In the industry, March often feels like a preparation month as we all look forward to a new construction season and the business that comes with that. As we look back at the top articles of the month, we can see some of that come through in The Coffee Shops’ readers’ interest in innovative roofing products and changing regulations.
In one article, Reed Hitchcock, Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) vice president, shares his thoughts about Florida’s Insurance Commissioner, Michael Yaworsky’s comments on the future of asphalt shingles in the state. In another article, Attic Breeze announced the Florida Building Code (FBC)’s approval of their attic fan and ventilation solutions for use in High-velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ). Coffee Shops’ writer Jesse Sanchez’s article on TUBOS' 5-inch vent pipe extension also made our list this month!
When it comes to talk of regulation shifts and changes, our number four spot was taken by Dani Sheehan’s article, “What you need to know about ICE on the jobsite.” In the article, Dani highlights one of our Coffee Conversations where industry legal expert Trent Cotney of Adams and Reese LLP shares his thoughts about how contractors can navigate the current and constantly changing immigration enforcement actions occurring. Also on the topic of changing regulations, an article about California’s SB 721 mandate by Emma Peterson also made our top five list. The article explains Dr. Xiaomeng (George) Ge’s, a senior condition evaluation engineer, thoughts on the new mandate and how products from roofing companies like Pli-Dek fit into the picture.
