It was another great year at the International Roofing Expo (IRE) for contractors, distributors, manufacturers and many others including the team from RoofersCoffeeShop.com (RCS). With close to 10,000 participants, the show featured cutting edge technology, new products and great new ideas for roofers overall.
RCS started out the week with a visit to the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association (FRSA) training center in Winter Park, Florida. Vickie videotaped the space so we could highlight how excellent it is for training, events and meetings. FRSA is a great partner with RCS along with many associations across the country and when we are in the area, we like to pay them a visit.
The RCS booth highlighted photos of our roofers along with a projection of our website. With over 200 contractors and industry professionals stopping by the booth, we were able to launch a program very near and dear to our hearts, “Look Up to Your Roofer”. Bumper stickers for this new campaign were everywhere. It is with great pride that RCS is able to continually promote the professionalism and craftsmanship of the men and women in this great industry.
As always, our favorite part was highlighting roofers at the show and on our social media. They are who make this industry great and some of them are pretty young and very impressive. Meet Jordan Cupit, the youngest team member of Professional Roofing and Exteriors in Arvada, Colorado. He was the 2015 winner of the National Roofing Week’s Children’s Art Contest. We were thrilled when he came by the RCS booth at the IRE and autographed a copy of his award winning cover art. We will be watching him as he grows in this industry!

As noted, RCS believes in associations and we were able to participate in and promote many events and activities that were put on by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress , ROOFPAC and the newly formed National Women in Roofing (NWIR). It was an honor for the RCS team to be involved with all of these great organizations. Some of the highlights from the week included:
Finally, it was with great pride that we watched our advertisers really make an impressive showing at this year’s IRE. From John Manville’s daily video updates to the amazing Polyglass hospitality reception to the informational Roof Saver and Western Colloid booths and always the great Malarkey Roofing booth and beverages, we were able to promote all of our advertisers as they showed extraordinary support of this year’s IRE show!
