I received an email a few months back inviting me into the evil world of locked specifications on school work. 

I should know better than to blog about anything to do with politics, but I just cannot help it. 

In my role as a manager of facilities housing roofing and other building materials, one of the biggest pain points I encounter is finding reliable and flexible contractors — contractors of all kinds, ironically, except for roofing contractors, who typically work for my landlords.

When a startling piece of news relating to the roof-contracting industry crosses my radar I have a tendency to jump on it, but it has taken me months to make a public mention on this topic. 

I have noticed an increasing number of collaborations being announced recently. 

One of my duties as editorial director for Roofing Contractor is to serve on an advisory board for the International Roofing Expo (IRE).

 The editors of Roofing Contractor see a lot of new products, so once a year after some of the big trade shows we put our heads together to single out some of the industry’s most recent innovations.
