<h2>We had a great time sharing stories and photos over social media with our roofing community!&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>

<p>National Roofing Week is an annual event hosted by the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/nrca">National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA)</a> that aims to raise awareness of the roofing professionals who keep our communities safe and secure. The event also acts as a way to build community with other professionals, both near you and across the country.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Participation in National Roofing Week is primarily conducted online by posting photos and videos through the #NationalRoofingWeek2026 hashtag. And NRCA has created themes for each day of National Roofing Week to guide posts.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Sunday &ndash; Kickoff&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>

<p>The week kicked off with posts about the importance of roofers. NRCA started everything with a post <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZPrA9FkXwj/">sharing the schedule for the week</a> and some highlights from last year&rsquo;s National Roofing Week! Here at The Coffee Shops&trade; we joined in the fun on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZSmQB3hhmA/">all our social media pages</a>, making sure to thank the coating installers, roofing professionals and contractors who make our community amazing.&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Monday &ndash; Signature projects&nbsp;</h3>

<p><img src="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/uploads/media/2026/06/nrca-thats-a-wrap-on-national-roofing-week-2026-1.png" style="float:right; height:330px; margin-left:20px; width:450px" />For the Monday theme, NRCA invited National Roofing Week participants to share photos showcasing their company&rsquo;s signature residential and commercial projects. There were too many amazing projects posted to put them all here, but some that stood out to us came from <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/qxo">QXO</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/sika-corporation">Sika</a> and <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/eagle-roofing-products">Eagle Roofing Products</a>!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZVLN84DeNK/?img_index=4">QXO&rsquo;s post</a> was a carousel of some of their customers projects, including one from Toitures Scott, one from Nedlaw Group and one from RUHS in California. Likewise, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZVtjZsH0KC/?img_index=1">Eagle Roofing Products&rsquo; post</a> showcased signature projects featuring their concrete roof tiles from across the country.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>As for Sika, they took the opportunity to shine the spotlight on their <a href="https://usa.sika.com/sarnafil/en/resource-center/news/2025-roofing-waterproofing-projects-year-winners.html">2025 Sika Project of the Year award winners</a>, which includes stunning projects like the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center project in Los Angeles, California and the South Station Tower project in Boston.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h3><img src="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/uploads/media/2026/06/nrca-thats-a-wrap-on-national-roofing-week-2026-2.jpeg" style="float:left; height:190px; margin-right:20px; width:251px" />Tuesday &ndash; Charitable projects&nbsp;</h3>

<p>The next day of National Roofing Week was all about giving back, and the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/nwir">National Women in Roofing (NWIR)</a> Oregon Council stole the show with a free roof!</p>

<p>The replacement went to a community member in need, which is an incredible reminder of the power our industry has to do good.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZYqEJUGSJY/?img_index=1">They put it best in their post</a>:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Seeing contractors, manufacturers, distributors and industry partners come together with a shared purpose &mdash; without competition, without agendas, and focused solely on helping someone else &mdash; is truly inspiring. For one day, company names and logos took a back seat to teamwork, generosity and service.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Projects like this showcase the heart of our industry. The relationships we build, the willingness to lend a hand, and the collective impact we can make when we work together are some of the best parts of being in roofing.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>

<p>NWIR extended huge thanks to industry partners, like <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/malarkey">Malarkey Roofing Products</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/abc-supply-co-inc">ABC Supply</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/srs-distribution-inc">SRS Building Products</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/owens-corning">Owens Corning</a>, Bliss Roofing and Raindrop Roofing NW, for making this incredible charitable project possible.&nbsp;</p>

For this theme, the #NationalRoofingWeek2026 hashtag was flooded with pictures and appreciations for hardworking workers around the country.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/drexelmetals">Drexel Metals</a> posted some behind-the-scenes of their team hard at work, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZck5CmFJFl/?img_index=1">captioning it</a>, &ldquo;To everyone who continues to show up ready to learn, teach and push the industry forward: thank you.

<p>For Thursday, NRCA chose training as the theme, inviting contractors and companies to share the ways they keep learning and growing on the job. For this theme, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/gaf">GAF</a> joined the party, sharing an incredible milestone from their <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZfTKLHExkg/?img_index=1">GAF Roofing Academy</a> &ndash; since 2020, the tuition-free program has helped more than 3,000 individuals find employment in the roofing industry!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>From Beacon to Kodiak to TopBuild, QXO is using strategic acquisitions to simplify customer-supplier relationships.&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/qxo">QXO</a> made waves in the roofing industry back in 2025 when they acquired the building products giant Beacon Building Supplies. And they have not slowed down since! QXO has continued to grow through strategic acquisitions that both &ldquo;<a href="https://s204.q4cdn.com/433193842/files/doc_presentations/2026/May/11/QXO-May-2026-Investor-Q-A-Final.pdf">increase earnings per share and provide substantial long-term value for customers and shareholders</a>.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Most recently, as a part of this strategy, QXO acquired Kodiak Building Products and TopBuild.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Incorporating Kodiak&nbsp;</h3>

<p>At the beginning of April 2026, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/post/qxo-completes-acquisition-of-kodiak-building-partners">QXO announced the completion of acquisition of Kodiak Building Partners</a>. The deal, which was worth approximately $2.25 billion, expanded QXO&rsquo;s offerings to include the large lumber operations and solid building product portfolio that Kodiak is known for. It was estimated that this growth expanded QXO&rsquo;s addressable market to more than $200 billion.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Joe Checkler, QXO spokesman, explained a bit about the reasoning behind their expansion through Kodiak, &quot;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/post/qxo-completes-acquisition-of-kodiak-building-partners">Lumber was always part of QXO&rsquo;s plan, and this gives us entree into that market. Lumber is crucially important because it&rsquo;s the first point of entry to most projects</a>.&quot;&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Acquiring TopBuild&nbsp;</h3>

<p>In April 2026, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/post/qxo-to-acquire-topbuild-for-17-billion">QXO announced their intent to acquire TopBuild for $17 billion</a>. TopBuild is known for being the largest distributor and installer of insulation products in North America, in fact they clock roughly 22,000 jobsite visits per day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For QXO, bringing their operations into the fold represents a step in their plan to strengthen their position in the overall value chain. As their <a href="https://s204.q4cdn.com/433193842/files/doc_presentations/2026/May/11/QXO-May-2026-Investor-Q-A-Final.pdf">2026 Investor Q&amp;A</a> explained:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<blockquote>
<p>The deal is an important next step in establishing QXO&rsquo;s unique position for value creation. Beacon brought us scale in roofing and waterproofing distribution, and Kodiak expanded our reach into lumber and general contractor channels. Now, TopBuild brings a best-in-class presence in the insulation space, with well-run installation and distribution operations, installer labor and crew management, scheduling expertise, strong on-time job completion record performance and deep contractual relationships.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Their goals with TopBuild include incorporating them into the cohesive QXO team, addressing customer challenges of supply friction and leveraging TopBuild&rsquo;s jobsite access to optimize jobsite intelligence across industries.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h3>The larger plan&nbsp;</h3>

<p>Both of these acquisitions fit into QXO&rsquo;s larger growth and value creation plans which focus on simplifying customer-supplier relationships. That <a href="https://s204.q4cdn.com/433193842/files/doc_presentations/2026/May/11/QXO-May-2026-Investor-Q-A-Final.pdf">2026 Investor Q&amp;A</a> elaborated on this:&nbsp;</p>

<blockquote>
<p>[QXO sees] growth [as coming] from cross-selling, bundled offerings, improved service, enhanced digital tools, CRM capabilities and more systematic use of customer data. We can sell across lumber, siding, decking, windows and doors, insulation, waterproofing and roofing. A key aspect of our value proposition is our ability to maintain sticky relationships with both large builders and smaller local contractors by serving them more completely.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>

<p>In other words, by bringing building supply companies, like Kodiak and TopBuild, together within one brand, QXO is offering customers one-stop-shopping, faster timelines, broader market access and an overall more cohesive service experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://s204.q4cdn.com/433193842/files/doc_presentations/2026/May/11/QXO-May-2026-Investor-Q-A-Final.pdf"><strong>Learn more about QXO&rsquo;s acquisition plans by reading the full 2026 Investor Q&amp;A.</strong></a></p>]]></content:encoded>

<h2>How QXO is advancing its tech-driven strategy with cross-selling and digital transformation.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>In 2025, we brought Matt Fassler, one of the founders of <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/qxo">QXO</a> and their chief strategy officer, on for a Read Listen Watch&reg; (RLW) webinar all about &ldquo;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/rlw/who-is-qxo">what QXO&rsquo;s acquisition of Beacon means for roofing contractors going forward</a>.&rdquo; In that RLW, Matt outlined some of QXO&rsquo;s plans and goals, and how QXO can add value to the building product space through streamlining operations and introducing new technology. Matt explained:&nbsp;</p>

<blockquote>
<p>We like to seek industries that are under-penetrated by technology. We&#39;ve learned to look to acquire companies that have strong foundations but might need that little bit of help integrating technology to keep up. So, as we looked at the roofing industry, we had some ideas on how to use cutting-edge ideas and cutting-edge technology to run distribution more efficiently and in turn, help our customers improve their businesses.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Now, about 9 months after that conversation with Matt, <a href="https://s204.q4cdn.com/433193842/files/doc_presentations/2026/May/11/QXO-May-2026-Investor-Q-A-Final.pdf">QXO&rsquo;s 2026 Investor Q&amp;A</a> gives us insight into where the company is in relation to their goals.&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Optimizing cross-selling to streamline operations&nbsp;</h3>

<p>One of the big things QXO has invested in since we last spoke is cross-selling. This refers to QXO&rsquo;s ability to sell products for all parts of the building envelope. As <a href="https://s204.q4cdn.com/433193842/files/doc_presentations/2026/May/11/QXO-May-2026-Investor-Q-A-Final.pdf">the Investor Q&amp;A</a> put it, &ldquo;Customers want to save time and reduce friction. The concepts that resonate with them are simplification, accuracy, fewer suppliers and bundled solutions. Our organized approach, aligned sales incentives, better data and targeted technology should make the cross-sell measurable and executable.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>An example of the benefit of cross-selling comes from a recent data-center build, where QXO was able to bundle items related to the envelope, roofing, waterproofing and construction in one package, providing incredible value to the customer.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Incorporating technology to boost value&nbsp;</h3>

<p>As for the technological element Matt highlighted in our conversation, QXO has spent the last few months deep diving into how the roofing and construction industries are under-digitized and what can be done to improve. He noted three main ways technology could help the industry:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<blockquote>
<p>First, core systems are often outdated or missing entirely &mdash; particularly in areas like warehouse management, inventory planning, transportation and CRM. Second, there&rsquo;s limited focus on the customer&rsquo;s digital experience, which reduces stickiness and leaves upsell opportunities on the table. Third, technology teams are typically understaffed and over-oriented toward maintenance rather than transformation.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>

<p>They are actively addressing this by implementing new technologies, including pricing tools (Pricefx), inventory management systems (S&amp;OP), asset management software, AI negotiation agents, cybersecurity enhancements and more!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h3>What&rsquo;s next&nbsp;</h3>

<p>Looking ahead, QXO plans to continue building a cross-selling network and improving technology as they work towards a goal of reaching $50 billion in revenue within the decade. Contractors and other professionals can expect to keep seeing QXO&rsquo;s name as they expand their jobsite presence through both integrations and M&amp;As.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>They can also look forward to the roll out of a fully integrated digital platform in 2027. This is planned to incorporate enterprise resource planning (ERP), point-of-sale (POS), warehouse management (WMS), transportation management (TMS), human resources management (HRIS), procure-to-Pay (P2P) and last mile delivery features.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Overall, the goal is to make QXO into an advanced construction product ecosystem that &ldquo;<a href="https://s204.q4cdn.com/433193842/files/doc_presentations/2026/May/11/QXO-May-2026-Investor-Q-A-Final.pdf">dramatically improves productivity, pricing, inventory and the customer experience</a>.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>

<h2>Dataforma and QXO team up to reduce manual processes and strengthen supplier communication.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Commercial roofing contractors have long asked for tighter integration between business management software and supplier ordering systems. Now, a new integration between Dataforma and QXO aims to simplify that process by connecting estimating, purchasing and project management workflows in one platform.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/podcast/brian-cook-gabriela-fornino-streamline-simplify-succeed-dataformas-qxo-integration">In a recent episode of Roofing Road Trips&reg;</a>, Karen Edwards spoke with Brian Cook, COO of <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/dataforma">Dataforma</a>, and Gabriela Fornino, e-commerce change manager at <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/qxo">QXO</a>, about how customer demand helped drive the collaboration and what the integration means for contractors managing increasingly complex operations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Brian said the idea grew naturally from conversations with contractors already using both platforms. &ldquo;Knowing that we worked with such a large number of commercial roofing contractors, it was a natural fit,&rdquo; Brian explained. &ldquo;Within a few months we had an agreement and we were moving.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The integration allows contractors to create requests for pricing, generate purchase orders and manage project costs directly within Dataforma without switching between systems or manually reentering information.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gabriela said the goal was to eliminate repetitive tasks while maintaining the relationships contractors value with their suppliers. &ldquo;We took it and cut steps in half that people were taking in Dataforma previously,&rdquo; Gabriela said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not replacing any relationship that you have or the amount of communication that you would have with the team over at QXO. It&rsquo;s just doing it in a different channel and format.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The integration also gives contractors access to QXO&rsquo;s product catalog and pricing tools during the estimating phase, helping teams develop tighter project estimates before converting them into purchase orders.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Brian noted that user feedback played a critical role throughout development. &ldquo;My whole role now at Dataforma is constantly talking to our contractors and asking, &lsquo;What do you need?&rsquo;&rdquo; Brian shared. &ldquo;If you don&rsquo;t have eyes on it, by the time it goes out, you&rsquo;re missing 10 or 15%.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>For QXO, contractor input was equally important. &ldquo;If it&rsquo;s a product for contractors, it has to be made in part by contractors,&rdquo; Gabriela said. &ldquo;Unless it&rsquo;s efficient in the hands of the user who&rsquo;s going to be using it day in and day out, that&rsquo;s what matters most.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
