Now in its seventh year, the Profit Power series has brought together thousands of roofing contractors through more than 40 workshops across North America.</p>

<p>&quot;Roofing contractors don&#39;t need more theory, they need experienced professionals giving them tools to apply the very next day,&quot; said&nbsp;Jack Gottesman, marketing and brand director at IKO North America. He went on, &quot;That&#39;s what Profit Power is all about. Whether it&#39;s winning more business, finding new revenue opportunities, building stronger teams or learning from industry leaders, contractors leave every workshop ready to put what they&#39;ve learned into action.&quot;</p>

<p>In Portland and Boston, contractors combined business education with friendly competition during golf-themed workshops featuring expert-led sessions on sales, marketing, workforce development, leadership and roofing industry trends, followed by networking at Topgolf. Both events featured former ESPN anchor Steve Bunin and Dhaval Gajjar, director of the center for roofing onnovation &amp; leadership at Clemson University and the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/roofing-alliance" target="_blank">Roofing Alliance</a>. Kevin Nelson, district sales manager, IKO Metals, joined the speaker lineup in Boston, while Jessica Stahl, president of Ignite Results, presented in Portland.</p>

<p>In Houston, the workshop took place at Constellation Field, the Astro&rsquo;s AAA Affiliate, where roofing professionals traded job sites for batting practice and business strategy. The value of the event was evident when one contractor arrived directly from a roofing job &mdash; hands still covered in dirt, determined not to miss the opportunity to learn from industry experts such as Travis Jones, owner of Smart Roof &amp; Home Performance and Mathew Mulholland, dean of the building experts Institute and founder of Listen To This Bull.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/iko" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/uploads/media/2026/07/iko-why-roofing-contractors-are-making-time-for-ikos-profit-power-workshops-boston.jpg" style="float:right; height:263px; margin-left:20px; width:350px" /></a>Across all three cities, contractors stayed long after the presentations ended, exchanging ideas, discussing real-world business challenges and building relationships with fellow roofing professionals and industry experts.&nbsp;Attendees also learned about&nbsp;IKO&rsquo;s manufacturing excellence,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbULSIgLzkcc" target="_blank">vertical integration</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/yVMUxkbJJcg" target="_blank">ROOFPRO</a>&nbsp;contractor loyalty program.</p>

<p>For the latest Profit Power workshop schedule and updates, stay tuned to IKO&#39;s social media channels. As attendance continues to grow in new markets, the series is reinforcing its reputation as one of the industry&#39;s premier educational and networking events for roofing contractors.</p>

<h2>Why every contractor should nominate an employee for the Roofing Alliance MVP Awards.</h2>

<p>Every year our industry talks about labor shortages. We discuss recruiting, training, wages and benefits, all of which are incredibly important. But after sitting in the audience at the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/roofing-alliance" target="_blank">Roofing Alliance</a> <a href="https://roofingalliance.net/Programs/MVP/" target="_blank">Most Valuable Player Awards</a> during the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/ire" target="_blank">International Roofing Expo (IRE)</a>&nbsp;this past year, I was reminded that one of the most powerful tools we have for retaining great employees isn&rsquo;t a new program or a bigger paycheck. It is simply making people feel valued.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As I watched the awards ceremony unfold, I found myself looking around the room as much as I watched the stage. Families were beaming with pride. Company owners were smiling ear to ear. Coworkers were cheering for one another. It wasn&rsquo;t just another awards presentation. It was a celebration of the people who quietly make our industry stronger every single day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The roofing industry has always been built on hardworking individuals who show up before sunrise, solve problems when no one else can and take pride in doing the job right. They lead crews, mentor younger workers, protect their teammates and represent their companies with professionalism. Most of them never ask for recognition. In fact, many would probably rather avoid the spotlight altogether. That is exactly why the Roofing Alliance MVP Awards are so special. They shine a light on the people who rarely seek it but deserve it more than anyone.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As contractors, we spend a great deal of time talking about company culture. We know it matters because today&rsquo;s workforce has choices. Skilled employees want more than a paycheck. They want to work somewhere they feel respected, appreciated and connected to a team. They want to know that their contributions matter and that someone notices the effort they put in every day. Recognition is one of the simplest ways to build that kind of culture, yet it is often overlooked.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Watching the MVP Awards made that crystal clear. Every person recognized on that stage represented much more than individual achievement. They represented companies that took the time to tell their employees, &ldquo;You matter.&rdquo; That message resonates far beyond one evening at the International Roofing Expo. It comes back to the office, the warehouse and the jobsite. It becomes part of the company&rsquo;s story and reinforces the kind of culture every contractor hopes to build.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One of the most memorable moments of the evening was watching the team from <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/wagner-roofing" target="_blank">Wagner Roofing</a>, who sat in front of our table, celebrate as foreman Ariel Lemus was recognized for Outstanding Performance and Leadership. You could feel the pride coming from everyone who was there to support him. After more than two decades with Wagner Roofing, Ariel has become known not only for his exceptional craftsmanship but also for mentoring the next generation of sheet metal roofers. It was obvious that his company wasn&rsquo;t simply celebrating an employee. It was a celebration of someone who has helped shape their culture for years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another inspiring story was Kenny Rodriguez, warehouse foreman for OMG Building Products, who received the Outstanding Community Involvement Award. Kenny&rsquo;s leadership extends well beyond the workplace. Along with mentoring coworkers and helping drive operational excellence, he serves as a pastor and volunteers throughout his community. His story reminded everyone in the room that great employees don&rsquo;t stop making a difference when they leave work each day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The evening culminated with the announcement of the Best of the Best Award, presented to Armando Landeros Solis, superintendent for Commercial Roofers Inc. After 25 years with the company, Armando has worked his way from apprentice to one of the organization&rsquo;s most respected leaders. His humility, enthusiasm, commitment to mentoring his crew and dedication to both his company and his community made him a perfect example of what the MVP program represents. Watching his coworkers celebrate his accomplishment was every bit as inspiring as seeing him accept the award.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As I left the ceremony, I couldn&rsquo;t stop thinking about what those moments mean back at each of these companies. Imagine being the employee who returns home after receiving one of the roofing industry&rsquo;s highest honors. Imagine the pride your coworkers feel knowing one of their own was recognized on a national stage. Those experiences strengthen culture in ways that no employee handbook or mission statement ever could.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Roofing Alliance is now accepting nominations for its next class of Most Valuable Player Awards, and I sincerely hope contractors across the industry take advantage of the opportunity. We all have exceptional people working within our organizations whose stories deserve to be told. Think about the individual everyone depends on, the person who mentors new employees, keeps the crew motivated and quietly leads by example. Taking the time to nominate them may be one of the most meaningful investments you make in your culture all year.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://forms.nrca.net/Form/Launch/8021dc7e-d41c-41ec-8f83-87832cd69a43 " target="_blank"><strong>Nominate someone today.</strong></a></p>]]></content:encoded>

<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>

<h3>Wednesday &ndash; Employee appreciation&nbsp;</h3>

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. Your commitment is what drives stronger partnerships, better projects and continued progress year after year.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>The SkillsUSA 2026 Championship will connect students, educators, contractors and manufacturers through hands-on skilled trades competitions.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>After a year of honing their skills and participating in local competitions, students from across the country are set to compete at the culminating event: the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/skillsusa">SkillsUSA</a> 2026 Championship. Taking place at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta from June 1-5, 2026, the event brings together more that 6,700 state champions competing across 114 skilled and leadership contests as part of the broader National Leadership &amp; Skills Conference (NLSC).&nbsp;</p>

<p>On top of providing the platform for students to compete and showcase their talent, the SkillsUSA program builds the next generation of skilled professionals and elevates the value of careers in the trades. Roofing continues to expand its presence at the event as students can explore career opportunities and compete in roofing-related challenges including Commercial Roofing and Teamwork. According to the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/nrca">National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA)</a>, the competitions are designed to connect career and technical education students with real-world industry opportunities while helping address the skilled labor shortage facing roofing contractors nationwide.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here at RoofersCoffeeShop&reg;, we are excited to be a sponsor of the NRCA Roofing Pavilion, the event&rsquo;s central hub for students and CTE teachers to connect with industry professionals on training and career opportunities.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Additional sponsors supporting the NRCA booth include <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/abc-supply-co-inc">ABC Supply</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/central-states-manufacturing-inc">Central States Manufacturing</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/georgia-pacific">Georgia-Pacific Building Products</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/johns-manville-2">Johns Manville</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/elevate">Elevate&trade;</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/ib-roof-systems">IB Roof Systems&trade;</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/leister">Leister</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/nrp">National Roofing Partners</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/nwir">National Women in Roofing (NWIR)</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/qxo">QXO</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/roofing-alliance">Roofing Alliance</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/rt3">Roofing Technology Think Tank (RT3)</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/srs-distribution-inc">SRS Distribution</a> and <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/tamko">TAMKO&reg;</a>. This robust participation reflects industry-wide collaboration to help SkillsUSA continue to grow as a pipeline for skilled professionals entering the trades.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The SkillsUSA Championships have become a critical recruiting and education platform for the roofing industry. NRCA notes if even 5% of SkillsUSA students entered roofing careers, the industry could gain more than 5,000 new workers annually.&nbsp;</p>
