Construction season is in full swing with the long summer days and better weather. Here at The Coffee Shops™ we have also been busy this last month!
One of our most-read articles from July 2025 came from Dani Sheehan and focused on how changes to federal programs granting temporary legal status and work authorization affect the roofing industry. In her article, she highlights that the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) and other allied business associations sent an official letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) asking for clear guidance and a transition period to help businesses comply with these changes. She explained, “As this letter to DHS underscores, employers and employees need time and clarity to ensure they are following the law properly. As the rules shift, it’s critical that business owners anticipate coming changes to remain compliant and to protect the skilled workers who help keep your company running.”
There has also been a lot of talk about customizing your technological tools to work better for your company. Jesse Sanchez wrote one article about a MetalTalk with Dave Chapman from Estimating Edge about the importance of tech stacks while Emma Peterson wrote about tech in terms of SRS Distribution’s Roof Hub program.
Another trend we’ve seen in the last month is a continuing emphasis on training and partnerships. Our list features multiple articles about these topics, including an article about how Tremco Roofing is bringing training to contractors and one about how partnering with manufacturers like Commercial Distribution Specialists (CDS) can boost your bottom line!
