Its a collaboration of efforts and research from many different companies spanning many different industries to work on a solution for the ever growing amount of shingle waste going to landfills.

Why just get certified? WHEN YOU CAN ALSO GAIN A NETWORK!

A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN! Why we wear uniforms.

I see construction companies, and specifically roofing companies, all the time that don’t take their appearance seriously.  They send their guys out with mismatched shirts, clothes with holes in them, or worse yet, no uniform at all.  But I want to remind people, perception is crucial. The customer will create a perception, misguided or not, […]

Keeping a business presence in your community

Roofers like warm weather. That’s just a fact. And around November in Michigan, the majority of roofing crews pack it up and hibernate until the spring thaw. The problem with that is the community you live or work in doesn’t see you around for 3-4 months. If you have signs on your trucks and trailers […]

Ventilation – What’s it all about?

So everyone has been hearing about the benefits  of venting a roof. But a lot of people don’t understand how it works.  But this could be a major difference in prices when comparing roof contractors.  Some roofers are thorough and make sure that there is adequate air flow through the whole system, from bottom to […]
