Central Roofing Follows the Golden Rule
For Chuck Chapman, vice president of Central Roofing Company of Glendale, Ariz., a Tecta America Company, roofing wasn’t the career he envisioned while growing up.

Web Exclusive: Coordinating Lightning Protection for Reroofing Projects
Lightning protection systems are sophisticated networks that incorporate strike termination devices, lightning current conductors, bonding conductors, ground electrodes and lightning surge protection devices. While the lightning risk for a structure is often the product of the lightning frequency and the consequence of the strike to the structure, designers typically consider a variety of factors when laying out a system plan.

Editor's Note: Cell Phones, Driving and National Safety Month
Earlier this year the National Safety Council (NSC) declared that driving while talking on a cell phone puts drivers at four times greater risk for an accident and should be banned. The first time I ever heard of such a concept as cell-phone free driving was when I visited Hong Kong in 2001.

Action vs. Progress
Think about the last time you attended an industry trade show, a training workshop or an association meeting and you got back to your shop all fired up to change things for the better. You rolled out a new program that seemed like a good idea but then you were stuck dealing with pushback and frustration from the staff or your customers — or both.

by Al Levi

Collect to Survive
Today almost every contractor and subcontractor I come in contact with is in survival mode. Many have the cash to survive the lean times in their receivables — if they can collect them. If you have uncollected receivables, your choices are to write off the debt, sue your customer in court to collect, or use mediation or arbitration to reach a settlement.

by Roger Harper

Proper Flashing Methods for Low-Slope Roofs
The flashing element is the most vulnerable part of any roof system because it is the point at which the horizontal roof deck and vertical surface join. It is also the intersection of two different materials, such as is the case with parapet walls.
