Most-read Stories of 2021

By Karen L. Edwards, RCS COO 

Materials, milestones, product innovations and safety were some of the hottest topics in 2021. 

A new year is a good time to look back at the previous year to not only note the hot topics but to also learn from what happened as we move into 2022. One of the ways we do that at RoofersCoffeeShop® is to take a look at what some of our most-read stories from the year were. 

Our most-read story of the year was not surprisingly related to material shortages and supply chain issues. It’s definitely been a challenge for the industry and remains that way. Understanding the reasons behind the challenge and learning how others are navigating the issues is powerful information.  

Safety, giving back, award-winning projects, innovative products, growing markets, partnerships and being prepared were all part of the top stories of the year. We’ve listed them out below and linked to them for easy reading!
