Chuck Howard, P.E., president of Metal Roof
Consultants, was in the metal roof contracting business for almost 30 years,
and he now serves as a consultant to contractors, architects, engineers, and
building owners. He gave a presentation about metal retrofit roofing at
METALCON titled “Do it Right the First Time.”
We've just wrapped up the final webinar of 2008,
“Roofing Design/Material Selection,” which totaled 526 attendees. Even more
recently, the ARW staff and I sat down to figure out the topics that will be
covered in 2009.
In the last decade there have been a plethora of
manufacturers introducing materials to the commercial waterproofing market.
Most of these manufacturers had been in the roofing market and were looking for
a way to increase market share.
“When it comes to metal roofs, details are where your money
is made or lost,” said Vaughn Bacon, manager of Technical Services for MBCI NCI
Building Systems, during his METALCON seminar titled “Metal Roofing: The Devil
Is in the Details.”

That eardrum shattering noise you’ve been hearing is the construction industry grinding to a halt. Will the gears that run our economy unclench? If so, when?
It is hurricane season again and it looks like this year may
be an active season. If this week is any indication, we may face multiple
high-impact storms as we did in 2004 and 2005.
I spent the last two-day’s on a roof. This in itself should not be
newsworthy - after all I am a roof consultant. There was a time when I
spent most of my day on the roof, either conducting quality assurance
inspections or performing forensic investigations.
At Architectural Roofing & Waterproofing, our goal is to cover all aspects of roofing and waterproofing design. I must admit, when it comes to roofing problems, I hadn’t given much thought to bird control. My eyes are open now.
