Reinventing roofing sales

By Emma Peterson.

Roof Scout debuts on the IRE stage with eCommerce innovation.

One of the best parts of trade show season is getting to see all of our industry friends, both old and new. While at the 2025 International Roofing Expo (IRE), our editor Lauren White got the chance to catch up with our friend Josh Adams from Roof Scout for a quick interview. 2025 marks the first year that Roof Scout has been at IRE as an exhibitor and the energy in the booth was so exciting!  

Roof Scout is the first fully autonomous sales system for contractors. Josh explained, “We built out and partnered with Owens Corning to provide actual total end-to-end solution sales... What we're really trying to do as a former contractor, is elevate the way contractors can do eCommerce.” With this being such a novel idea, the main focus of the Roof Scout’s booth was on demonstrations. Josh elaborated, “We brought some of our podcast studio here so people can sit down and then we'll run through the program with them. When we're doing that, we typically get a line around here, peeking over and seeing what's new.”

It’s been a long journey for Josh and the entire Roof Scout team to get to this point, four years of development alone! But all that hard work was truly showcased in their first IRE booth. Josh shared some thoughts on the show in general, “From what I hear, this is one of the biggest years that they've had. Lots of attendance, met tons of great people. Texas really is just the most welcoming group of people and we've really felt that from the day that we got here. So thank you, Texas, for hosting us, this is a great start to exhibiting at IRE.”
