On the heels of Superstorm Sandy, the winter of 2014 was one of the coldest in recent history, with heavy precipitation and snowfall throughout the Great Plains, Midwest and East. The fallout from these weather events was significant for roofing contractors, and for some the impact on their businesses was a game changer. Roofing Contractor recently spoke with roofing professionals from these areas to learn more about their experiences with extreme weather conditions.
We wanted to find out how harsh weather impacted their businesses in terms of manpower, materials and financial considerations. We asked how they reacted to severe weather events, how they adjusted crew schedules with little notice, and if their experiences helped them prepare for future events.
