Eliminating Falls Through Roofs
Most state civil judiciary legally consider roofing within the “inherently dangerous” occupation category. When you consider the steep pitches, heights to grade, surface traction conditions, material handling tasks, bulk material weights, environmental factors of wind and weather and the perpetual force gravity on the worker’s center of mass, it is no wonder that falls from or through roofs cause numerous injuries and deaths every year.

Editor’s Note: A Value Beyond Price
Roofing Contractor safety columnist Chip Macdonald of Best Safety, LLC, first raised the point at the beginning of this ever-lengthening recession. Dollars spent on anything not considered indispensable would be cut first, and for some that includes the safety program.

Leadership Selling: Managing the Customer Experience: Proposals
This article is the second in a series of three I am offering you on “Managing the Customer Experience.” Last month I offered ideas to help you assess the situation, a critical foundation to a solid business relationship.

Measuring Up: The Ten Commandments of Low Price
I recently completed a seminar for roofing contractors and one of the group’s favorite topics was to complain about lowball competition. The comments and questions flew in. 

by Monroe Porter

Technical Details: When Is it Time to Replace the Roof?
Roofing contractors are continually asked to provide technical decisions by building owners. The most frequently asked question — particularly in these tough economic times — is whether the roof needs to be replaced or if repairs can be made to extend the service life.
