Located 1,500 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska, remote Shemya Island is home to deactivated Eareckson Air Station. After a 2014 storm damaged Shemya Hangar 6, Rain Proof Roofing, Anchorage, was contracted to remove and replace the roof system. After overcoming material transportation, safety and weather challenges, Rain Proof Roofing successfully completed the project ahead of schedule.
Dark stains seen on rooftops in the U.S. and Canada are accumulations of blue-green algae, which thrive when exposed to sunlight, water and carbon from inorganic sources. For more than 20 years, asphalt shingle manufacturers have developed solutions to help prevent algae growth on shingles. All asphalt shingle manufacturers now offer algae growth solutions, but the products and warranties vary.
As roofing contractors prepare for the influx of millennials into the housing market, there are concerns traditional selling strategies could become obsolete. The differences in generational experiences are real and likely will shape the expectations of your potential customers. You may close more sales if you know how to sell to different generations of homeowners.
Roofing contractors, manufacturers, distributors, roof consultants and architects should work together to advance the industry.
