By Evelyn Witterholt. 

Here’s what’s been trending on RoofersCoffeeShop® (RCS) this past October. 

When looking at our most-popular articles in October, it looks like metal roofing is still a topic that interests our readers. One of our top articles was a piece by our COO, Karen L. Edwards, who highlighted a beautiful metal roofing project on a high school in Manorville, New York. Another one of our most-read articles was about the history of Malco Products, a leading manufacturer of tools for sheet metal contractors. 

Communication is key when it comes to running a business effectively. That’s why one of our top articles last month was all about the power of communication. In her piece, Monica Vornbrock from The GLO Group goes into depth about what it takes to communicate effectively, including how to establish mutual trust and how to give constructive criticism. 

Our most-popular article from October was all about ladder safety. This article came to us from the safety experts at The RIDGEPRO® who outline all the industry standards contractors must know when it comes to ladder safety. All it takes is one mistake with a ladder to hurt someone, so check out this article to save a life!
