closeted gay men, silenced housewives, inhibited teenagers, aspiring artists fighting to be heard. Each song encapsulates its own micro-world, so I’m now approaching them individually.

    “For these remixes, Eitan has embraced innovative AI tools to generate new vocal textures and reimagine the productions. “In some past projects, I’ve hired studio vocalists to record my music—especially when making demos for my musical theatre work,” Eitan explains. “For these new remixes, I decided to experiment with AI tools to generate new vocal colours and reimagine the production. I feel that working with AI vocals is not altogether different from working with hired singers: in both cases, there’s a balance to be found between imposing my own interpretation of a song and nurturing the vocalist’s creative choice. “Fans can explore more of Eitan’s remixed favorites, including:
    I’ve Been Asked
    Safekeeping
    Rolling Waters
    The Lesson
    The Face That Launched A Thousand Ships
    The Good Advice
    Dead Now
    Fire
    Siren
    You Came To Me

    Sharon Eitan is a versatile Israeli artist known for her work in classical composition, pop-rock songwriting, and musical theatre. With a background in physics and mathematics, Eitan brings a unique depth to her storytelling through music.

  • Why Winter Is the Smartest Time to Secure Reclaimed Brick and Stone for Spring Builds

    Why Winter Is the Smartest Time to Secure Reclaimed Brick and Stone for Spring Builds

    RICHARDSON, TX, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — For builders, architects, and homeowners planning spring construction, January is often overlooked. Yet winter can be one of the most strategic times to source reclaimed brick and stone—especially when timelines, availability, and authenticity matter.

    Cold months offer a rare opportunity to plan deliberately, secure materials early, and avoid the bottlenecks that arrive as soon as building season ramps up.

    Planning Ahead When Demand Is Low

    Once spring approaches, demand for reclaimed materials rises quickly. Builders begin finalizing elevations, architects lock in exterior palettes, and homeowners rush to secure period-correct materials before framing begins. By sourcing in January, projects gain breathing room—time to select the right textures, colors, and patinas without pressure.

    Early planning also reduces the risk of substitution. When reclaimed inventory tightens later in the year, projects are often forced to compromise with mismatched batches or delayed shipments. Winter sourcing keeps design intent intact.

    Authentic Materials Perform in Any Season

    Reclaimed brick and stone sourced from century-old structures have already proven their durability through decades of weather, moisture, and temperature shifts. These materials are not seasonal products—they’re timeless ones.

    Winter selection allows builders to inspect inventory carefully, compare lots, and choose materials that will age beautifully over time. The result is a finished project that feels grounded, lived-in, and architecturally honest from day one.

    Faster Access Before the Spring Rush

    One of the biggest advantages of winter sourcing is speed. With inventory readily available and fewer competing orders, materials can move quickly from yard to jobsite. This allows builders to stage materials ahead of schedule and stay ahead of weather-dependent construction phases.

    New Orleans Brick & Stone supports this approach by maintaining on-hand reclaimed inventory and shipping nationwide within 48 hours—making January an ideal window to secure materials without delay.

    Building With Legacy in Mind

    Reclaimed brick and stone do more than complete a structure—they connect new construction to architectural history. Winter planning gives projects the time they deserve to honor that legacy, selecting materials that align with proportion, scale, and regional character.

    Inspired by the philosophy of A. Hays Town, thoughtful material selection ensures homes feel timeless rather than trendy, rooted rather than replicated.

    A Smarter Start to the Building Year

    January isn’t a pause—it’s a head start. For projects breaking ground in spring, sourcing reclaimed materials now reduces risk, protects timelines, and preserves design integrity.

    For builders and designers who value authenticity, reliability, and craftsmanship, New Orleans Brick & Stone offers a winter advantage: real materials, real inventory, and real support when it matters most.

  • Why January Is the Ideal Time to Source Reclaimed Slate and Clay Roofing

    Why January Is the Ideal Time to Source Reclaimed Slate and Clay Roofing

    RICHARDSON, TX, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — For builders, roofers, and architects planning spring projects, January offers a strategic advantage that often goes overlooked. While colder months may slow installation schedules, they create the perfect window to source authentic reclaimed roofing materials without delays, compromises, or rushed decisions.

    Early planning sets projects up for smoother execution once weather conditions improve.

    Avoiding Spring Supply Bottlenecks

    As temperatures rise, demand for reclaimed slate and clay roofing increases quickly. Restoration timelines tighten, specialty materials become harder to match, and lead times can stretch unexpectedly. Securing materials in January helps eliminate these risks before peak season begins.

    Sourcing early ensures access to consistent color ranges, thicknesses, and quantities—critical for repairs, additions, and full roof restorations where visual continuity matters.

    Authentic Roofing Built for Long-Term Performance

    Reclaimed slate and clay tiles sourced from historic structures have already proven their durability over decades of exposure. These materials were designed for longevity, often outperforming modern alternatives in lifespan and weather resistance.

    January sourcing allows professionals to evaluate inventory carefully, select appropriate blends, and plan layouts without the pressure of an active jobsite schedule. The result is a roof that performs structurally while preserving architectural integrity.

    Faster Turnaround When It Matters Most

    One of the biggest advantages of winter ordering is speed. With fewer competing projects in motion, materials can be processed, staged, and shipped efficiently—ensuring they’re ready when installation begins.

    Reclaimed Slate Roofing supports this process with vetted inventory, builder-direct pricing, and fast nationwide delivery—making early-year sourcing both practical and predictable.

    Sustainability Without Compromise

    Reclaimed roofing materials offer more than visual authenticity. By reusing historic slate and clay tiles, projects reduce landfill waste while preserving craftsmanship that can’t be replicated. January planning allows sustainability goals to be built into the project from the start, rather than treated as an afterthought.

    For high-end builds and restorations, reclaimed roofing provides an eco-conscious solution without sacrificing performance or appearance.

    A Smarter Start to the Construction Year

    January isn’t downtime—it’s preparation time. For professionals who value efficiency, reliability, and authenticity, sourcing reclaimed roofing materials early helps protect schedules, control costs, and maintain design intent.

    Reclaimed Slate Roofing continues to support builders, architects, and roofers who want real materials, fast delivery, and a straightforward ordering process—starting the year with clarity instead of complications.

  • Why January Is a Smart Time to Address Plumbing Issues in Hampton Roads

    Why January Is a Smart Time to Address Plumbing Issues in Hampton Roads

    PORTSMOUTH, VA, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Cold weather places extra strain on plumbing systems, especially in coastal regions like Hampton Roads where temperature swings, aging infrastructure, and seasonal moisture all play a role. January is often when hidden plumbing issues begin to surface, making it an important time for homeowners and business owners to take action before minor problems become emergencies.

    While plumbing concerns are easy to postpone during busy months, addressing them early in the year can help prevent costly repairs later.

    Winter Conditions Can Expose Weak Points

    During colder months, pipes contract, water pressure fluctuates, and systems work harder than usual. Small cracks, worn seals, or partially blocked drains may not cause immediate failures, but winter conditions often reveal areas that need attention.

    Common winter-related plumbing concerns include:

    Slow or backing-up drains

    Pipe leaks caused by contraction or shifting

    Water heater performance issues during peak usage

    Increased stress on older sewer and storm drain lines

    Identifying these issues in January allows for controlled repairs rather than urgent fixes during peak seasons.

    Emergency Calls Are More Common Than Many Expect

    Plumbing emergencies do not wait for convenient timing. Burst pipes, sewer backups, and water heater failures frequently occur during colder months when systems are under stress. January is historically one of the busiest periods for emergency plumbing calls across Hampton Roads.

    Having plumbing systems inspected and maintained early can significantly reduce the risk of after-hours emergencies that disrupt homes, businesses, and daily operations.

    A Practical Window for Commercial Properties

    For restaurants, property managers, and commercial facilities, January often provides a brief operational window to address plumbing needs with minimal disruption. Services such as grease trap maintenance, drain inspections, storm drain servicing, and pipe repairs are easier to schedule before spring activity increases.

    Proactive maintenance helps businesses stay compliant, avoid downtime, and protect their properties as foot traffic and seasonal demand return.

    Prevention Saves Time and Money

    One of the most effective plumbing strategies is prevention. Routine inspections, early repairs, and system maintenance can extend the life of pipes, fixtures, and water heaters while reducing long-term costs.

    Addressing plumbing concerns early in the year helps:

    Prevent emergency repair expenses

    Extend system lifespan

    Improve water efficiency

    Reduce unexpected service interruptions

    January offers a natural reset point to evaluate plumbing systems and plan ahead.

    Reliable Local Support Matters

    When plumbing issues arise, working with experienced, local professionals who understand regional infrastructure and conditions is essential. Newman’s Plumbing Service and Repair continues to support homeowners and businesses throughout Portsmouth and Hampton Roads with dependable service, clear communication, and 24/7 emergency availability when it matters most.

    Starting the year with a stable, well-maintained plumbing system brings peace of mind and helps ensure homes and businesses stay protected through every season.

    For those experiencing leaks, drainage issues, or system concerns, early action in January can prevent far bigger problems later in the year. Newman’s Plumbing Service and Repair remains available around the clock to help Hampton Roads properties stay safe, functional, and flowing smoothly.

  • Press Advantage Reveals Why Agencies Lose Client Momentum After Initial Engagement Period

    Press Advantage Reveals Why Agencies Lose Client Momentum After Initial Engagement Period

    Las Vegas, NV – January 07, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Press Advantage, a leading press release distribution service, today announced insights into a critical challenge facing agency owners and account managers: the systematic loss of client engagement momentum that typically occurs after the first 90 days of partnership, even when performance metrics remain strong.

    The company’s analysis addresses a pattern that many agencies experience but rarely discuss openly. While the initial three months of client relationships typically feature high energy, frequent communication, and aligned expectations, a notable shift often occurs afterward that has less to do with performance failures and more to do with the natural evolution of engagement dynamics.

    The phenomenon affects agencies across various sectors, from marketing and public relations to digital services and consulting. Initial engagement periods benefit from the novelty effect, where both parties invest significant attention and resources into establishing the relationship. As familiarity sets in, communication patterns shift, and what was once proactive engagement can become reactive management.

    “The momentum drop that agencies experience after 90 days is primarily structural and relational rather than a reflection of poor performance,” said Jeremy Noetzelman, CEO of Press Advantage. “Understanding this distinction helps agency owners recognize that maintaining engagement requires deliberate strategies beyond simply delivering good results.”

    Press Advantage identifies several contributing factors to this momentum loss. The transition from onboarding to maintenance mode often lacks clear protocols for sustained engagement. Additionally, as immediate challenges are resolved and systems are established, the perceived urgency of regular communication diminishes on both sides.

    The structural nature of this challenge means that agencies need to build deliberate touchpoints and value demonstrations into their ongoing client relationships. This includes establishing regular strategic reviews, creating new initiatives at predetermined intervals, and maintaining communication cadences that extend beyond status updates.

    “Agencies that recognize momentum loss as a predictable pattern rather than a failure can design their engagement models to counteract it,” added Noetzelman. “This might include scheduling quarterly business reviews, introducing new capabilities at strategic intervals, or creating collaborative planning sessions that reignite the partnership energy.”

    The insights come as agencies increasingly focus on client retention and lifetime value. With client acquisition costs continuing to rise, maintaining momentum in existing relationships becomes crucial for sustainable growth. Press Release Distribution services like those offered by Press Advantage can help agencies maintain visibility and demonstrate ongoing value through consistent news generation and media coverage.

    The company’s observations are based on interactions with thousands of agency clients who use https://pressadvantage.com/ for their press release needs. These agencies have found that regular news distribution helps maintain client engagement by providing tangible, shareable results that reinforce the value of the ongoing partnership.

    Press Advantage specializes in full-service press release writing and distribution, serving over 16,000 businesses since its founding in 2013. The Las Vegas-based company, operated by Velluto Tech Incubator, provides comprehensive services including professional writing, distribution to major news outlets, SEO optimization, and detailed reporting.
