Former basketball coach Trent Lovewell discusses the unlikely path that brought him to roofing and helped create the ROOFEREES brand. 

For the last 26 years, Trent Lovewell has worked with Weatherguard, Inc., an Omaha-based company and home of the ROOFEREES. Who exactly are the ROOFEREES? To answer that question and more, Megan Ellsworth sat down with Trent for an episode of Stories from the Roof, sponsored by SRS Distribution. 

Meeting on the court 

To answer the question of where the term ROOFEREES comes from, we need to go back to before Trent joined Weatherguard, Inc. and was coaching college basketball at Iowa Western Community College. He recalled, “I was a college basketball coach, and John Higgins was, at the time, a college basketball official. And I would have him come to speak to my sports officiating class over at Iowa Western Community College, we got to know each other and became friends.” Little did Trent know at that point that becoming John's friend would change his career trajectory entirely.  

Enter Weatherguard, Inc. 

In 1984, John started Weatherguard, Inc. and over the next decade or so worked to convince Trent to join him. Trent shared a bit about this time:  

John kept telling me I needed to get out of coaching and into roofing. And I was always like, ‘I don’t know anything about roofing!’ And at some point, I decided I was ready for a change and listened to him. 

The transition from basketball coach to roofer was a challenge that involved a lot of on-the-job learning for Trent, but it was a challenge he rose to with the support of John.  

Becoming the ROOFEREES 

The team moniker of the ROOFEREES came from the shared career shift that Trent and John experienced. As Trent put it, “John was a referee and a roofer, and in my spare time I was still refereeing and coaching a bit, and that's how we came up with the ROOFEREES...It was a joke at first but the local radio station thought it was cool and our community really liked it and we just ran with it.” 

Now, 26 years into his roofing career, Trent couldn’t be happier about being a ROOFEREE, sharing, “It’s a new adventure every day, you never know what happens and it’s great. I get sentimental about it.” 

Listen to the whole episode to hear more of Trent’s story.

Having the right commercial supplier is a gamechanger when it comes to avoiding costly delays and extended timelines. 

In the world of roofing and construction timing can make or break a project. Because if you have a subcrew scheduled, a crane booked, a building closed down and a stretch of good weather but your materials aren’t ready, your entire project can be derailed. But you can avoid this problem by making sure you are working with the right supplier. 

What is the “right” supplier?  

The best roofer-supplier partnerships are based on a deep understanding of how projects actually play out in the field. As a commercial contractor specifically, you want to find a supplier that understands the specific requirements that come with a commercial job.  

What are these requirements? Think about the unique products that a low-slope roof needs as well as the way material delivery must align with installation schedules, staging plans and site constraints. These are all examples of the type of knowledge you want your supplier to have. Because if they don’t understand factors like this, you can run the risk of issues like poorly timed deliveries, extended projects, incorrect material substitutions and increased labor costs.  

How SRS delivers for their contractors 

SRS Distribution is a prime example of a strong commercial supplier partner. In fact, their branches are “staffed with teams who specialize in low‑slope and commercial systems.” These teams are dedicated to understanding the complexities that come with commercial roofing and are experienced in proactively coordinating logistics to keep contractors’ projects on track and efficient.  

Examples of this proactive approach include:  

• Ensuring complete, accurate material packages  
• Assisting with the product selection part of the bidding process 
• Coordinating delivery schedules with project phases and staging space 
• Anticipating potential supply chain disruptions 
• Communicating clearly with contractors and project teams  

Overall, if you are working to keep your business ahead and your projects on schedule, choosing a reliable, knowledgeable supplier like SRS is key to success.

Una alianza que ha impulsado la capacitación, conexión y el crecimiento de los profesionales hispanohablantes de la industria del roofing. 

La colaboración entre SRS Para Latinos y RoofersCoffeeShop comenzó en 2020, incluso antes del lanzamiento del nuevo y mejorado micrositio en español. En ese entonces, Julissa Chavez presentó el contenido en español de RoofersCoffeeShop en el video "SRS para Latinos presenta RoofersCoffeeShop," mostrando el inicio de una relación que con el paso de los años no ha dejado de crecer. 

Durante 2025, la colaboración alcanzó nuevos logros. CertainTeed y SRS Para Latinos celebraron la graduación de contratistas que aprovecharon los recursos y programas de capacitación ofrecidos por ambas compañías. También se compartió contenido sobre el desarrollo de planes de negocio junto con Owens Corning y SRS Distribution, además de destacar cómo el deporte puede fortalecer a la comunidad con el artículo "Fútbol, comunidad y negocios: Una alianza que trasciende la cancha." Ese mismo año también marcó un momento muy especial para RoofersCoffeeShop En Español, ya que fue el primer gran evento cubierto después del lanzamiento oficial del micrositio, donde se destacó la importancia de crear "Un espacio para la comunidad de habla hispana." 

La colaboración no se detuvo en 2026. Al contrario, continuó fortaleciéndose con nuevas iniciativas para seguir reuniendo, capacitando y conectando a la comunidad hispana del roofing. Entre ellas destacan "Las voces que dieron forma a un espacio que fue más que un evento de roofing," la cobertura de IRE 2026 que resaltó el crecimiento del talento hispano en la industria, un episodio de Coffee Conversations: Voices of Impact: SRS Para Latinos MVPs y una entrevista con Julissa Chavez durante el International Builders' Show 2026, donde compartió la historia detrás del nacimiento de SRS Para Latinos. 

Y esto es apenas el comienzo. La colaboración entre SRS y RoofersCoffeeShop continuará impulsando capacitaciones, noticias y espacios para fortalecer la conexión con la comunidad hispanohablante del roofing.

Para el equipo de SRS Distribution, ser más que un simple distribuidor significa convertirse en un verdadero aliado de sus contratistas y representantes. Esa filosofía fue la que los motivó a ayudar a uno de sus clientes a cumplir un gran sueño: asistir a la Copa Mundial de la FIFA. Como explicó Aaron Bryant, Territory Manager de SRS, “Con frecuencia hablamos de las alianzas que tenemos tanto con nuestros clientes como con nuestros representantes de fabricantes… En SRS Distribution Inc. creemos que crear recuerdos es una parte fundamental para fortalecer esas relaciones.” 

Esa visión va mucho más allá de experiencias de viaje inolvidables. SRS quiere conocer las metas, aspiraciones y proyectos que inspiran a los contratistas con los que trabaja todos los días. Ya sea conseguir su primer gran proyecto de techado comercial, expandir su negocio hacia la instalación de sistemas solares, completar un proyecto emblemático en su comunidad o enfrentar el trabajo más grande y técnicamente desafiante que su equipo haya realizado, SRS quiere escuchar su historia. 

Y el sueño de asistir al Mundial no es el único que SRS quiere ayudar a hacer realidad. La compañía está invitando a sus contratistas a compartir el proyecto de sus sueños. Tal vez sea ese proyecto comercial más grande que cualquier otro que su empresa haya realizado, o la instalación de su primer sistema solar. Sea cual sea el reto que forme parte de su lista de metas, SRS quiere conocerlo. 

Al conocer las aspiraciones de sus clientes, SRS busca encontrar nuevas maneras de apoyarlos en su crecimiento y celebrar cada uno de sus logros. Después de todo, las mejores alianzas consisten en ayudarse mutuamente a alcanzar nuevas metas, ya sea alentando desde las gradas de una Copa del Mundo o trabajando juntos en un proyecto que alguna vez pareció imposible.

Strategic material staging and supplier partnerships can be the difference between a profitable project and costly delays. 

In roofing, the old adage that “time is money” couldn’t be truer. As Ashley Pietsch of Integrity Insurance and Bonding puts it, “After years of working alongside roofing contractors, I have seen that the owners who achieve long-lasting growth are the ones who master time management and embrace delegation.” 

In response to the emphasis the industry places on the importance of time, contractors are incorporating new digital programs and roofing tools to help improve their efficiency in both the field and the office. But one area that is often forgotten when it comes to streamlining the roofing process happens between the two – material staging, sequencing and timing.  

Getting materials to the jobsite might seem simple in comparison to trying to accurately quote a project or install products tens of feet in the air, but it is more complex than you might assume at first glance. As Nick Fryer writes for Roads and Bridges, “Jobsite staging doesn’t just shape where equipment and materials get stored. It also affects the overall workflow. Done poorly, it can lead to several issues that quietly drain construction budgets.” These issues can include material damage, safety hazards and frustrated crew members.  

What can you do to avoid these material staging issues? Partner with the right supplier. As the writers behind RoofCon put it, “The movement of materials from delivery to installation represents one of the biggest opportunities for efficiency gains in roofing projects. Creating a smooth flow requires careful coordination between suppliers, delivery crews and roofing teams.” 

This type of coordination is something that the team at SRS Distribution prioritizes. Their team is well-aware of the often-limited space contractors are working with on their projects and have a variety of strategies already in place to help with staging and sequencing materials:  

• Supportive team: SRS Distribution territory managers are always ready to help! Whether it’s consultations on products, sales insights or helping you figure out how to stage a jobsite, they are there for you. 
• Extensive product selection: Your local branch will already be well stocked with the best commercial products from manufacturers like Carlisle, Johns Manville, GAF, Elevate and Versico. And if they don’t have it on site, they can get it there from one of their 200+ other locations!  
• A powerful delivery network: At SRS Distribution, they have their own fleet of trucks and knuckle booms that keep project deliveries on track! Some SRS Distribution locations are even equipped with will-call programs that make sure that contractors get the right products when they need them. 

Overall, working with a supplier like SRS Distribution that understands the limited space on jobsites and the importance of properly staging materials is key to saving time and money on your projects.

Have a bucket list build? Tell SRS Distribution about it!  

For the SRS Distribution team, they want to be more than just another distributor – they want to be their contractors’ and representatives’ partner. And that’s exactly what motivated them to help one of their clients check off a massive bucket list item – attend the World Cup! As SRS Territory Manager Aaron Bryant explained, “We often talk about partnerships with both clients and our manufacturer reps… at SRS Distribution Inc. we believe that making memories is an integral component to strengthening those partnerships.” 

That philosophy extends beyond unforgettable travel experiences. SRS wants to know what ambitions, goals and dream projects are motivating the contractors they work with every day. Whether it's landing your first major commercial roofing project, expanding into solar installation, completing a landmark reroofing job in your community or tackling the largest and most technically challenging project your team has ever undertaken, SRS wants to hear about it. 

And this one client’s World Cup dream isn’t the only bucket list item SRS wants to hear about – they've put out the call for their contractors to tell them about their dream projects! Maybe that’s a commercial roofing project larger than any your team has tackled before or installing your first solar panel. Whatever project is on your bucket list, SRS wants you to tell them about it.  

By learning more about their customers’ aspirations, SRS hopes to find new ways to support their growth and celebrate their successes. After all, the best partnerships are about helping one another reach new heights — whether that means cheering from the stands at the World Cup or standing together on a jobsite that once felt out of reach.
