PRESIDENT’S COLUMN Brian Swope, CPRC

2020 Happy New Year!

It is hard to believe that we are already welcoming in a new year (and a new decade)! I hope that everyone had an outstanding holiday season with friends and family. I know that in our house, the season went by in a blur and school could not start back soon enough! I hope this is the year I make it to February before giving up on my new year's resolutions, but if history holds true, I will have admitted defeat before the end of the college bowl season.

The new year also brings a new beginning for the Association. We have officially broken ground and this summer we will move into the new building that will serve as the Association's headquarters for many years to come (see page 62 for more information). There have been so many who have given time, materials and expertise to ensure that this project will be a success. I am pleased to announce that we will be paying for the entire project in cash with no mortgage. The Board, Executive Committee and staff have been very diligent over the years, placing excess cash into a Reserve Fund for a new building. If you’d like to be a part of the Association's legacy, we are offering individual and company bricks for a memorial walkway entrance to the building. See page 61 for more information and page 62 to order memorial bricks.

The Association continues to work hard for the success of the industry, both legislatively and with the building code. On the legislative front, we are laboring to protect our licenses and keep the Florida Building Code in the hands of Florida, rather than a product of outside agencies meddling and "tweaking" our code to fit whatever agenda they might have. I would like to thank the Codes Subcommittee for their hard work and efforts to keep up with

the ever-changing code landscape. I would also like to commend the joint efforts of FRSA and TRI for completing the new edition of the roof tile manual. I know there are quite a few opinions on the manual, but one thing is for certain, the work that is going into this venture is extraordinary.

Look for the 6th Edition of the FRSA-TRI Florida High Wind Concrete and FRSA President Clay Tile Manual to be Brian Swope, CPRC published and available Vice President, January 2021, the same Tampa Roofing Co., Inc. time as the implementation of the 7th Edition of the Florida Building Code.

On January 24-25, our winter board and committee meetings will be held at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace. FRSA members are welcome and encouraged to join one of our many committees. If you’re interested in participating, please contact Lisa Pate at 800-767-3772 ext. 157 or lisapate@floridaroof.com. If you do not participate, you are not getting the full value of your membership. Member involvement is vital to the long-term success of the Association.

In April, NRCA will be hosting their third annual Roofing Day in D.C. The event takes place on April 20-22 and provides a great opportunity for the industry to come together as one voice and to discuss topics of interest with our legislators. NRCA staff does an amazing job of scheduling appointments with legislators, providing speaking points on industry topics, organizing large group visits, prepping attendees on what to expect and providing the most effective way to communicate our message.

The heavy lifting is already done – all you need to do is show up. See page 7 for more information.

God bless,

Brian Swope, CPRC

FRSA LEGAL COUNSEL Cotney Construction Law, LLP

EB-5 Investor Green Card Paul Messina, Attorney, Cotney Construction Law, LLP The fifth preference classification for employment-based immigration, more commonly referred to as the EB-5 green card, is an employment-based green card, whereby the immigrant invests a certain amount of money into a business, creates a certain number of jobs and receives a green card to come to the U.S. to manage the business. The EB-5 Program was created

by Congress in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors.

The EB-5 Program has two parts: 1) the permanent Direct EB-5 Program, officially known as the Immigrant Investor Program and 2) the temporary Regional Center EB-5 Program, officially known as the Immigrant Investor Pilot Program, which requires reauthorization from Congress every so often. Although initially an unpopular green card option, over the last several years, the popularity of EB-5 program has grown exponentially, particularly for investments through the Regional Center EB-5 Program.

The EB-5 green card has four main requirements, whether it is a direct EB-5 or a regional center EB-5, in order to qualify. They are: ■ Invest the required minimum amount ■ Create a minimum of 10 full-time jobs ■ Establish that the investor is or will be engaged in the management of the new commercial enterprise ■ Invest in a new commercial enterprise.

Investment Amount

The EB-5 Program created two minimum investment amounts. The default investment amount is $1,800,000. If the immigrant is investing what is

2020 Charity of Choice

deemed a Targeted Employment Area, the minimum investment amount is $900,000.

Beginning October 1, 2025, the investment amounts will be adjusted for inflation every five years. A Targeted Employment Area is defined as an area that, at the time of investment, is a rural area or an area which has experienced unemployment of at least 150 percent of the national average rate. A rural area is any area not within either a metropolitan statistical area (as designated by the Office of Management and Budget) or the outer boundary of any city or town having a population of 20,000 or more according to the most recent decennial census of the United States. A Targeted Employment Area is determined by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the same agency that adjudicates EB-5 petitions.

The most common form of investment is the investment of cash into the business. Regardless of the type of investment, any investment under the EB-5 program must come from legal sources and the immigrant must be able to document this.

Job Creation

Job creation is essential to the purpose behind the EB-5 Program. For EB-5s, a minimum of 10 full-time jobs must be created by the investment. These jobs must be created in the new commercial enterprise that was invested in. Other indirect jobs are not counted. For example: an investor invests in a new fast food restaurant. The types of jobs that could qualify and count towards the jobs requirement would include manager, assistant manager, cashier, cook, etc. The type of jobs that would not qualify include indirect jobs, such as the architect who worked on the building design, the construction workers who built the building, etc.

The only exception to the direct jobs requirement is when the investor invests through a regional center.

For those cases, the indirect jobs can be counted in the EB-5 jobs calculation.

Management of the New Commercial Enterprise A Division of Children's Home Society 6

FLORIDA ROOFING | January 2020

Another requirement for the EB-5 classification is for the investor to engage in the management of the

business by either having day-to-day managerial responsibility or through policy formation activities.

Having day-to-day managerial responsibility is generally established by the investor’s position in the business.

Similarly, policy formation activities are generally established by the role of the investor in the business.

New Commercial Enterprise

EB-5s require investment into a new commercial enterprise. This simply means that the business entity invested into needs to have been created after November 29, 1990, which is usually the case. However, the investment into a business entity that was established before November 29, 1990 is allowed if either a) the business entity was restructured so a new commercial enterprise exists; or b) the investment expands the business with a 40 percent increase in net worth or the number of employees.

The EB-5 Program can be a viable option for those individuals looking to invest a substantial amount of money in a business in the U.S. and want to remain in the U.S. permanently. Particularly with the Regional Center EB-5 Program, the EB-5 Program provides an opportunity to “buy” a green card. Through the EB-5 Program, the investor can obtain green cards for his or her spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21. With such a substantial investment, it is important to have legal counsel that has a thorough understanding of the EB-5 Program and proven track record of success.

FRSA LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL Chris Dawson

Legislative Session Preview Happy New Year, FRSA! Temperatures are dropping but the heat is rising in Tallahassee as we switch into high gear for the 2020 regular session of the Florida Legislature, which convenes on January 14 and adjourns on March 13. A myriad of policy issues will be on the table this year, from sweeping healthcare bills to comprehensive alimony reform. Major funding initiatives like ongoing environmental restoration efforts and teacher pay increases will also dominate the conversation as the Legislature crafts an approximately $91 billion budget for the next fiscal year. Of course, 2020 is an election year, so the lens of politics will shade each of these policy and budgetary issues in a uniquely Florida way.

FRSA will have a seat at the table and a strong voice on all issues of significance to the industry. We already know that professional licensure deregulation, construction defect reform and skilled worker/ talent issues will be major topics. Furthermore, we will remain vigilant on the Florida Building Code as well as our workersʼ compensation system to make sure that citizensʼ interests are protected. I look forward to working with our leadership, the Governmental Affairs Committee and each of you wishing to engage in-depth on these and other important industry issues.

In advance of the session, I wanted to provide a broad overview and highlight a few political topics for the interested observer. Historically, legislative session during an election year is a little more subdued than a non-election year. Session is earlier (January-to-March in an election year versus March-to-May in non-election years) and Members are generally eager to return home to their families, districts and upcoming legislative races. Every seat in the Florida House of Representatives is up for re-election in 2020 and one-half of the seats in the Florida Senate will be on the ballot. Each session always has its own unique personality, sculpted by the political players, the headlines and the major challenges of the day. Further, there is always the chance for the unexpected to alter the course of a session without warning, such as the tragedy in Parkland in the waning days of the 2018 session. It’s impossible to predict everything that the 2020 session may bring, but here are a few of the key factors.

A (very popular) Governor DeSantis has a Healthy Legislative Agenda for 2020 Governor DeSantis has hit the ground running in Tallahassee, scoring major 2019 victories in priority areas like immigration (banning sanctuary cities in Florida) and environmental restoration. He isn’t 8

FLORIDA ROOFING | January 2020

resting on his laurels for 2020, though. Most notably, the Governor has proposed another major immigration policy for the state: the mandatory use of E-Verify by all Florida employers. E-Verify is a federal database used by employers to check an applicant’s work eligibility. A Senate bill, SB 664, has been filed by Senator Tom Lee (R-Brandon) and co-sponsored by GOP Party Chairman Senator Joe Gruters (R-Sarasota). In the House, Representative Cord Byrd (R-Jacksonville) is expected to file similar legislation in the coming days.

Further, the Governor has announced a major budget priority for 2020 – teacher starting pay and bonuses – to the tune of nearly $1 billion. The dual-part plan would see starting teacher pay set at $47,500 and would also create a $300 million bonus pool for teachers and principals statewide. The idea of increasing teacher pay is popular across the state with Democrats, Republicans and Independents, but the devil is in the (budget) details. Florida’s Constitution requires the Legislature to annually pass a balanced budget, so cuts will have to be made elsewhere in order to fund these priorities.

Legislative Leaders Look to the Future

With term limits, the doors of the Florida Legislature are always swinging, including a change of leadership in both the House and the Senate. With this transition imminent, the 2020 session will be the final opportunity for current leaders to cement their legacies. It’s also the time when incoming leaders begin defining theirs. House Speaker Jose Oliva (R-Hialeah) and Senate President Bill Galvano (R-Bradenton) both saw their major priorities cross the finish line in 2019. Oliva sought healthcare deregulation aimed at greater transparency and competition, including a repeal of the state’s certificate of need (CON) process for facility licensure.

Galvano sought the creation of three new Multi-use Corridors of Economic Significance (“M-CORES”) to boost the state’s transportation network and foster opportunities for rural economic development.

With major wins achieved, it’s likely that Oliva and Galvano will utilize the balance of their influence to shore up these initiatives and tackle any unfinished Continued on page 12

business. On their heels, a new crop of leaders will ascend to the helm of the legislative branch, led by Speaker-Designate Chris Sprowls (R-Clearwater) and President-Designate Wilton Simpson (R-Spring Hill). Both men will bring with them a new style, new priorities and a new supporting cast into leadership roles across the Legislature. As leader designates, both Sprowls and Simpson are also in charge of their Chamber’s respective majority-party campaign efforts. Their work on that front has already begun, influenced heavily by our third and final factor.

A Presidential Election Looms

Everyone knows 2020 will be a political juggernaut with President Trump up for re-election and a broad field of Democratic contenders looking to unseat him. Federal elections and issues trickle down to state politics, especially in a Presidential cycle.

Especially in Florida, especially now.

President Trump will focus heavily on the Sunshine State ahead of our March 17 presidential preference primary (where his Democratic rival may

be crowned) and our November 3 general election.

The Legislature will play a significant role in the policy – and the politics – of it all. Major policy issues will include election security to prevent domestic or foreign interference, voter access (including the ongoing implementation of Amendment 4 aimed at the restoration of felons’ voting rights) and campaign finance reform. Following the 2016 election, the pressure is on to guard the integrity of the 2020 election and Floridians’ faith in their voting systems.

As for the politics, the Florida Legislature will feel the eyes of the nation as topics like gun laws, tax policy and immigration continue to dominate the debate, the headlines and the political polls.

With these influences, the 2020 session of the Florida Legislature will set the course not only for the future of our state, but very likely for the future of our nation. What a time to be engaged in Florida politics! It’s a pleasure and a privilege to advocate for FRSA in Tallahassee and together we will leave our own unique mark for 2020 and beyond.

Roofing Apprenticeship Program Continues to Expand Clay Thomas, Project Manager, Advanced Roofing, Inc., Instructor, ABCI Roofing Apprenticeship Program The ABCI Roofing Apprenticeship Program is in full swing, with locations in Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando and coming soon to Tampa. I’m proud to be a part of a group that teaches these programs, along with Terry Tilson, Jim Carmeci, Mike Winant, Mike Jennings, Robby Staats and Mike Silvers, CPRC. All have been instrumental in challenging the apprentices to not only develop their technical skills, but also to broaden their understanding and application of business principles.

David Baytosh has provided direction to bring consistency to the program across multiple classroom settings. The experience has been rewarding.

Orlando Roofing Apprenticeship Program Update

The first team of apprentices began their journey in December 2018 through the coordinated efforts of Career Source of Central Florida, Valencia College,

FRSA and the ABC Institute (ABCI). These organizations joined with local roofing contractors to participate in the first nationally-accredited roofing apprenticeship program in Florida.

In September, the Orlando program began the third semester and is now midway through the three-year program. As they reach the midpoint of the program, it provides an opportunity to tie the basic concepts presented in the first year to more advanced systems training that helps them to discover the “why” behind the “how.”

The semester started with a general overview of low-slope roofing, which was highlighted by a hands-on Firestone TPO lab conducted by Pat Kurth.

Classroom discussion included material properties, systems installation considerations, detailing and best practices. In the lab, students completed hand-welded seams, flashed curbs, worked on field wrapping pipes and operated a robot. The students benefited from Pat’s field experience and industry knowledge.

Mike Silvers, CPRC of Silvers Systems Inc. and Director of Technical Services for FRSA gave a great history of code development in Florida and reviewed provisions relevant to our daily work. Silvers noted that the Florida code went from a single, small-edition book to the current Florida Building Code which includes eight full volumes.

The Insulation module, Flat, Tapered and Crickets, reviewed common roof insulation types, associated “R” values, slope designations and application methods, as well as construction of crickets and saddles.

The Construction Math and Measurements module covered general construction math, roof slope, tape reading, stretch out and the roof take off process.

Jim Ripley of A/R/C Associates, a professional roof consulting firm, taught material and system testing requirements and their associated protocols. System uplift resistance and “in-situ” test methods were also discussed in detail. The apprentices appreciated his vast roofing knowledge.

Mary Beth Reed of GAF detailed the process of how to obtain local and state level Florida Product Approvals and High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) Notices of Acceptance (NOA). She also presented how to interpret the system requirements of various product approvals and reviewed the permit process as it applies in various areas of the state. Municipalities and counties have differing documentation requirements that must be met before a project can be started.

Example of Bell Chamber Test

To close out the semester, the Orlando class completed a steep slope shingle re-roof in partnership with Rebuilding Together and Harvest Time International (see page 44). A roof tear-off and replacement was completed that allowed the apprentices to apply the training they received on steep slope projects. The project incorporated concepts such as job set up, safety, take-off, estimating, codes, specifications, roof calculations and measurements, project management, flashing, metal application and wood replacement, as well as new shingle skills. The cooperation between fellow contractors, community agencies and the support from the industry is inspiring. Thanks to all involved who have made this vision a reality!

Attic Ventilation Mike Fulton, National Manager Technical Training and Compliance, O’Hagin LLC Attic ventilation is an important component in the creation of optimal environmental conditions in any residence or structure. Properly venting the attic space helps ensure a healthier environment and conserve energy. Attic ventilation may also reduce the build-up of ice dams in cold areas and play an important role in prolonging the life of the roof. Ventilation requires the free flow of air, which may be achieved using various methods and products. A proper ventilation system supports superior air movement by exhausting air from the upper vents (exhaust), causing a natural vacuum effect that draws air in through the lower vents or soffit (intake).

Attic ventilation has been a standard in building construction and living envelope air quality for years.

Although the language in the code has changed slightly over the years, the intent is still the same: to furnish adequate cross-ventilation to all rafter or truss spaces with ventilators located at or near the ridge and at the eave or cornice, creating a balanced intake and exhaust system.

As building designs changed from gable end to hip roof designs, balance has many times been ignored, causing excessive heat build-up in the upper portion of the attic space. The results are two-fold. First, greater heat can significantly decrease the life of the roof coverings and underlayments. Second, higher attic temperatures mean greater heat transfer to the air conditioning ducts. Lowering attic temperatures decreases the radiant heat transfer not only to the living envelope, but to the AC ducts. The ducts, which may have only an R-3 to R-8 rating, are a pathway to increased air temperatures (by a few degrees) from the air handler to the last drop, thus reducing the efficiency of the AC system and providing that initial “blast of hot air” that gradually cools when the AC system kicks in. Air handlers installed in the attic have an even greater heat gain, adding to the increase in heat. In some cases, by decreasing attic temperatures through improved ventilation, homeowners have experienced between 10 to 20 percent decreases in utility costs.

Hiding Behind the 1/150 Rule

When the building code was initially written, the intent of the 1/150 rule was meant for low sloped, smaller bungalows, which were common in the southern part of the country. These attics typically had less than three feet vertical height between the attic floor and the ridge board. For natural convection to occur, there needs to be a greater than three feet vertical height.

Therefore, these smaller buildings could only be ventilated on one horizontal plane with the increased requirement.

Most other attics were structures with gable end roofs.

Windows or gable vents on either end were used but had the ability to introduce outside air from the soffits or eaves and then expel the hot air out through the gable end vents.

What is happening on homes with large hip roofs is builders are allowing only soffit or eave ventilation, assuming the soffit venting will meet the 1/150 rule, therefore negating the need for upper/exhaust ventilation. This allows a tremendous amount of heat buildup in the upper portion of the attic, radiating heat into the air conditioning ducts and baking the roof covering, whether shingles or underlayment for tile or metal roofs.

The question is, do the continuous soffit materials meet the 1/150 requirements? Over the past few years I’ve requested net free ventilation area values from several soffit manufacturers and the answers have ranged from a percentage number to no response at all. This is almost impossible to calculate to meet the code parameters. Unfortunately, these soffit vents www.floridaroof.com | FLORIDA ROOFING

moisture while providing the energy efficiency of the spray foam. Stay tuned.

Now back to the question of sealed versus vented attics. Sealed attic systems have been a hot bed of discussions over the past few years. They show initial signs of success with energy savings, but we still aren't sure of what the long-term consequences may be. Where there is an undetectable roof leak, early failures have occurred due to water trapped between the spray foam insulation and the sheathing.

Also, water build up after time in the plywood substrate or oriented strand board (OSB), shows signs of causing premature rotting of the organic material, resulting in possible catastrophic failures. Studies done at Oak Ridge Labs show that there’s a tremendous amount of vapor transmission during the day when the sun is highest in the sky. Humidity levels soar and then decrease as the sun goes down. This vapor transmission over a period of time can and does saturate the sheathing and possibly even trusses. The results are what I consider accelerated aging.

We have seen cases in South Florida where roofers stepped through the roof due to this premature failure.

This not only becomes a structural issue over time, but a possible life safety issue. Sealed attics are permitted Solar Vents in the code but must be designed by a Florida-licensed There has been an increased interest in Solar Powered architect or engineer.

Such a system will allow evaporation of any don’t allow good airflow when they’re new and littleto-none when clogged on the upper side with dust, dirt and insulation. Many homes that have added blown in insulation have covered the open airspace, prohibiting the necessary airflow. I encourage building officials and homeowners to inspect these areas to see if there are obstructions.

Ventilators also need to have either a MiamiDade Product Approval or a State of Florida Product Approval. Impostors are an invitation to leaks or wind damage such as blow-offs. Counties and municipalities that allow goose neck vents as attic vents, considering them an “Accessory, not needing approvals,” should reevaluate their position. These can do a great disservice to the building or homeowner.

Due to building design, one size does not necessarily fit all. Many vent manufacturers have tools or resources to help both roofing contractors and homeowners meet the code. These can include online ventilation calculators and services that will calculate the number of vents needed as well as recommended placement. Such tools can help prevent possible future litigation from “guessing” whether the code requirement has been met.

Advanced Roofing, Inc. Wins Low-Slope S.T.A.R. Award The S.T.A.R. Awards – the Spotlight Trophy for the Advancement of Roofing – highlighting the best of the best in FRSA member roofing projects, took place during FRSA’s 97th Annual Convention in Kissimmee. 47 projects were reviewed and judged on a specific set of criteria and awards were presented in four different categories.

Ft. Lauderdale based Advanced Roofing, Inc. won the Low Slope Roofing Award for its work on the Rapallo North Condominium Association project.

With more than three decades of experience re-roofing high-rise condominiums in high-wind zone areas like Florida and the Caribbean, Advanced Roofing, Inc. (ARI) was recommended by roofing consultant BRI Roof Consulting Corp. and hired

by Rapallo North Condominium Association of West Palm Beach in the fall of 2018 to re-roof their buildings, which were spread over nine roof areas.

This waterfront, 156-unit property built in 1973 was going through a major concrete restoration project at the time and required a restoration of its

40

FLORIDA ROOFING | January 2020

aging and leaking roofing system eroded by natural deterioration, and hurricane damage. ARI was selected for this project due to its reputation for re-roofing occupied commercial buildings with little to no interruption to operations, combined with its experience as a certified Durapax Roofing System installer.

Scope of Work

Rapallo North Condo’s roofing system was comprised of nine areas, with a maximum roof height of 182-feet. Seven roofs featured a coal tar pitch with gravel, wood fiber, insulation and two plies over concrete deck. One roof consisted of modified bitumen membranes and insulation over concrete deck, while another roof had modified bitumen membranes over concrete deck.

To restore the system, ARI’s eight-person crew dismantled the existing roofing in stages, removing no more than what could be covered in a day’s work.

They then re-roofed all areas with a Durapax Coal

Tar Built-Up System while coordinating closely with the concrete restoration subcontractor to ensure both scopes of work could proceed in a timely and efficient manner. One ply of membrane was then installed, along with insulation, tapered insulation and coverboard and installation of five plies of membrane and flood coated roof with gravel. ARI used the following products: ■ Durapax: Coal Tar Saturated Felt, Glass Fiber Base Sheet in Asphalt, Tarred Felt in Coal Tar Pitch (3 plies), TC Glass Fiber Felt in Coal Tar Pitch ■ Johns Manville: ENRGY 3 ISO in Asphalt, ENRGY 3 Tapered Insulation in Asphalt ■ Georgia-Pacific: High Density Fiberboard in Asphalt Before leaving the job for the day, the crew performed nightly tie-ins and ensured the roof was watertight.

Safety

Ensuring the safety of employees and customers is Advanced Roofing’s number one priority. All crew members were safety certified and the safety department and construction manager routinely conducted unannounced safety inspections. Safety monitors were always used on the ground while the crane was in use, and overhead protection was erected to protect people exiting the building to the parking lot.

The team’s major challenge was keeping residents safe in the occupied building.

To accomplish this, good communication was essential. ARI’s construction manager was in constant communication with the association and the roofing consultant on where and how residents would be required to maneuver around the crane, dumpsters and staging areas throughout the duration of the project.

job in 87 days, with minimal impact to residents.

During this time, the project was shut down due to weather (rain and wind) and holidays, with no negative impact to the schedule and no change orders issued. Rapallo North was a prime example of how experience and good communication leads to a successful project. The most rewarding part of the project was to exceed the customer’s expectations in quality and service.

The winning team from Advanced Roofing, Inc. includes: Contractor – Rob Kornahrens Estimator – Ben Bradley Superintendent – Bill Scholes Foreman – Jose Jimenez Project Manager – Connie Scott Consultant – Joe Byrne, BRI Roof Consulting Manufacturer – Durapax Mfg. Representative – Peter J. San Juan Project MVP – Bill Scholes Congratulations to the Advanced Roofing, Inc. team!

Metal Roofing Accessories: Big Results From “The Small Stuff” George Allaster, Jr., Eastern Regional Sales Director, Marco Industries In metal roofing, sometimes it’s easy to overlook the “little things” that go into a successful roofing system. I say “system” because for a metal roof to perform and protect properly, many different things must work together. For example, if a fastener fails, it doesn’t matter how great the rest of the metal roof is during a driving Florida rain. That’s why it pays to not overlook “the small stuff.”

Ventilation is Vital

Ventilation is one of the most important aspects of a roofing system that is often taken for granted.

In fact, proper ventilation is crucial to the performance and longevity of a metal roof. By keeping out moisture, dust and pests, ventilation protects the roof itself from damage. Most people have heard horror stories of mold and other moisture damage, as well as sky-high energy costs, all due to improper ventilation. As a result, ventilation itself is accepted as necessary. But while most everyone knows it is needed, not everyone realizes that there is varying quality and performance among the different types of roof ventilation.

Here in Florida, deciding which type of roofing ventilation you should install with your metal roof is simple. Rather than relying on box vents, end gable vents, wind turbines (also called whirlybirds) or power ventilators, follow the U.S. Department of Housing recommendation. It states that continuous ridge ventilation is the most effective. It is the least dependent upon wind direction and it delivers three to five times more air flow than any other combination of ventilation. According to a Georgia Tech publication on energy-efficient homes, a combination of ridge ventilation along with soffit vents

Marco’s patented LP2 ridge vent features a 40-year limited warranty and Miami-Dade Country Approved Python modified polyester for superior net-free ventilation that reduces condensation and helps lower utility costs.

42

FLORIDA ROOFING | January 2020

is the best, providing even air circulation under any wind conditions.

The Tennessee Valley Authority agrees, adding that turbine roof vents are the least effective and that power vents may use as much energy as they save.

The choice is clear: a continuous ridge vent (in combination with soffit vents) will provide the best performance. But are all ridge vents the same? Absolutely not. There are three main variables to consider.

Material is the first thing to look at when choosing a ventilation system. Some products on the market are made of polyurethane. This material constantly expands as it soaks up water and contracts as it dries out. This constant flux causes these products to crack and lose their ability to perform effectively. Have you ever seen black streaks on older metal roofs? That is the polyurethane ventilation disintegrating and literally running down the roof.

Another popular material of venting manufacturers is polyester. Much better than polyurethane, polyester prevents moisture absorption and holds together to keep out pests. This is a solid choice, but not the best.

The ideal choice is a combination of specially formulated polyester—manufactured from recycled material—along with polyethylene. Polyethylene is the strongest resin available on the market and provides the most durable performance. It is flame-resistant, clog-resistant and tear-resistant.

And a very important fact for the harsh Florida sun, polyethylene is UV and temperature stable. Other materials are not.

The second thing to consider when choosing a quality ridge ventilation solution is the warranty.

Look for a written warranty that is clear in what it covers. Some homeowners and contractors have been caught shorthanded by not having a written warranty on a ventilation product they thought was warrantied. The most reliable products will be backed by a 40-year warranty. Be sure to ask what the warranty covers and if it is pro-rated (which will lessen your coverage over time).

Lastly, make sure the product you choose has

been tested thoroughly to perform as advertised.

Unsubstantiated manufacturersʼ claims won’t keep the Florida wind and rain out of your attic. Look for a manufacturer that invests in testing either in-house or by a third party; or better yet, one that invests in both. For example, ventilation products that are Miami-Dade County Approved have been tested to withstand 120 mph wind-driven rain and hold up to extreme heat, both of which are important here in the Sunshine State.

Other Important Accessories

Beyond ventilation, there are other important “small things” that can have a big impact on how your metal roof performs.

Sealants are used during installation to seal out water, dirt, wind and other substances that can get into small spaces, making the roof as weather tight as possible. There are different sealant technologies available including silicones, tri-polymers and polyurethanes. Another option is a paintable, UVresistant MS-Polymer formula. Industry tests have shown this option to provide minimal shrinkage, high tensile strength, faster skin cure times, less dirt pickup and low-to-no odor compared to solvent-based products.

These tests also revealed no cracking, splitting, yellowing or adhesion failures in the MS-Polymer formula sealant.

Fasteners or screws are often seen as a commodity and not much thought is put into their selection. But as I mentioned earlier, if a screw fails, your roof fails. Look for fasteners that are mechanically coated with zinc. This process is much more precise and consistent than electro-plating or powder-coating, which can leave coating thin spots on the fastener, rendering it more susceptible to corrosion. Independent lab testing shows these mechanically-coated fasteners stand up to salt spray longer than other types of fastener choices.

Underlayment is another important element in your roofing system. Synthetic products are stronger and offer better warranties than non-synthetic choices.

For Florida roof decks, I recommend self-adhered synthetic underlayment. It is more durable and automatically seals holes and crevices for better protection.

and protection from moisture, pests and weather.

Demanding quality in all the elements – even the "small stuff" – will make a big impact on the overall performance of your roof.

How to Start or Grow a True Service Department Greg Hayne, Owner, Hayne Coaching Group results are either puny or non-existent. Are there exceptions to this?

Sure. Will you be one of them? No, because if you were the exception, your department would already be growing and you wouldn’t be reading this article hoping to learn how to make that happen!

The second observation about the “mistakes” contractors make is that they bring the same type of attitude and approach to their service departments that they use in production work. The construction industry, in general, is set up to foster “adversarial relationships.” There is a drive for productivity, because the greater the productivity, the greater the profit. This is completely understandable and necessary. Unfortunately, the individual most contractors put in charge of their service department’s day-to-day operations Owning the Service Department usually has come from that sort of mindset and that The owner of the company, “the boss,” must be personally involved in the initiative to grow a service is not good in a service culture! The operative word department. This isn’t something that she or he can in “Service Department” is “service” and “service” delegate. Why? Because the type of individual who really means “customer service oriented.” This is often the opposite of the production mindset. Hayne is good at running a service department thrives on routine and structure. They “need” those things and Coaching Group conducts behavior assessments on our client’s key employees and the last time we they do a great job in that context.

Common Mistakes that Paralyze You

This is the first in a multi-part series on “How to start or grow a true service department.” The ideas, concepts, fundamentals and tools that will be presented have come from our work helping commercial roofing contractors grow their service departments, from interviews we have done over the years with those running top-performing service organizations and by sharing best practices recognized among contractors participating in formal peer groups we facilitate. What we will share works. You have competitors already successfully doing these things.

What we see in the marketplace is that those contractors who are struggling to grow their service departments are usually making sometimes multiple key mistakes that set them up for difficulties or outright failure. Let’s start this series of articles with a discussion of some of the most common fundamental mistakes or poor choices. If you don’t get these things right, most of the rest of what we will share won’t work as well.

the crews are performing as they should.

Secondly, you need a “service coordinator.” This individual receives incoming service requests, schedules work, processes office paperwork, produces invoices, interacts with the customers and is the prime contact point for all incoming requests and questions. Although this individual will need to learn the mechanics of scheduling in terms of which customers get priority over others and which crews should be sent to handle certain types of roofing systems, fundamentally, this role does not require roofing skills, it requires people skills. This role needs to be filled by somebody good at customer service.

Make It Easy for Your Customer, Not Yourself

In a small department, these roles are often handled by one individual, which is understandable.

But most roofers tend to choose someone with the roofing skills over someone with good customer service skills. Doing so is a mistake. Now, if you are reading this and saying, “But Greg, how can you expect somebody with no real roofing knowledge to handle roofing technical issues?”

You can’t. But here is the other side of that: How can you expect somebody with no real customer service skills to handle customer service issues? You may think your “roof guy” can do both, but almost always he can’t; at least, not well. What you are sacrificing by doing this is customer service and frankly, you are instead doing what makes your job easier.

Hopefully though, you can begin to understand that while this choice makes your job easier, it also makes your customer’s life in dealing with you more difficult.

And the service business is about making your customer’s life easy, not yours.

In a larger department, there could be multiple people involved in either of these roles, but that does not change the fact that you need people with super customer service skills to interact with your customer base every bit as much as you need somebody who can handle technical

Implement Effective Cybersecurity Measures Roy Richardson, Vice President and CTO, Aurora InfoTech Roofing is at once a profitable and a dangerous industry. Beyond the obvious risks, such as a worker getting injured on the job, there are threats such as ransomware.

Ransomware is a disruptive, malicious software that instantly cripples computer systems by encrypting files and data into an unreadable and unusable format. The attackers generally display an onscreen notice to inform their victims of the attack, along with a timeline and monetary amount, usually in Bitcoins, needed to gain access to the decryption key.

Moreover, if the victim misses making the ransom payment by the timeframe specified by the attackers, the data remains encrypted, inaccessible and in some cases, lost forever.

Although cybercrime such as this is prevalent in all industries, the risks associated with the roofing industry are particularly high, which is why it is so essential for roofing companies to implement effective cybersecurity measures. While most roofing companies take precautions when it comes to traditional safety and security on the jobsite, few organizations realize that virtual dangers pose as much as, if not more, of a threat. As a result, many organizations have not taken adequate cybersecurity precautions to protect their data from an attack or breach. Unfortunately, the roofing industry trails behind others when it comes to investing in high-level security and keeping up with current digital threats.

According to a recent JB Knowledge Construction Technology Report, firms indicate that the most significant challenges they face in adopting new technology are limited IT resources, budget shortfalls and resistance at both the employee and management levels.

As a result, most firms underestimate the likelihood of hackers’ interest in them as a target and so don’t invest enough in cybersecurity, which in turn makes it easier for hackers to infiltrate their systems.

Due to factors such as a rapidly increasing number of vendors entering the roofing industry, high turnover and the use of remote offices, hackers are a pervasive threat to roofing companies and the sensitive information they hold. Though not necessarily apparent at first glance, the roofing industry is heavily reliant on technology. The tools of a modern roofing organization include not only ladders and nail guns, but also mobile computers, sensors, telematics, GPS, building information modeling, integrated project delivery and a variety of other systems. The data stored on these systems typically include personally identifiable information (PII) of their employees and their clients, including social security numbers, bank accounts and 50

healthcare information – all of which are worth their weight in gold to hackers.

Even project bids and intellectual property are at stake and can compromise a company, its vendors, employees and clients.

Here are five tips that can help businesses to protect this valuable and trusted information: 1. Keep vulnerabilities and threats at bay by staying up to date with all security patches and system updates.

2. Implement a backup and disaster recovery strategy, not just for your servers, but for all your endpoints and critical data. Don’t forget to test the restoration process to ensure it is working.

3. Complement your security layers with approaches that whitelist (track the good, not just the bad) as a last line of defense in case ransomware does evade your antivirus.

4. Educate your employees by investing in Security Awareness Training – often, the vulnerability might occur due to your employees' ignorance.

5. Consult with security professionals who stay ahead of malware trends and can offer a thirdparty assessment of your current network, as well as guidance on how to protect it further.

Security is of foremost significance for organizations in the roofing industry that demand uninterrupted access to systems and data that results in scalable and sustainable longterm growth. Unlike the old days, however, this security no longer ends once the jobsite is locked up at the end of the day.

Around-the-clock monitoring and management of organizational networks is the standard when it comes to cybersecurity in the roofing industry.

Education and Training Keep Your Team on the Roof Meghan Roth, FRSA Director of Foundation Activities Each year, the FRSA Educational and Research Foundation seeks to create and present industry specific courses that not only educate but engage contractors in changes that affect their livelihood.

Often these courses are code-based and involve changes made to the previous code cycle. The Educational Foundation offers additional courses that meet the “mandatory six” requirements for Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) license renewal, one hour of each of the following: 1. Workplace Safety 2. Workers’ Compensation 3. Business Practices 4. Laws and Rules 5. Wind Mitigation Methods 6. Florida Building Code Advanced Modules.

With the upcoming release of the 7th Edition Florida Building Code, the Educational Foundation, along with Director of Technical Services Mike Silvers, CPRC are developing courses to inform contractors, building officials and architects about the changes to the code.

These courses will be offered at the FRSA Training Center in Winter Park, at the 2020 Convention in July and at various locations around the state over the next year.

Staying on top of industry trends and newly introduced technologies also keeps you informed and makes you a valued consultant to homeowners.

Knowing about all the changes and understanding the ins and outs of products and their features allows you to provide customers with more options for their home.

Your up-to-date knowledge will earn their trust, not to mention positive word of mouth referrals.

The CILB regulates the courses and continuing

education credit units (CEU) a contractor is required to complete every two years. The intent is to help ensure that contractors stay up to date with what’s new in our industry. The law mandates the required hours per twoyear cycle to maintain each certification. For related contractor, inspector and home inspector licensing continuing education content requirements, please review the following:

Contractors (CILB) Continuing Education Requirements – Even Numbered Years

14-hours of board-approved continuing education credit are required each bi-annual period prior to the renewal cycle for both certified and registered contractors. Eight hours can be used for general credit, but must be completed with state-approved classes.

2020 is a renewal year and FRSA will be offering over 25 hours of continuing education credit during the 98th Annual Convention in July.

Building Code Administrators and Inspectors Board (BCAIB) Continuing Education Requirements – Odd Numbered Years License holders must complete 14-hours of continuing education credit during each bi-annual period prior to the renewal date. Of the 14 required hours, a minimum of two hours must be in accessibility, two hours in Florida law and rules and a minimum of one hour in ethics.

Home Inspectors Licensing Program (HILP) Continuing Education Requirements: Even Numbered Years

14-hours of board-approved continuing education credit is required each bi-annual period prior to the renewal period. At least two hours must be in wind mitigation for

home inspectors.

For more specific licensing information, visit the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation at www.myfloridalicense.com/DBPR.

Convenient Online Courses

Of course, you and your employees would rather be out on the jobsite. Staying up-to-date with your CE requirements and educating your employees is critical to accomplish that. FRSA offers both in-person and online courses. The online option provides the opportunity to take the courses that you want and need on your schedule. Through a partnership with AAA Construction School, the FRSA Educational and Research Foundation offers industry members a variety of online continuing education courses at a discounted price.

All courses are state approved by the CILB. You can take these courses at your convenience. Get interrupted? Pause and save, then resume later where you left off. All courses are accessible from your computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone. Hours are submitted under AAA Construction School’s course provider number and tracked in FRSA’s database.

For more information on continuing education seminars and online courses, please visit the FRSA Educational and Research Foundation website at www.floridaroof.com/Educational-Foundation. As a

reminder, FRSA will track your continuing education credit hours for you when classes are taken through the Educational Foundation.

Roofing Apprenticeship Program

The roofing industry tends to suffer high employee turnover, so the hiring process can be neverending, especially right before high volume seasons. Recent studies show that having an intake process in place for new hires is highly beneficial to your roofing company’s efficiency, communication and employee retention.

These processes help your new roofer or office administrator understand what is expected of them, provide an idea of what it is like to work at your company and facilitate communication between him or her and the rest of your team.

With that in mind, FRSA is again partnering with the Associated Builders and Contractors Institute (ABCI), Career Source, Valencia College and several FRSA contractor members this year to conduct an apprenticeship program that produces journeyman roofing applicators.

The apprenticeship is a three-year program that kicks off with a two-week introduction at Valencia College.

FRSA is also developing an entry level course internally for member use. We are confident these efforts will help produce the next generation of qualified roofing industry entrepreneurs and employees.

Giving Back

FRSA Members Giving Back to the Community

In this season of giving, many FRSA member companies shared their time, talents and treasures with those who are less fortunate.

NEFRSA Affiliate Assisting Veterans

On the cusp of Veteran’s Day weekend, in true “barn raising” style, numerous members of the North East Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Contractors Association (NEFRSA) united to reroof the Charles E. Bennet VFW

Post 1689 Lodge located at 3409 St. Augustine Road.

Chosen as its 2019 charity project, the NEFRSA wanted to give something back to the area’s veterans who have sacrificed so much. Project Manager Paul Tillotson stated, “Response from our members in the roofing community has been nothing short of fantastic. The weather even cooperated with cloudy, dry skies and mild temperatures.”

Commencing work at 7:00 am, they completed the

multi-day project in one day that tested the skills and endurance of the craftsmen from multiple crews that were involved.

More than half of the NEFRSA membership was involved in either procurement of materials, donation of funds, volunteer labor, the permitting process, debris removal and site cleanup. “Ninety-four year old VFW member Frank Purpura, a WWII retired Navy Chief Petty Officer from the D-Day Omaha Beach campaign, expressed amazement and gratitude that damn near brought tears to those present,” stated NEFRSA member Ralph Decicco.

Palm Beach Affiliate Charity Project

The Palm Beach County Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association (PBCRSM) selected to reroof the home of a local veteran as their charity project.

PBCRSM sent the call out to their members and were inundated with volunteers. Molsbee Roofing, Boosler Roofing, Advance Roofing, CRS Roofing and Regency Roofing provided the labor and the following companies donated materials for the project: Allied Supply, APOC, Owens Corning, Allied Demolition, ABC Supply, Roofing Unlimited, Ocean Architecture & Sheet Metal, Preston Enterprise, Advance Roofing, O’Hagan and Eagle Roofing Products.

In addition, Certificates of Appreciation were given out to all the professional roofing contractors and material suppliers who donated, and gift cards were given to labor force volunteers.

RCASF Recognizes the Importance of Giving Back to the Community

Amber Henderson is a nurse for the Broward County School Board. She works to ensure that all children with special needs receive the services they require. After the loss of her brother due to mental illness, Amber became

an advocate for families facing mental health problems. She was a mental health first responder after the Parkland School shootings.

Henderson’s house was in need of a new roof.

Henderson, a single mom of two, lived in her house her entire life, which she inherited after the loss of her mother. With no family nearby and a small support system, Amber hadn’t found the resources necessary to begin this project. A member of RCASF who was familiar with the Association's philanthropic endeavors, approached the RCASF Board of Directors with Henderson’s plight.

The Board immediately recognized her as a worthy recipient of a helping hand.

Board member John Chase inspected the roof. The leaks in the house were numerous and had been in existence for such a long time, that the structural decking was deteriorated which required a complete re-roof. This was further evidenced by the extensive amount of deck replacement needed during the re-roof process.

RCASF issued a call to action to members asking for donations and manpower to complete an entire re-roof in one day. RCASF would like to thank the following members for their participation: Allied Roofing, Certified Contracting Group, Chase Roofing, Cherry Roofing, C.L. Burks, Earl W. Johnson Roofing, Latite Roofing, Paul Bange Roofing, PSI Roofing, Weather-Tech Roofing and with support from ABC Supply (materials), GAF (materials) and Soprema (manpower).

City of Hollywood Inspector Larry Lancaster agreed to come out on a Saturday to perform the needed inspections. Upon arrival, Lancaster stated, “Look at all these companies working together on a weekend. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

RCASF stands proud of all our members who continuously step up and support our community.

nationwide effort is a way to show gratitude and honor the veterans who served our country and the families who support them. Since the inception of the Owens Corning National Roof Deployment Project in 2016, more than 140 military members have received new roofs.

Riedl works as a counselor for a local help line service for veterans and is also a certified dog trainer, with many of his German Shepherds being donated to Veteran Service Dog units.

“Mr. Riedl has a long history of putting others first and making sacrifices for the greater good of our country,” said Dan Reed, President Total Home Roofing. “We are honored to be a part of the Roof Deployment Project, giving back to Mr. Riedl and demonstrate how much our community appreciates his service.”

Owens Corning Roofing and its network of independent Platinum Contractors, along with support from the Owens Corning Foundation, are donating roofing materials and labor to replace roof shingles on the homes of military veterans and their families throughout the country. Through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Brevard County, Riedl was selected and approved as the recipient for the roof replacement.

“We are proud to support the Roof Deployment Project, an inspiring initiative that does so much for veterans in need in communities across the country,” said Tom Clifford, Neighborhood Revitalization Coordinator at Habitat for Humanity of Brevard County. “It makes us proud to see a local business like Total Home Roofing, pitch in and donate a day’s worth of labor for the cause.”

partners in six Central Florida counties: Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia.

Last year, with the help of numerous donors, volunteers and a caring, committed community, the food bank distributed nearly 63 million meals to partner programs such as food pantries, soup kitchens, women’s shelters, senior centers, working-poor families, day care centers and Kids Cafes.

Prior to starting work, staff was required to sit through an informational video focused on Second Harvest and their outreach programs. They also presented statistics for Central Florida, noting one in six families are struggling with the reality of hunger and food insecurity. Other facts included: 74 percent receiving assistance live in poverty; 60 percent of households were employed; and 70 percent had to choose between food and medi-

cine or medical care.
