PRESIDENT’S COLUMN Bruce Manson

Honoring Our Fathers and Mentors In May we honor our mothers and in June it is Father's Day! I can't begin to express what a great man my father is, and the influence that he has had in my life, in our family's life, and also in our community.

It started with my grandfather who was born in South Dakota into a family of 10. They didn't have a lot of money and had to work hard for what they had. Of course, the winters were hard in the Dakotas (-30ÂşF). It was so cold that the dog would not go out when my grandpa had to deliver papers!

To make a long story short, through hard work, Grandpa George started a bus company before the Second World War. The company flourished when he landed a contract from the US Navy to bus workers throughout Wisconsin to the submarine building sites in Manitowoc, Wis. Grandpa George sold the bus company and started multiple businesses that were all successful.

He was a great role model and I worked for him at the cattle ranch, punching cows and bulls. I trimmed orange trees in his groves and dug graves in his cemetery. What a great and generous man. He would take the whole family on cruises to Europe.

I have been lucky to have such a great dad and grandfather, and also lucky to have had many mentors; some have passed and some are still with us.

You will probably recognize some of them:

Dick Fricklas Dave Gracy Morris Swope, CPRC Dwayne Keller George "Elva" Mimbs Ben Smith Charlie Raymond Robert Coculine Sy Elaknon GB Knowles Mike Silvers, CPRC Master Johnny Lee Paul O' Shea and my older brother, John Manson.

FRSA President Bruce Manson Manson Roofing Inc

Stories of the men above would fill volumes, and I am fortunate to have had them help me and Manson Roofing.

Remember to honor your father and your mentors.

Best regards,

Bruce Manson FRSA President bruce.manson@mansonroofing.com

FRSA LEGAL COUNSEL Cotney Construction Law, LLP

ICE Raids – What Should an Employer Do If ICE Shows Up at Its Place of Business?

Paul Messina, Cotney Construction Law, LLP The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, commonly referred to as “ICE,” is a law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security and is responsible for the enforcement of immigration laws in the United States. As part of the enforcement responsibilities, ICE prosecutes those who are in violation of the US immigration laws. If these individuals are found to have violated the US immigration laws, ICE ensures that these individuals depart the United States. One tactic used by ICE to locate and detain illegal immigrants is to conduct raids at places of businesses suspected to employ illegal immigrants or raids at a location where ICE believes an illegal immigrant will be (e.g. the workplace). Another tactic is to conduct a Form I-9 audit at a place of business and use the audit to confirm a worker’s identity and authorization to work in the US.

What are the Employer’s Rights During an Immigration Raid or a Form I-9 Audit?

For a Form I-9 audit, ICE must give the employer notice of the planned inspection of the Form I-9s prior to visiting the place of business. ICE sends a Notice of Inspection letter to the employer, giving them at least three days, as required by law, to prepare for the visit. Without previously receiving a Notice of Inspection or other court order, the employer does not have to provide ICE with the opportunity to inspect the Form I-9s. If provided with a Notice of Inspection, it is best to comply with ICE’s request and provide the documents requested in the Notice of Inspection.

When conducting a raid, ICE does not need to provide the employer with any prior notice. However, the same rules for any other criminal investigation of private property apply. In order for ICE to enter the private areas of a business, it is required to have a warrant signed by a US District Court judge or State Court judge. Without a warrant, ICE needs consent to enter the private areas of the business. It is the employer’s right to refuse consent in those situations where it is required and the employer can instruct its employees not to provide consent as well.

The best thing to do in an ICE raid is to be prepared and to make sure all employees are prepared for one as well.

How Does an Employer Prepare for an ICE Raid?

First, it is important for the employer to put a written plan in place that outlines what needs to be done and what can legally be done when ICE shows up. Once the plan is in place, it is important to practice the plan, making sure that everyone knows exactly what they are supposed to do

during a raid. Second, the employer should conduct training sessions with its employees to educate them on how they should not interact with ICE agents.

Helpful Tips for Before, During and After an ICE Raid ■■ Keep the doors to the private areas of the business closed or, preferably, locked.

■■ Post “Private” signs on doors and walls to clearly mark the private areas of the business as private.

■■ ICE will always have the ability to enter the public areas of your business, such as a parking lot, lobby, or waiting area.

■■ A job site is generally not considered a public area.

■■ Post a clear policy in the public areas of the business right outside the pathways to the private areas that visitors and the public cannot enter without permission.

■■ Always ask for a judicial warrant before letting ICE into the private areas of the business and make sure to read it to confirm that it is signed by a US District Court judge or a State Court judge.

■■ If ICE has a judicial warrant, make sure they follow the terms of the warrant (e.g. the warrant may specify only a certain location in which they may conduct their search) and note any deviations.

■■ If ICE has only an administrative warrant looking for an employee, the employer does not have to say if that employee is working and it does not have to take ICE to that employee.

■■ Make sure workers know that they have the right to remain silent and can and should ask for an attorney if questioned by ICE. Additionally, the workers should not sign anything given to them by ICE without first consulting with an attorney.

■■ Train the employees to refer all ICE inquiries to the person designated by the employer to handle ICE.

Industry Updates NRCA Announces Partnership with SkillsUSA

NRCA is proud to announce it has partnered with SkillsUSA and now is a SkillsUSA Official Business Partner.

SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers, and industry individuals working together to ensure the US has a skilled workforce. It provides educational programs, events, and competitions that support career and technical education in US classrooms.

NRCA looks forward to engaging with SkillsUSA and expanding NRCA’s outreach and footprint in the career and technical fields to establish roofing as a core curriculum in schools and help NRCA members address workforce shortages.

NRCA will attend the annual National Leadership & Skills Conference the week of June 24 in Louisville, Ky., and participate in the Meet the Employer event June 28. It also will serve as a co-sponsor of SkillsUSA’s State Directors Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., August 12-17.

In the spirit of celebrating high school seniors who are pursuing a career in the skilled trades, SkillsUSA National Signing Day 2019 was held on May 8. Similar to National Signing Day events for high school student athletes, seniors were applauded as they announced their career plans and signed letters of intent for a job offer, apprenticeship, or advanced technical training. This inaugural nationwide program recognized students in hundreds of SkillsUSA chapters in high schools throughout the US; 300 schools and 3,000 students participated.

Shameless: Trial Lawyers Solicit “Last Call” for AOB Lawsuits While Blatantly Promising New Tactics to Thwart Just-Passed AOB Reform Legislation

Even before the ink on the just-passed legislation has dried and Governor Ron DeSantis has had a chance to sign the bill into law, a new video by Orlando trial lawyer Harvey Cohen calls on vendors to send in as many AOBs as possible for litigation before the new AOB reform law takes effect July 1. And Cohen, the self-proclaimed inventor of Florida’s current AOB phenomenon, promises he has some “new tactics” to share to thwart the good, commonsense consumer protection bill passed recently by the Florida Legislature and sent to Governor DeSantis for signing. These types of litigation-for-profit schemes by billboard trial attorneys cost all Florida insurance consumers in the form of higher rates.

“It is precisely this type of gaming of the system that has hurt Florida’s hardworking families and fueled out-ofcontrol AOB litigation, fraud, and abuse in both property and auto insurance,” the Consumer Protection Coalition said in a statement. “Florida’s legislators and other senior elected leaders should be aware that there are already blatant efforts underway to erode the good reforms 14

ABC Supply Co Inc Promotes Bryan Olson to Managing Director of Mule-Hide Products Co

Bryan Olson has been promoted to Managing Director of Mule-Hide Products Co Inc, a subsidiary corporation of ABC Supply Co Inc.

During his time as General Manager of NexGen Building Supply, sales tripled, and the company gained significant market share throughout the Midwest. Olson has also held executive leadership positions in the stone and tile industry after graduating from the University of Kansas.

As Managing Director of Mule-Hide Products, Olson will be responsible for the complete business performance of the company, which offers low-slope roofing products including membranes, adhesives, sealants, and coatings.

“Bryan is going to help take Mule-Hide Products to the next level. He has a proven track record for success in the building products industry and delivering results,” said Brad Money, Vice President of ABC Supply’s Divisional Operations. “Our associates are in great hands under his leadership.”

significant by a governing body.

Guideline 34 provides a step-by-step procedure for sensitive energy upgrading, from forming the project team and gathering building and energy use histories, to instituting energy efficiency measures (EEM). Building envelope improvements, environmental control strategies, energy system analysis, HVAC selection, and lighting design considerations are all addressed in the guideline. All recommendations are made in consideration of preserving the integrity of the historically valuable building character, materials, and associated artifacts.

Many historic buildings were constructed without insulation and designed without active air conditioning systems—especially for mechanical cooling. Retrofitting such buildings requires specialized techniques during construction and operation, as well as sensitivity to respecting and preserving historical significance.

With nearly two-thirds of existing buildings estimated to still be in service by 2050, project teams retrofitting any historic building for energy efficiency can benefit from the content of the guideline.

The cost of ASHRAE Guideline 34-2019, Energy Guideline for Historic Buildings, is $53 for ASHRAE members and $62 for nonmembers. To order, visit www.ashrae.org/bookstore or contact ASHRAE Customer Contact Center at 800-527-4723 in the US and Canada.

Duro-Last Inc Iowa Facility Earns Prestigious VPP Star Site Recognition from OSHA

Duro-Last Inc is pleased to announce that its Sigourney, Iowa manufacturing facility was recently awarded Star Site status from the Occupational Safety & Health Organization’s (OSHA) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). This prestigious recognition joins the VPP Star Site renewal that the Duro-Last facility in Grants Pass, Ore. achieved last year and strengthens Duro-Last’s continued commitment to the highest standards of workplace safety.

OSHA’s VPP program is designed to recognize employers and workers who have implemented effective safety and health management systems and maintain injury and illness rates below national Bureau of Labor Statistics averages for their respective industries. In VPP programs, management, labor, and OSHA work cooperatively and proactively to prevent fatalities, injuries, and illnesses through a system focused on hazard prevention and control, worksite analysis, training, management commitment, and worker involvement.

Facilities can qualify for one of three VPP programs: Demonstration, Merit, and Star. As the highest level of recognition awarded by VPP, the Star program recognizes exemplary worksites that have developed successful safety and health management systems. These sites are self-sufficient in their ability to control workplace hazards and are reevaluated every three to five years.

“Employee safety, both at work and at home, is the most important core value in our organization,” said Tom Saeli, Duro-Last CEO. “We continually strive to improve our operations to create a safe environment where our employees can thrive, and the Duro-Last team in Iowa exemplifies what it means to work together to promote a culture of safety. Duro-Last is proud to be considered a safety leader throughout the industry, and we are honored to earn these significant recognitions from OSHA.”

TAMKO Building Products Partners with Carlyle Global Partners

TAMKO Building Products Inc, one of the nation’s largest independent manufacturers of residential roofing products, announced that Carlyle Global Partners (CGP) will become a long-term strategic minority investor in its asphalt roofing and building materials business. CGP is the long-duration investment fund of The Carlyle Group, a global investment firm with $216 billion of assets under management. Terms of the transaction, which is expected to close in Q2 2019, have not been disclosed.

TAMKO’s Chairman of the Board, Ethelmae Humphreys, said, “This is the beginning of a new chapter in TAMKO’s 75-year history. Our business and footprint have expanded at a dramatic pace, growing from just one roofing plant in Joplin, Mo., into one of the nation’s largest asphalt roofing shingle manufacturers. Our partnership with CGP will position TAMKO now and over the longterm for even faster growth and greater success.”

“TAMKO’s success is firmly rooted in the core values that have always defined us as a family-run business: hard work, honesty and integrity, and a commitment to hire and develop outstanding people,” said David Humphreys, President and CEO of TAMKO. “CGP is a great long-term partner because they recognize that these guiding principles — combined with our cost leadership strategy, focus on vertical integration, commitment to quality, customer focus, and continuous improvement — have underpinned TAMKO’s success. Together with CGP, TAMKO will continue to invest in these areas to grow the market-leading positions we hold today.”

Eliot Merrill, Co-Head of CGP, said: “We are delighted to partner with TAMKO, a market innovator with outstanding management and admirable core values. We believe our record of creating value successfully in businesses poised for long-term growth will enable TAMKO to build on its remarkable achievements to date.” Carlyle Managing Director, Vipul Amin, added: “We have followed the growth and success of TAMKO for many years and look forward to supporting management as they take the business to the next level.” Eliot Merrill and Vipul Amin will join TAMKO’s Board of Directors.

FRM

The Roofing Industry and FRSA are Well Represented as New Building Code Takes Shape Mike Silvers, CPRC, Silvers Systems Inc and FRSA Director of Technical Services The Florida Building Code (FBC) Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) met during the week of March 18 to begin consideration of code modifications for the 2020 FBC. The roofing industry, and FRSA in particular, were very well represented. FRSA President-Elect and FBC Commissioner Brian Swope, CPRC (Tampa Roofing Co Inc) continued to do an excellent job as Chairman of the Roofing TAC. FRSA Immediate Past President Charlie Kennedy (Gainesville Roofing & Co Inc) and Tyler Allwood (Director of Business Development, Eagle Roofing Products) were gracious enough to serve as alternates for TAC members and Past Presidents Burt Logan and George Ebersold. FRSA Codes Subcommittee Chairman Tim Graboski (Tim Grabowski Roofing Inc) serves as an Energy TAC member. Tim joined other FRSA Codes Subcommittee members: Manny Oyola (Eagle Roofing Products), Tonya Steel (Millennium Metals Inc), Sal Delfino (Peterson Aluminum Corp), Riku Ylipelkonen (ICP Adhesives & Sealants), Greg Keeler (Owens Corning), and Corey Ewert (TAMKO Building Products Inc) who participated in several TAC meetings. Our members are fortunate to have such outstanding volunteer representatives.

Please take a few moments to thank them for their continued dedication. Also attending and supporting FRSA’s positons on ASCE 7-16 and the roof tile manual was a strong delegation from the Tile Roofing Industry (TRI) including; Rick Olsen (TRI) and Wade Sheppard (Boral Roofing). FRSA Executive Director Lisa Pate,

Educational Foundation Director Meghan Roth and I were the FRSA staff members attending.

I mention all of these people not only to thank them, but to emphasize how this kind of representation and support makes an impression on those who will have so much say in how we go about our work. The building code is the law of the construction land. If we don’t work to influence its contents, the results will be left to those who have other than roofing industry interests.

Most of the modifications submitted by FRSA were approved by the TACs as submitted. For the most part, our preferred positions on other modifications prevailed. However, keep in mind that this is just the first step of the code renewal cycle. Another set of TAC meetings is scheduled for the week of July 9 in Gainesville. Garnering participation may be difficult because it will be the week before FRSA’s Convention and Expo, but this is no time to let our guard down; we still have several rounds to go.

FRM Michael J. Silvers, CPRC is FRSA’s Director of Technical Services. Mike is an FRSA Past President, Life Member and Campanella Award Recipient, and a Florida Licensed Certified Roofing Contractor, who brings over 40 years of industry knowledge and experience to FRSA’s team. Mike is available to FRSA members who have codes or technical questions and can be reached at 800-767-3772 ext. 169 or by email at silvers@floridaroof.com.

FRSA Purchased Land for New Building Lisa Pate, FRSA Executive Director

For the past three years, FRSA has been actively looking to purchase a piece of property to build permanent offices for the Association and Credit Union. Last September, we finally found a location in an existing office park that suits our needs and submitted an offer.

In late December 2018, we closed on the property and began developing plans for a new 8,000 square-foot building, which will include ample office space for both the Association and Credit Union, a classroom training center, and two conference rooms. The plan is to selffund the building so that it will be owned free and clear upon completion.

In April, the Executive and Building Committees and the Board of Directors signed off on the floor plan, along with the building elevation seen above.

The new building will be energy efficient and include Low-E windows, LED lighting, and solar if approved by the office park’s Architectural Review Board. The building will include a generator so FRSA staff can be ready when inclement weather hits the area.

What's Wrong with These Pictures?

26

FLORIDA ROOFING | June 2019

As many of you may remember, FRSA’s old location had a walkway leading into the building made up of bricks purchased by members. Some bricks had company logos, others were memorial tributes, and some were names of FRSA leadership. Those bricks will be relocated and installed at the new location; depending on the amount needed, there may be an opportunity to purchase additional bricks.

The architect, builder, and civil engineer are finalizing drawings, engineering, and permitting and we’re expecting to break ground in June. The builder is estimating approximately eight months for completion, but we are planning on 12 months. Our current lease expires at the end of July 2020, so we have plenty of time to complete the new building and make the transition.

Pictures and mementos of FRSA’s rich history will be on display throughout the building, reflecting almost 100 years of service to the industry.

Robotics in Construction Karen L. Edwards, Director of Communications and Member Engagement, RT3 Collective robotic construction (CRC) specifically concerns embodied, autonomous, multirobot systems that modify a shared environment according to high-level, user-specified goals.

A Science Robotics study published this March states that “the increasing need for safe, inexpensive, and sustainable construction, combined with novel technological enablers, has made large-scale construction by robot teams an active research area.”

The study notes that 54 percent of the human population currently live in cities and that number is expected to grow to 66 percent by 2050. The researchers feel that collective robotics can help meet the construction demand in the midst of an ongoing labor shortage.

CRC could also make construction safer for workers, with the Department of Labor citing that 20 percent of all worker injuries occur in construction.

The researchers were inspired by the extensive use of collective construction in nature for building nests, protection barriers, traps, and mobility scaffolds. Where animal construction relies on reactive behaviors and “low-bandwidth communication,” robots can rely on high-resolution sensors, high-speed communication, and GPS to communicate their exact location for completing specific tasks.

Construction materials used in CRC are divided into two categories – discrete and continuous. Discrete materials would be square, rectangular or homogeneous bricks, struts, and sandbags. Continuous materials would be things like two-component foam, concrete, and fibers.

The study says that “challenges pertain to CRC hardware, especially in relation to coordination, communication, and multimodal sensing.” The robots need to be able to adequately communicate and coordinate with nearby robots for success. “As more advanced sensors such as radar, depth cameras, laser imaging and ranging systems, and GPS become cheaper and more readily accessible, they may play a bigger role in the field.”

The researchers reference two published systems, UAVs and climbing robots, that can be used to develop a metric that measures constructed volume relative to time, the number of robots used, and the volumetric size of each robot. “A flying robot [UAV] has higher energy expenditure and lower payload than a climbing robot

but may fly directly between material cache and deposition sites. Reversely, climbing robots can carry more but have to traverse through previous construction.”

The study is the first step in determining how robotics can make an impact in construction. Further study is needed to develop performance metrics, evaluate the reliability of CRC and its ability to adapt to changes in movement and expected behaviors of the other robots. There also needs to be more research in order to determine where humans fit into the CRC picture to oversee work, make adjustments and corrections when there is an error, and in the support and maintenance of the robots.

FRM Karen L. Edwards is the Director of Communications and Member Engagement for the Roofing Technology Think Tank (RT3).

High Performance.

BEST OVERALL VALUE.

“High-quality tile installation calls for highperformance components such as TILE BOND™.

The strong, yet workable, initial adhesion helps my crew complete jobs quickly and precisely, and the ready-to-use kit ensures quality, on-ratio adhesive in a simple, portable and maintenance-free system.”

Israel Jimenez

Independent Roof Tile Installation Specialist, Clearwater, Florida

Stick with the brand roofers have trusted for more than 25 years As every roofer knows, it’s not about material costs; it’s about installed costs. TILE BOND™ Roof Tile Adhesive from Dow is easy to use and offers the lowest installed cost per tile versus other one-component adhesives.

• Don’t be fooled by low tank cost – only cost per installed tile matters.

• TILE BOND™ has the highest yield in both field and hip/ridge applications.

• No calibration – always on ratio and ready to use.

• No equipment to purchase, clean out and maintain.

• Improved efficiency – have multiple installers working at once.

• Wet substrates are no problem – TILE BOND™ is moisture cured.

• Robust enough for complete roof jobs – not just for repairs.

• Over 50 NOAs and Florida Product Approval inside HVHZ (FL 22525)

NRCA For Foremen Only

Level 1 / 8:00 am – 5:00 pm / Amy Staska For Foremen Only, Level 1 is a program focusing on communication, leadership, and management skills for field managers. The roofing industry is filled with foremen and superintendents who are incredibly adept at expertly installing roof systems and who were promoted because of that expertise.

Unfortunately, these individuals often do not possess equal levels of leadership, communication and management skills needed to effectively run their crews. This program introduces the concept that managing, leading, and communicating are necessary tools to be a truly successful middle manager. It also uses interactive exercises to practice using these new "tools" to become effective crew leaders.This program is not included in the Full Registration – C.E. Seminars package or the 7-Hour C.E. Package and does not carry C.E. credits. Program is limited to 25 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. Course includes lunch sponsored by Ritz Safety LLC.

Business Continuity Insurance Furman Insurance Many business owners fail to consider how they would manage if a fire or natural disaster rendered their business premises temporarily unusable. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), almost 40 percent of all businesses that close down following a disaster never open again.

With advanced planning, there are measures you can take to protect your company’s bottom line. To safeguard your business, consider business continuity coverage, an insurance coverage added to your property package that funds the restoration of your business operations after a loss.

Types of Coverage

There are three types of business continuity coverage and specific items to consider for each:

Business Income

This is designed to replace income your business would have incurred had no loss occurred. Business income is generally defined as the net profit or loss before taxes, plus continuing normal operating expenses, including ordinary payroll (payroll for employees other than officers, executives, department managers, or employees under contract).

Coverage is generally limited to the loss of income sustained until the property is restored or a specific timeframe following the loss.

Specific Items to Consider It is important to review ordinary payroll annually. In the past, manufacturers chose not to insure their direct labor costs—unskilled labor was easily replaced. Consider if that’s still true in your marketplace today.

Review your projected timeframe for resuming business.

After a major loss, getting up and running may take much longer than you anticipate and can cost much more too. You may be back in business but your customers are still going to your competitor. An extended period of indemnity may be necessary to give you more time to restore your business to pre-loss level.

Extra Expense

This is designed to pay for necessary expenses incurred during the period of restoration of the property. Extra

expenses include those necessary to continue operating the business at its original location or at a temporary replacement location until the original location is repaired.

Specific Items to Consider Not all businesses would lose customers after a major loss. For example, a law firm would retain its clients and there would still be a flow of revenue; however, the costs involved in renting new office space, moving, and hooking up new phones and computers is considerable. Transitions are more expensive than you think. Increased rent, employee overtime, and moving costs are examples of extra expenses that service organizations should consider insuring.

Contingent Business Continuity

This is an extension of coverage designed to cover loss of income your business incurs due to a property loss at a key supplier or customer location. For example, if a key supplier experiences a fire at its plant and is unable to deliver parts or goods necessary for the continuation of your business, you may have a claim for a contingent business continuity loss.

Specific Items to Consider Contingent business continuity is the most overlooked area of exposure to loss. Your interdependency on your suppliers (under contract or not) or one large customer could put your business in jeopardy when that party suffers a major loss. Contingent business continuity coverage can fill this gap.

Finally, complete a business income worksheet every year to review all your exposures. The business income worksheet requires financial information for the current year, as well as projection into the next year. The projection portion is often skipped but trying to see into the future is important for setting proper overall limits.

TAMKO Case Study: TAMKO Heritage Woodgate Keeps History Alive at Jasper County Courthouse The Jasper County Courthouse is more than an impressive historic building at the heart of Carthage, Missouri; it is a revered symbol of the historic pride of the region, a nationally recognized landmark, and the second-most photographed building in the state, placing it squarely in the public eye. The three-story building with distinctive medieval features is also one of the most unique and challenging projects ever tackled by local roofing veteran Phillip Camerer of Phillip Camerer Roofing.

Camerer and his team’s charge was significant. They were tasked with preserving the critical historic design integrity of the building while simultaneously delivering a thoroughly modern roof system that would withstand the wear of intense weather. Camerer met the challenge with strategic planning, four months of strenuous labor, and a roofing shingle that fulfilled both the historically-correct aesthetic and the contemporary demands for this unique job: TAMKO Heritage Woodgate.

When it came to color, Camerer selected Black Sage, one of the six different colors Heritage Woodgate is offered in. He knew it would be a striking contrast to the building’s stone exterior and would draw the eye upward the moment the courthouse came into view.

Installation in Action

When Camerer’s team began to tear off the existing roof, asbestos was discovered just beneath the surface. Camerer’s crew, trained and certified in asbestos removal, managed the safe disposal over the course of two-and-a-half months.

During this lengthy process, it became clear that steps needed to be taken to safeguard the exposed roof during the remediation process. The solution was to apply TAMKO Moisture Guard, a self-adhering rubberized asphalt ice and Bidding for Success rain underlayment, to more than 200 square feet of roof area.

Cotney Construction Law Offers Legal Subscription Plans to Reduce Risk and Save Money Cotney Construction Law, a national full-service law firm dedicated to representing the construction industry, is changing how roofing contractors should budget for their legal spend. Whether you are a sole proprietor starting a new company or a multi-national contractor that is several generations old, budgeting for legal spend is essential to the maintenance of a profitable roofing business. Every roofing project consists of several moving parts that must be coordinated and balanced in order to complete the project and ultimately turn a profit. Cotney Construction Law helps its clients achieve this goal by managing risks in their contractual agreements, advising clients on good business practices and, when necessary, vigorously representing its clients in disputes.

Many businesses think of hiring an attorney only when there is the prospect of litigation or they have been served with a summons and complaint. Although you certainly need the services of a lawyer at these times, your company would be better served by hiring an attorney before a dispute ever arises. An attorney’s knowledge of your business, paired with their knowledge of the law, enables them to provide you with advice that may help you avoid, or at least minimize, disputes.

As a business involved in the construction industry, you can perform your work in accordance with the contract, follow the project plans and specifications, implement good business practices on the job, and still find yourself entangled in a lawsuit at the end of the day. Unfortunately, the cost of hiring an attorney often serves as a hurdle to roofing businesses that need legal representation.

Because of the cost of legal representation, many companies will pay money when they are not truly liable or will refuse to go after money that they are rightfully owed.

Legal disputes will arise. It is important that you anticipate, plan, and budget for disputes and the unforeseen expenses that are often associated with them.

Enter the world of law firm subscription-based legal services. Law firm subscription services provide a subscription-based plan that is tailored to the client. It provides the client with a predictable monthly billing plan for nonlitigation matters. Clients will no longer be surprised by the receipt of a legal bill that is significantly higher than expected. Instead, clients will have the flexibility to select a subscription level that best suits their needs at a set monthly rate.

Roofing companies that enroll in a law firm subscription-based plan are able to realize the benefit of retaining general counsel without the fees typically associated with doing so. Through the subscription plan, clients will have access to attorneys to assist with a variety of legal issues. Additionally, clients will be able to utilize law firm subscription-based services to ensure their companies are in compliance with laws and regulations that impact their businesses. In turn, clients will be able to better manage their risks and retain more of their hard-earned profits.

Consumer Ed: Is Your Roof Hurricane Ready?

Mike Silvers, CPRC, Silvers Systems Inc & FRSA Director of Technical Services FRSA was recently contacted by Mike DeForest of Channel 6 News television station in Orlando. They requested our help with their annual pre-hurricane season report. In preparing for the interview, I put together some suggestions for consumers. We thought it might be helpful to share some of our suggestions with our readers. If you are a member, feel free to share this with your customers.

If you live in the Orlando area, keep an eye out for the interview.

Preparing Your Roof for the Hurricane Season ■■ Inspect your roof if you are physically able and have the proper equipment (ladder, etc.). Be careful, you don’t want to create a man-made disaster while trying to prepare for a natural one.

■■ If your roof covering is tile and you don’t know how to walk on it, you shouldn’t. You can do serious damage to the tile. This also applies to metal products that imitate tile.

■■ Metal roofs can be very slick, particularly where they are shaded. This can also be true for other roof coverings as well.

■■ If you are in doubt, you should strongly consider hiring a professional. Ask yourself this question: even if I successfully climb up to, traverse, and climb down from my roof, will I know what to look for?

■■ Missing, displaced or cracked tile or shingles should be identified and addressed.

■■ Drainage systems such as drains, scuppers, and gutters should be cleaned out and inspected.

■■ Flashings at valleys, walls, change of slope, or roof types should be inspected and addressed if needed.

missing, damaged, or loose caps.

■■ Penetrations like vents, electrical risers, pipe and conduit penetrations, and plumbing stacks should be addressed as needed. In particular, if you have lead boots on your plumbing stacks, you should look for squirrel damage. They chew the top off the boots and during heavy sustained rains these will leak. A new lead sleeve can be installed over the existing boot as long as the damage is not too close to the roof surface. A little sealant on the top edge may discourage the squirrels.

■■ If it has been a while since your roof was installed, give some consideration to when it should be replaced.

Different roof types have varying serviceable life cycles. A licensed roofing contractor can give you some idea based on the roof type and its age, but there is no substitute for getting a knowledgeable professional to assess your roof covering’s overall condition.

■■ If reroofing is needed, make sure your sheathing is renailed if required to meet the current building code.

■■ Consider upgrading the roof-to-wall connections and gable end bracing if they are deficient.

■■ Inspect porch or carport columns. Also inspect metal canopies and screen enclosures both for attachment at columns and walls, as well as how they attach to the main structure. If these are blown off they can do a lot of damage to the structure as they leave.

Roofing Apprenticeship Program Highlights Lisa Pate, FRSA Executive Director Our roofing rock stars have been extremely busy over the last eight weeks and have finally completed their first semester. They’ll take the summer off and will begin their second semester in September. During this time, they take what they’ve learned during their first year of an accelerated version of the ABC Roofing Apprenticeship Program and apply it as they continue working. In addition to 144 hours of classroom training, the apprentices will need to complete 2,000 hours of on-the-job training per year.

Since the last update in the March issue of Florida Roofing, the apprentices have completed the fastener and adhesive section and spent many additional hours of training on roofing flashing and learning the principles of weather sealing of architectural sheet metal. In addition, they’ve learned the procedures for fabrication and installation of selected flashing components. Thanks to OMG for providing assistance to the Building Materials, Fasteners and Adhesives module with demonstrations of RhinoBond and low-rise foam adhesive.

The module also provided a review of general building materials (concrete, steel, and wood), fastener types and uses, and adhesives common to the construction industry.

The flashing module included information on flashing

Next, the apprentices began training on sheet metal processes, which included an introduction to the skills, equipment, and procedures involved with metal cutting, bending, forming, and joining. Hands-on training included activities for hand tools and machine operations. This training took place at Tecta America in Sanford, Fla. with Mike Winant and Dave Parker. Special thanks to Dave and Mike for the hands-on demonstration of coping cap corner miters and inside and outside gutter corners, as well as general installation details.

Tecta also provided the participants with two pairs of snips and bending tools.

conditions, transition considerations and detailing. A special thanks to Chem-Link who sponsored the lab session and provided ample materials for demonstration.

The final class for the first semester focused on solar roofing, and soldering, and covered the selection and application of materials and tools for soldering sheet metal parts and sealing seams.

For the solar portion, Quick Mount PV assisted in the presentation as subject matter experts. The class covered the history of solar power, solar power generation, recent code changes, and installation procedures.

“We had an awesome wrap up to the semester on Friday,” said instructor Clay Thomas, Advanced Roofing. “The day started with a great lesson on solar power and mounting installation techniques with the team from Quick Mount

We splurged a little with lunch from Sonny’s BBQ and celebrated with a nice cake provided by the folks at FRSA. The FRSA team is a great supporter of the program. After lunch we finished off the semester’s metals module with a soldering class. We talked solder and sealed horizontal seams in copper and stainless in a hands-on lab. The men really enjoyed the soldering exercise and newly acquired skills. Thanks to Dave from Tecta for lending a hand to Mike and me for the soldering; it’s great to have a true craftsman available to help out.”

“I am really looking forward to the start of the next semester,” Thomas continued, “These gentlemen have earned my respect and everyone involved should be very proud of their accomplishments. Hopefully, the industry relationships they are cultivating will last a lifetime.”

Mike Silvers, Silvers Systems Inc and FRSA stated “Clay has done an outstanding job, not only with his presentations, but also in planning and preparing the course material and setting up the clinics. The rapport he has built with the class and the energy he brings is to be admired. It has been a pleasure to help out whenever my schedule has allowed. The input from all of the guest instructors has been extremely beneficial. This group of young men has already come a long way towards achieving a broader based understanding of our trade and our industry. We should all be very proud of their

growth. Like Clay, I’m also looking forward to the next semester. Many of the group took the time to thank me personally at the end of the day Friday. They were very sincere in their appreciation for this opportunity. The experience has been quite rewarding. My thanks to everyone involved.”

We reached out to the employers who had students in the program for feedback and received the following comments.

Emely Rankin, Collis Roofing, Longwood: “Our guys have shared how great this program is and how much they have learned and how appreciative they are for getting this opportunity. This program has given them courage to be confident in their skills and foresee a brighter future in this industry.”

Eric Jackson, Total Roof Services, Orlando: “Gumer really likes the class and is ‘very appreciative of us for sending him through it!’ He especially likes the hands-on training aspect of certain classes. I think the investments that the companies have put forth in these employees will pay back many dividends over time. Thanks to FRSA for helping us make the apprenticeship program a reality!”

Nicole Eisenhardt, Tecta America, Sanford: “Traditionally, the roofing industry has not been known as a profession that trains. However, this apprenticeship program has created a foundation for people entering this industry to make this more than a job. It is a career and a profession to be proud of.

Most impressive is how the roofers in this program help each other with the hands-on part of the training, teaching each other. I am proud to be among roofing contractors that put the development of their people first, despite being competitors in the same market. We are changing a stigma about the roofing industry — roofers DO train and our profession is one to be PROUD of.”

The apprenticeship team from Advanced Roofing Inc, Sanford had this to say: Koron Maultsby: “Glad

to know that Advanced Roofing believes in me and has given me the opportunity to better myself.”

Fabian McKinney: “I work in the service department for Advanced Roofing and we go on different types of roofs every day. In the training, we are learning the difference between TPO, PVC, Modified and BUR. Helps a lot.”

Randy Jennings: “I feel like I am ready to move off of fries!

With all that we have learned in the first semester, it has accelerated my experience on the roof with my job.”

The ABC Apprenticeship Program will begin in other locations throughout Florida with talks in progress for Tampa and Sarasota in the near future. We’ll keep you posted as these programs develop.

Brad Sutter, Sutter Roofing Company of Florida Executive Vice President, 23 Years Brad is an FRSA Past President and Life Member and has served on FRSA’s Board of Directors, Convention Committee, Educational Foundation and the Foundation Board of Governors.

How did you get started in the roofing industry?

Aside from being born into it, I started visiting job sites with my dad and learned how to be a dashboard superintendent at a very young age! I also worked on roofing projects during summers in high school and college to learn about systems and installation methods.

What’s your favorite part of the job?

That every job is different and has unique challenges, details, and intricacies. It's also cool that we get to work on a lot of interesting facilities and see things that a lot of folks won't get to experience.

How long have you been involved with FRSA? 21 Years What do you personally find most rewarding about being involved with FRSA? I've seen so many instances of members helping one another through the years and have always been impressed with the lengths they will go to in order to help each other professionally or personally.

What’s the most unusual roofing project that you’ve been a part of?

That's a really tough question. There have been a lot of difficult weird ones, and sometimes it's the wackos we had to deal with on the projects that made them unusual.

Overall, I would say that doing the retrofit conversion of the roofs on the O'Connell Center at the University of Florida and the Sun Dome at USF were the most complex.

After it had the new structure and deck in place, we roofed the O'Connell Center in 29 days.

What advice would you give to someone interested in joining the roofing industry?

Take the time to listen to what people are trying to explain to you about technical aspects and business. More often than not, they are right and the advice or guidance they give you comes from experience and will come back tenfold over the years.

What do you consider a waste of time?

Complaining about labor issues in our industry without taking steps to help change it, starting with training your own employees. People that complain about things without offering any solutions.

What would be your ideal place to live and why?

I already live there! We live where they come to vacation.

What’s your favorite vacation?

I love to travel, but if I had to pick one place, I could walk around Rome and all over Italy for months and never tire of looking at its history.

What is your dream job?

Holding it together as the drummer in a rock-n-roll band.

They'd have to throw Matt Cameron out of Pearl Jam for me, but I'd do my best to fill in!

90

If you could spend time with three people (living or not), who would they be and why?

Both of my grandfathers on each side of my family because I never had a chance to know either of them. I'd also like to have a long chat with John Lennon and see if he ever found that peace he was looking for and if it was as cool being one of The Beatles as it looked.

FLORIDA ROOFING | June 2019

What’s your favorite pastime activity?

I enjoy boating and fishing with my family and friends.

Being out on the water is a great release and stress buster.

What other activities and organizations are you involved with?

I was recently appointed to a two-year term on the NRCA Executive Committee. I'm excited to represent us as the first Executive Committee member from Florida in many years.

What would surprise others to learn about you?

That I really enjoy learning about different periods in history and how people lived during those times.

FRSA congratulates Brad on his new position with NRCA! FRM
