The resort town of Coeur d’Alene in Idaho is some 30 miles east of its larger neighbor Spokane in Washington State. Locally, Coeur d’Alene is simply referred to as CDA; but it also has the nickname of Lake City. The luxury Coeur d’Alene Resort hotel takes up a major portion of downtown CDA and is located on the edge of Lake Coeur d’Alene. The resort has convention facilities plus a spa and a marina; but is, perhaps better known for its 18 hole golf course with the famed floating green on the 14th hole.
There are also 2 large ski resorts nearby – the Silver Mountain in Kellogg to the east, and Schweitzer Mountain at Sandpoint in the north. Obviously, tourism is a major feature in the CDA economy all the year round and this has accounted for considerable growth in the number of its residents. Barbara Walters has referred to CDA as “a little slice of Heaven” and one of the most fascinating places to visit.
Tourists Like Attractive Towns
CDA does not have much by way of old, interesting or significant buildings and the tourists are more likely to come for the attractions of the lake and surrounding countryside (unless they have come entirely for the golf or skiing). For the town to benefit from this, the general appearance of its commercial buildings and the citizens’ homes does need to be pleasing to the eye to maintain the “good” ambience of CDA.
This Includes The Rooftops
Dull, unimaginative, weather ravaged roofing gives off an ambience more associated with a shanty town or a distressed inner city. Since this is not a good tourist image; the roofers in coeur d’ alene id must be kept pretty busy maintaining the right ambience for the place in general. Even CDA homeowners who are not particularly civic minded, still need a roof over their heads to protect them from the summer sunshine and keep out the winter snows. While they could achieve such ends relatively cheaply by using poor quality materials badly fixed in place; they should be aware that property in centers of tourism tends to be much sought after and, if they call in the expert roofers in coeur d’ alene id; the cost of repairing or renovating their roof should be well covered by the resulting increase in the resale value of their home.
