A Year for the Record Books

By Colin Sheehan, RCS Reporter. 

2020 will not be soon forgotten. Join Stormseal in reflecting on some of last year's key moments. 

For many people and businesses all over the world, 2020 hit as hard as a hurricane. Fortunately, the roofing industry didn't slow down since roofs continue to be damaged by weather and need routine maintenance and repairs over time.  

Before Stormseal closed the book on 2020 completely, they wanted to review what this historic year brought to their company.  

• February: At the 2020 IRE, Stormseal certified installers were able to celebrate their company and sign up new certified installers. Stormseal is looking forward to the next IRE where they can visit in person.  

• March: Stormseal was ranked number five on a list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2020 by Fast Company.  

• May: Stormseal spent this month preparing installers before the start of hurricane season.

• September: Stormseal installers were on hand in Lake Charles, Louisiana protecting homes and buildings following Hurricane Laura. One of the buildings they worked on was the airport control tower. 

• October: Hurricane Delta soon followed in nearly the same location in the U.S. as Hurricane Sally. Additionally, Hurricane Zeta was not far from its landing. In 2020 Stormseal saw 30 tropical storms from the Atlantic, setting a new record. 

• November: Stormseal installers went to Florida to help a condo community withstand the relentless rains of Hurricane Eta.
