Highlights from the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance’s annual advocacy Fly-In to Washington, D.C.  

As the primary voice for the concrete and clay tile roofing industry, one of the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance’s (TRIA) most important roles is to highlight the concerns of their members on a national level. One of the ways they do this is through their annual Washington, D.C. Fly-In. This Fly-In is an opportunity for tile industry professionals to get face-to-face meetings with government officials to talk about policies that impact the industry.  

This year, the Fly-In was hosted April 13-16, 2026, in conjunction with the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA)’s Roofing Day in D.C. event. Overall, the Fly-In was a great success in boosting the TRIA’s visibility on Capitol Hill, enhancing their mission to be a voice for the industry and bringing the concerns of the tile roofing industry to policymakers. Keep reading to learn more about what the TRIA team did during this year’s Fly-In. 

Meetings began the morning of April 14 with Senator Jon Husted (Republican-Ohio) where the TRIA team discussed the More Homes on the Market Act (H.R. 1340/S. 3332) to double the capital gains exemption for selling a residence. This was followed by a visit to the office of Senator Bernie Moreno (Republican-Ohio) who arranged for a private tour of the U.S. Capitol, starting with a trip on the Senators’ subway to the Capitol Building. 

Afternoon meetings started with House Education and Workforce Committee majority staff Brad Mannion and Kane Riddell in the law library to discuss DOL, NLRB and OSHA issues. From there, the TRIA team met with Representative Ryan Mackenzie (Republican -Pennsylvania), chairman of the subcommittee on workforce protections, at the Capitol Hill Club to urge action on OSHA’s Multi-Employer Citation Doctrine and also the support the More Homes on the Market Act.     

TRIA’s April 14 meeting schedule concluded with Representative Troy Balderson (R-Ohio) who sits on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and expressed interest in the More Homes on the Market Act. The TRIA team’s dinner that night was at The Monocle which is adjacent to the Senate buildings and featured a lively discussion led off by special guest Jon Baselice, who formerly headed immigration policy for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. 

On Wednesday, April 15, the TRIA team joined all Roofing Day attendees for presentations at the hotel followed by meetings on Capitol Hill to lobby for immigration reform, career and technical education programs and bills to spur affordable housing.

Eagle Roofing Product’s John Campbell chaired NRCA’s Roofing Day Committee and TRIA President Rick Olson introduced the morning’s congressional speaker, Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi (Democrat-Illinois).

TRIA’s DC Fly-In concluded on April 16 with a meeting at the National Association of Home Builders and its policy staff: Porter Graham (labor, safety and health), Mackenzie Payne (legal), Sam Gilboard (workforce, immigration) and JP Delmore (tax policy).  Mutual issues discussed were OSHA’s Heat Rule and Multi-Enforcement Citation Doctrine, workforce development legislation, the DIGNITY Act and other immigration proposals and affordable housing legislation. Also discussed was the highly effective Construction Industry Safety Coalition which NAHB coordinates and TRIA founded. 

The TRIA would like to extend a huge thanks to those who participated in the 2026 D.C. Fly-In. To learn more about TRIA and how they advocate for the industry, please email President Rick Olson, Rolson@tileroofing.org, and/or visit www.tileroofing.org.

Learn how reflectivity and thermal mass work together to reduce energy use and stabilize indoor temperatures. 

As energy costs continue to climb and performance standards evolve, roofing systems are increasingly evaluated by how effectively they manage heat. For contractors and building owners, that shift is placing greater emphasis on materials that contribute to overall building efficiency, not just protection. Concrete roof tile has emerged as a strong option, with manufacturers like Eagle Roofing Products highlighting how reflectivity and thermal mass work together to improve energy performance in a measurable way. 

The first of these properties, reflectivity, helps limit how much heat a building absorbs. Concrete roof tiles are manufactured from sand, cement, water and iron oxide, with cement providing a naturally reflective foundation. This composition allows the roof to reflect a larger portion of solar radiation rather than converting it into heat within the building envelope. Within Eagle’s product portfolio, certain color blends are designated as Cool Roof®, developed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than standard roofing systems. According to the Department of Energy, this can translate into reduced energy use and lower cooling costs over time. 

While reflectivity reduces heat gain, thermal mass controls how heat moves through the structure. Concrete tiles are dense and thick, enabling them to absorb and store heat throughout the day instead of allowing it to transfer directly into the attic space. This slows the rate of heat penetration, helping reduce the workload on air conditioning systems during peak temperatures. 

That stored heat is then released gradually as temperatures drop. In the evening, this process helps maintain a more consistent indoor environment, reducing sharp temperature swings that can strain heating and cooling systems. By moderating these fluctuations, the roof contributes to more stable performance across changing conditions. 

Together, reflectivity and thermal mass create a roofing system that supports both occupant comfort and long-term energy efficiency. Ongoing research, including a multi-year field study with the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance (TRIA), is expected to provide additional insight into how these systems perform in real-world environments. 

For professionals evaluating roofing options, concrete tile offers a practical, performance-driven solution, one that delivers energy efficiency through material properties that work continuously over the life of the roof.

Contractors face changes in insurance, trade policy and labor regulations that could impact costs and operations. 

Federal policy changes are increasingly shaping the operating environment for roofing contractors, influencing how projects are priced, staffed and executed. According to the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance (TRIA), recent developments across mortgage insurance, tariffs and labor regulations are not occurring in isolation; they are converging in ways that affect both financial planning and jobsite decision-making. 

The most immediate shift centers on homeowners insurance requirements tied to federally backed mortgages. The Federal Housing Finance Agency, which regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, has updated its standards to allow Actual Cash Value coverage for roofs in place of full Replacement Cost Value. Given that these government-sponsored enterprises support more than $8.5 trillion in the U.S. mortgage market, the adjustment carries broad implications. By changing how roofs are valued in insurance policies, the revision may influence whether homeowners opt for repair or replacement, altering the conversations contractors must navigate from the outset of a project. 

At the same time, volatility in trade policy continues to cloud material cost forecasting. A Supreme Court ruling invalidated tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, prompting the administration to introduce a temporary 10% tariff under the Trade Act of 1974. With that measure capped at 150 days unless extended by Congress, it provides only short-term stability. Efforts are now underway to establish replacement tariffs under separate authorities, while federal agencies work through refunds for more than 300,000 entities that paid the original duties. For contractors, this evolving landscape reinforces the need for tighter procurement strategies and more responsive pricing models. 

Beyond costs, regulatory changes are also reshaping workforce considerations. Federal agencies have withdrawn or proposed revisions to rules governing joint-employer status and independent contractor classifications, signaling a shift in how labor relationships may be defined and enforced. In parallel, OSHA’s proposed heat rule faces pushback, and the Environmental Protection Agency has revoked a prior greenhouse gas endangerment finding, reflecting a broader reassessment of workplace and environmental policy. 

These developments are unfolding against the backdrop of a partial Department of Homeland Security shutdown affecting agencies such as FEMA and TSA. While indirect, the disruption highlights how federal instability can ripple into areas like emergency response and project coordination. 

Taken together, the changes point to a regulatory environment in flux. For roofing contractors, staying informed is no longer a passive exercise; it is a critical part of maintaining consistency, managing risk and protecting margins as external conditions continue to shift.

Recent federal actions on tariffs, agency funding and industry advocacy are redefining the operating environment for contractors and suppliers. 

Federal policy activity in Washington is taking on greater relevance for roofing contractors as decisions on tariffs, agency funding and industry advocacy begin to intersect. Updates from the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance (TRIA) suggest that what were once separate policy discussions are now converging in ways that directly influence material costs, project planning and broader business strategy. 

The clearest example is unfolding through recent tariff rulings tied to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). After the Supreme Court struck down the tariffs, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) moved to address how previously collected payments should be handled. In early March, the court directed Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to reliquidate affected entries without the tariffs, effectively requiring refunds. A follow-up clarification on March 27 extended that directive to include entries that had already reached final liquidation, removing a key barrier for importers seeking reimbursement. 

That expansion carries practical implications. By reopening entries previously considered closed, the ruling reduces the need for formal protests or additional litigation, streamlining the refund process. Even so, the timeline remains uncertain. The administration has until May 4 to appeal the decision, leaving contractors and suppliers watching closely to see how quickly those refunds may materialize. 

At the same time, legislative activity is shaping the agencies that oversee trade and enforcement. A recent standoff over Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding highlighted divisions between the House and Senate, particularly around Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and CBP. While that impasse appears to be easing, with House leadership signaling it will consider the Senate’s funding approach alongside a separate reconciliation bill, the episode represents how funding debates can influence the broader regulatory environment. 

Against this backdrop, TRIA is continuing to advance its policy priorities through direct engagement on Capitol Hill. The organization’s upcoming fly-in includes meetings with lawmakers connected to energy, commerce and workforce policy, as well as conversations with housing industry stakeholders, reinforcing its role in representing contractor interests in federal discussions. 

Together, these developments point to a more interconnected policy landscape. Legal rulings, funding negotiations and coordinated advocacy are no longer isolated factors; they are collectively shaping the economic and regulatory conditions contractors must navigate in the months ahead.

Learn how proposed immigration reform aims to balance border security with workforce stability in the roofing industry. 

Roofing contractors across the United States are continuing to navigate persistent labor shortages that are affecting project timelines, increasing costs and limiting long-term growth. As these pressures intensify, industry organizations are turning their attention to federal policy as a potential path forward. The Tile Roofing Industry Alliance (TRIA) is among those advocating for legislation that addresses workforce needs. 

In July 2025, TRIA formally signed a letter of support for the DIGNITY Act (H.R. 4393), officially titled the Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act. Introduced by Representatives Maria Elvira Salazar and Veronica Escobar, the bill is expected to gain momentum this year. TRIA Director John Campbell plans to raise the issue during National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) Roofing Day in Washington, D.C., in April, demonstrating the organization’s ongoing government relations efforts. 

At the core of TRIA’s position is the belief that immigration policy must reflect both enforcement priorities and economic realities. The organization supports securing U.S. borders as close to 100% as possible while also expanding legal workforce pathways, including new guest worker programs for construction. That dual focus reflects the industry’s reliance on skilled labor and the need for a consistent, legally authorized workforce to maintain safety standards and quality workmanship. 

The DIGNITY Act attempts to address both sides of that equation. Its provisions include enhanced border security measures such as physical barriers, advanced technology and mandatory E-Verify, alongside reforms to the asylum system that introduce faster processing timelines and stricter penalties for fraud. 

At the same time, the legislation outlines a structured workforce solution through the proposed Dignity Program. This program would grant a seven-year temporary legal status to qualifying undocumented individuals, contingent on background checks and restitution payments. While it does not provide a pathway to citizenship, it would allow participants to live and work legally in the United States. 

Beyond enforcement and legalization measures, the bill also invests in workforce development, allocating funding for apprenticeships, job training and education to help address labor shortages in critical industries, including construction. 

With bipartisan support and growing attention, TRIA continues to advocate for policies that align immigration reform with the operational realities of the roofing industry.

From immigration and labor policies to tariffs and federal funding, learn about the legal changes impacting the industry. 

As we get closer to April and the National Roofing Contractors Association’s annual Roofing Day in D.C., advocacy is top of mind for many professionals and leaders in the roofing industry. With pressing topics like tariffs and immigration, there’s a lot that needs to be discussed with the policymakers on the Hill. To learn about some of these issues specifically in relation to tile roofing, the Tile Roofing Alliance (TRI Alliance)’s lobbyist, Craig Brightup, shared a government relations update for February 2026.  

DHS shutdown  

Eleven of the twelve appropriations bills for FY26 have been enacted through September 30, but Senate Democrats balked at funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over issues concerning Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Consequently, a DHS shutdown has been in effect since February 13, which impacts the Coast Guard, FEMA, TSA, Secret Service and cybersecurity teams. ICE and Border Patrol are not impacted by the shutdown due to $75B in funding from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.  

TRIA DC fly-in  

Plans are underway for TRIA’s Fly-In taking place April 13-16 in conjunction with Roofing Day in DC.  The TRIA Team numbers 12 and meetings on Capitol Hill and at the National Association of Home Builders are being finalized.  

Tariffs  

On February 20, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) issued a 6-3 decision that President Trump’s tariffs using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) are not legal. In response, President Trump supplanted the IEEPA tariffs with 10% - 15% tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 which are limited to 150 days unless extended by Congress (which won’t happen). Thus, Sec. 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 will be used more extensively, and possibly Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930: 

The Trade Act of 1974, Sec. 122, empowers the President to impose tariffs of up to 15% to address balance-of-payment issues, but only for 150 days unless extended by Congress. 

The Trade Act of 1974, Sec. 301, and Trade Expansion Act of 1962, Sec. 232, have been used in President Trump’s first and second terms for tariffs but the U.S. Trade Representative must investigate before Sec. 301 tariffs can be imposed, and the Dept. of Commerce must do the same for Sec. 232 tariffs (steel, aluminum, copper), and the process for both can take many months to complete. 

The Tariff Act of 1930, Sec. 338, gives the President discretion for tariffs up to 50% when a foreign country has taken actions that disadvantage U.S. commerce, but the statute has been mostly unused and never been subject to legal challenge.    

Finally, with the SCOTUS decision silent on the issue of IEEPA tariff refunds, there have already been high-profile company lawsuits filed with the U.S. Court of International Trade. However, payment of such refunds could take a very long time.   

NLRB Joint-Employer rule  

On February 26, the National Labor Relations Board withdrew a Biden-era joint-employer rule and reinstated a 2020 rule from the first Trump Administration that establishes when a company is deemed a joint employer under federal labor law.  

DOL Independent Contractor rule  

On February 25, the Department of Labor (DOL) released a proposed rulemaking to rescind the Biden Administration’s independent contractor regulation and replace it with the regulation issued at the end of the first Trump Administration.  

EPA rescinds GHG endangerment finding  

On February 12, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revoked a 2009 endangerment finding that determined carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare, forming the legal basis for nearly all climate regulations under the Clean Air Act for motor vehicles, power plants and other sources. However, this EPA action only applies to auto emissions and fuel economy standards for now.

From Capitol Hill negotiations to OSHA rulemaking, new federal developments are creating ripple effects that tile roofing professionals cannot afford to ignore. 

As Washington recalibrates budgets, agency leadership and regulatory priorities, the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance (TRIA) is closely tracking the policy shifts poised to influence contractors, manufacturers and suppliers nationwide. From tax provisions that impact commercial roofing investments to proposed labor standards that could redefine jobsite requirements, TRIA continues to position the tile roofing sector at the center of critical legislative conversations, ensuring its members remain informed, represented and prepared for what comes next. 

Government shutdown ends 

The longest government shutdown in U.S. history ended November 12 with eight Democrats joining Republicans in the Senate for a bill to reopen.  Democrats had demanded Biden-era Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies that expire December 1 be renewed by withholding Senate votes for a House-passed Continuing Resolution.  The bill brokered by Senate Republicans extends federal funding through January 30 for most programs and September 30 (the end of FY25) for three appropriations bills: Agriculture, Military Construction and Legislative Branch.  Despite the shutdown ploy, Democrats failed to get an extension of the ACA subsidies nor $1.5 trillion of additional spending they wanted.  Ways & Means Chair Jason Smith explained the ACA subsidies’ costs and fraud on Nov. 30’s FNC Sunday Morning Futures (If Covid Subsidies Can't Expire, Budget Cuts Are Impossible) and Republicans are working on a health care package with market reforms. 

Trump administration staffing 

November saw a number of agency leaders sworn in at the Dept. of Labor (DOL) including Dave Keeling (OSHA), Jonathan Berry (Solicitor) and Andrew Rogers (Wage and Hour Division). 

IRS inflation adjustments for 2026 

An IRS Bulletin for 2026 inflation adjustments (attached) includes Sec.179 (page 703) which will be $2,560,000 for the expensing cap. Sec. 179 applies to commercial roofing per the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. 

U.S. Chamber’s Labor Relations Committee 

The U.S. Chamber’s Labor Relations Committee met November 6-7 with the OSHA, NLRA, Immigration and EEOC subcommittees meeting November 6.  OSHA’s proposed Heat Standard dominated the OSHA subcommittee with a focus on why replicating the Silica Rule’s Table 1 engineering controls in the Heat Standard is a bad idea.  

Bill introduced to stop OSHA Heat Standard 

On November 20, Rep. Mark Messmer (R-IN) introduced the Heat Workforce Standards Act of 2025 which would prevent OSHA’s proposed Heat Standard from being finalized.  At a fundraising breakfast I attended for Rep. Messmer, he said he’d introduce the bill after being told by White House staff that President Trump would sign it.

From stalled nominations to deregulatory moves, the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance is keeping close watch on the latest updates and speaking up on Capitol Hill. 

As the political landscape in Washington heats up ahead of the 2026 election cycle, the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance (TRIA) is staying firmly in the mix. With seasoned lobbyist Craig Brightup leading its government affairs push, TRIA is tracking major developments that could reshape federal labor policy, environmental regulation and small business classifications. From key Trump-era nominees stuck in a Senate gridlock to proposed rollbacks at the EPA and SBA, TRIA’s latest advocacy update signals a critical moment for contractors and the roofing industry at large. 

DOL regulatory agenda

In mid-August, the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs briefly posted a regulatory agenda for the Dept. of Labor on its website before taking it down.  Agenda items included DOL’s Wage and Hour Division revising Biden-era regulations on what constitutes joint-employers for minimum wage and overtime violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and what determines whether a worker is an independent contractor or employee under the FLSA. The independent contractor test is especially important for construction and in May the Trump DOL directed staff not to enforce the Biden-era regulations.  Regarding OSHA, the agenda indicated the heat rulemaking will continue, and an “OSHA Standards Improvement Project 2025” was listed with no details.             

NLRB preemptive authority and constitutionality

An August memo from the National Labor Relations Board’s Acting General Counsel warned that state laws to adjudicate disputes between workers and businesses are preempted by federal law.  This was done in response to Democrat-run states introducing bills to police labor disputes while the NLRB operates without a quorum.  Also, on August 18, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with SpaceX by upholding judicial orders blocking the NLRB from taking actions against it.   SpaceX is challenging the Constitutionality of the NLRB’s structure.        

EPA to rescind GHG endangerment finding

On July 29, EPA proposed to rescind its 2009 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Endangerment Finding.  Per EPA’s website, the agency never had authority under the Clean Air Act to prescribe standards for GHG emissions.  The attached one-pager explains this important deregulatory action.  

SBA proposes increasing small business size standards

On August 22, the Small Business Administration issued the attached proposal to increase monetary-based small business size standards for 263 industries, but the threshold for roofing contractors (NAICS code 238160) appears to have been kept at $19 million (page 41238).

Learn about Carol G. Bowen, TRIA’s new Florida-based lobbyist. 

For more than 50 years, the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance (TRIA) has worked to expand the tile roofing market by promoting its benefits and offering trusted technical expertise, certification programs and training. Part of TRIA’s work is to meet with government officials to advocate for tile roofing and construction issues.  

TRIA added a new member to their lobbying team: Carol G. Bowen. 

Carol has an extensive background in government affairs related to construction which makes her a strong fit to represent TRIA and advocate for legislation to support the industry.  

A word from Carol: 

"I am honored for the opportunity to serve as a lobbyist for the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance in Tallahassee. I believe that construction is one of the least understood but often overlooked industries, and it is a privilege to help change that mindset on behalf of the TRIA. 

Construction isn't a matter of simply building something so you can walk away from it. It's about building something that helps define a space, shape landscapes, withstand the elements and provide comfort and shelter. It's about workforce education and training and providing high paying job opportunities. I always say that construction isn't an industry of last resort, but instead, the best first career option for people interested in learning a trade and perfecting a skill. 

One of the most impressive things about the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance isn't just the belief in their product and the work that they do, but the investments they make to study their materials, make advancements in their roofing processes and then manufacture them responsibly.   

Advocating for TRIA in Tallahassee means that I have the privilege of educating elected officials about the important role that tile roofs play in Florida's future and the good work the members of the TRIA are doing here locally, today. I grew up around construction and love that I can now support this critical industry in my career.” 

TRIA is confident Carol will be a true champion for its mission and is excited to share ongoing updates on her advocacy efforts and advancements in Florida.

Representing the Eastern Contractor Advisory Committee, Joseph K. Lamb has joined the board.  

Joseph K. Lamb, junior is the president of Gulf Western Roofing. He grew up in the industry, as his father (Joseph K. Lamb, senior) and uncle operated a roofing company in Florida called R&J Roofing. By the time he was 13 years old, Joseph was brought into the industry, helping pressure-clean, repair tiles, transport asphalt, complete dry-ins/metal and even haul pea rock to the trucks. Now, decades later, Joseph is still working in the industry, having recently been brought onto the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance (TRIA)’s board, officially representing the Eastern Contractor Advisory Committee.

Since he was 13, he has continued to grow and improve his skills. Joseph attended Tulane University and then University of Florida, where he majored in construction management. He was one of the first contractors in the nation to attend and be certified by the Roofing Sciences Institute in Denver, and is a RISE Certified Solar Roofing Professional™, as well as a Florida Licensed Solar Contractor (CVC 57172). Then, in 1999, he founded Gulf Western to better serve the roofing needs of Florida. Since then, he has guided the company with a steady hand, first through a period of extremely rapid growth and change to both the area and the industry, and later through a global economic downturn that saw many long-time competitors fall by the wayside.  

Through it all, Joseph ensured Gulf Western maintained the same high levels of quality and professionalism. In his four decades of roofing experience, he has managed the installation of over three million square feet of roofing products. In addition to being a Florida Licensed Roofing Contractor (#CCCA46933) (#CCC1330348), Joseph is also a Florida Licensed Building Contractor (#CBC058337).

When asked about the appointment to the TRIA board, Joseph shared, “Said it’s a tremendous honor to join the Tile Roofing Industry Advisory Contractor East Board. At Gulf Western Roofing, we’ve been committed to excellence in tile roofing for over 25 years throughout Florida. This appointment represents an opportunity to contribute to industry standards and best practices while staying at the forefront of innovations in tile roofing. I look forward to collaborating with fellow industry leaders to address challenges, advance sustainable practices and ultimately elevate the quality of tile roofing installations across the eastern United States.”

The Tile Roofing Industry Alliance is looking forward to working with Joseph and leveraging his experience and expertise to further the betterment of our industry.
