Roofing Restoration in a Tight Economy

CoatingsCoffeeShop.com — Fri, 30 May 2025 19:16:00 GMT

In this CoatingsCoffeeShop® Coffee Conversations, sponsored by APOC, we'll explore why roof restoration is one of the smartest ways contractors can diversify their offerings — especially during economic slowdowns. With building owners hesitant to take on a costly tear off and replacement during uncertain economic times,, restoration offers a lower-cost alternative. Contractors can still deliver 5- to 20-year system warranties to their customers without the cost of a full roof replacement. Whether you're starting maintenance agreements, walking roofs to uncover hidden opportunities or helping building owners cut summer cooling costs with reflective cool roofs, restoration helps you expand your market and be your customer's hero.

Are Fluid-Applied Roof Systems the New Membranes?

CoatingsCoffeeShop.com — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 15:09:00 GMT

In this episode of CoatingsTalk, host Megan Ellsworth is joined by Greg Hlavaty with Western Colloid to talk about treating fluid-applied roof systems as a membrane.

This shift in mindset has significant implications for design, installation, performance expectations and long-term maintenance strategies. Tune into this episode to learn more about this emerging market.

In this CoatingsTalk™, Brian Cook and Mark Zeleznock with Dataforma sit down with Karen Edwards for a one-of-a-kind webinar dissecting how Dataforma's radical approach to contractor feedback redefined the customer satisfaction in roofing software.
