Our Contractors Top the List of Most Popular Blogs This April

By Karen L. Edwards, RCS Editor.

Here’s what’s trending on RoofersCoffeeShop® this past month.

April followed the trend of crazy weather patterns with much of the country underwater and experiencing storms and heavy rains. Many of you took those down days to catch up on the latest news in the industry through our Week-in-Review e-newsletter and by visiting the Coffee Shop to see what’s new.

One of our most popular article types is when we profile others who work in the roofing industry. That proved true once again as the most-read article was the one where we met Joey Lee III, a foreman with Weatherproofing Technologies, Inc. Close behind Joey was the article where we met Jerry Hillenberg who was able to retire at the young age of 50!

The third most-read article was the announcement from Owens Corning about winning the Women’s Choice Award for the second consecutive year (we all know it’s the woman of the house who is going to pick the style and color, right?) That was followed closely by the Metal Roofing Association’s report on the growing demand for metal roofing. Lastly in the number 5 spot was a new innovation from Tremco with their POWERply Endure membrane.

Typically, we just share the top 5, but this month I am going to share the number 6 spot because it is so critically important to our industry! This spot was held by the Roofing Alliance and how they are funding an industry survey. Understanding even the basics of how many roofing contractors, laborers and roofing professionals work every day can fuel advocacy, funding and investment. The data will help strengthen the NRCA’s voice and role in Washington, D.C. by gathering important statistical data that can be shared with regulatory and federal agencies. It only takes about 7 minutes and you could win prizes!!  You can take the survey here.
