<h2>Explora oportunidades educativas enfocadas en temas que van desde el rendimiento de los techos y la evoluci&oacute;n de los c&oacute;digos hasta el dise&ntilde;o de la envolvente del edificio y la administraci&oacute;n de negocios durante el evento de este a&ntilde;o.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>La educaci&oacute;n continua brinda a los profesionales del techado la oportunidad de alejarse por un momento de las exigencias del d&iacute;a a d&iacute;a y conocer m&aacute;s a fondo los sistemas, materiales, requisitos y factores econ&oacute;micos que influyen en su trabajo. En el <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/wre-2026" target="_blank">Western Roofing Expo 2026</a>,&nbsp;organizado por la <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/wsrca" target="_blank">Western States Roofing Contractors Association,</a>&nbsp;los asistentes podr&aacute;n explorar una amplia variedad de seminarios dise&ntilde;ados para fortalecer sus conocimientos sobre techado, relacionar las decisiones t&eacute;cnicas con edificios de mejor rendimiento y ayudarlos a tomar mejores decisiones de negocio.&nbsp;</p>

<p>El programa comienza con la evoluci&oacute;n de los principales sistemas de techado. Ken Klein analizar&aacute; cuatro d&eacute;cadas de sistemas de membrana de una sola capa (single-ply), incluyendo los cambios en materiales, m&eacute;todos de fijaci&oacute;n y detalles de instalaci&oacute;n que han surgido a partir de la experiencia en el lugar de trabajo.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/trent-cotney-rcs-influencer" target="_blank">Trent Cotney</a>&nbsp;y&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/john-kenney-speakers-bureau" target="_blank">John Kenney</a>&nbsp;ofrecer&aacute;n una perspectiva m&aacute;s amplia de la industria al analizar c&oacute;mo los materiales para techos, la mano de obra especializada, los c&oacute;digos y la tecnolog&iacute;a han evolucionado con el paso del tiempo.</p>

<p>La resistencia al fuego es otro tema importante. Marco Sieber y Maury Alpert hablar&aacute;n sobre cubiertas y capas base para techos que pueden ayudar a reducir los efectos de las llamas y las brasas en las zonas donde las &aacute;reas naturales se encuentran con las comunidades. Continuando con este tema, Jess Grandy analizar&aacute; las nuevas regulaciones de ventilaci&oacute;n y las opciones de ventilaci&oacute;n resistentes al fuego dise&ntilde;adas para ayudar a los propietarios de viviendas a preparar sus propiedades y cumplir con los c&oacute;digos correspondientes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Los asistentes tambi&eacute;n podr&aacute;n ampliar sus conocimientos sobre la humedad y el rendimiento de los techos ante diferentes condiciones clim&aacute;ticas. Phil Dregger compartir&aacute; los resultados de un estudio de tres a&ntilde;os sobre la acumulaci&oacute;n de agua y el deterioro de la madera debajo de sistemas de techado reflectantes. Mindy Dahlquist analizar&aacute; c&oacute;mo la retenci&oacute;n de nieve, la ventilaci&oacute;n, la geometr&iacute;a del techo y la selecci&oacute;n de materiales afectan el rendimiento de los techos en climas fr&iacute;os y mixtos del oeste de Estados Unidos.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Varias sesiones se enfocar&aacute;n en las responsabilidades de dise&ntilde;o y los cambios en los requisitos de construcci&oacute;n. Brian Chamberlain explicar&aacute; las diferencias entre las expectativas de dise&ntilde;o y la cobertura incluida en las garant&iacute;as publicadas por los fabricantes. Matt Braun analizar&aacute; los nuevos requisitos para las barreras de aire en proyectos de reemplazo de techos y explicar&aacute; c&oacute;mo interact&uacute;an las capas de control de aire, humedad y temperatura. Brian tambi&eacute;n dirigir&aacute; una sesi&oacute;n sobre las conexiones entre el techo y los muros, abordando las filtraciones de aire, la resistencia al viento, la compatibilidad de los productos y la coordinaci&oacute;n entre los diferentes oficios en uno de los puntos m&aacute;s importantes de la envolvente del edificio.&nbsp;</p>

Ellsworth!</a> En la sesi&oacute;n Roofing Trends That Matter, Heidi compartir&aacute; informaci&oacute;n del RoofersCoffeeShop 2025 Trends Report, que recopil&oacute; datos de encuestas realizadas a m&aacute;s de 200 profesionales del techado, incluyendo contratistas residenciales, comerciales y mixtos de empresas de diferentes tama&ntilde;os.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Durante esta presentaci&oacute;n, los asistentes conocer&aacute;n c&oacute;mo los contratistas se est&aacute;n adaptando mediante la tecnolog&iacute;a, el marketing digital y cambios en sus operaciones. Tambi&eacute;n recibir&aacute;n consejos pr&aacute;cticos sobre c&oacute;mo utilizar el marketing, la tecnolog&iacute;a y la participaci&oacute;n en la comunidad para generar confianza, aumentar la visibilidad y fortalecer la estabilidad del negocio a largo plazo.&nbsp;</p>

<p>En conjunto, estos seminarios ofrecen educaci&oacute;n pr&aacute;ctica para los profesionales que buscan mejorar la instalaci&oacute;n, el dise&ntilde;o, el cumplimiento de c&oacute;digos y normas, y el rendimiento de los techos a largo plazo.

<h2>Explore education focused on everything from roof performance and evolving codes to building-envelope design and business management at this year&#39;s show.</h2>

<p>Continuing education gives roofing professionals an opportunity to step away from daily demands and take a closer look at the systems, materials, requirements and economic forces shaping their work. At the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/wre-2026" target="_blank">Western Roofing Expo 2026</a>, hosted by <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/wsrca" target="_blank">Western States Roofing Contractors Association,</a> attendees can explore a broad seminar lineup designed to strengthen roofing knowledge, connect technical decisions to better-performing buildings and help them make better business deciscions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The program starts with the evolution of core roofing systems. Ken Klein will examine four decades of single-ply roofing, including changes in materials, attachment methods and detailing driven by jobsite experience.<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/trent-cotney-rcs-influencer" target="_blank"> Trent Cotney</a> and<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/john-kenney-speakers-bureau" target="_blank"> John Kenney </a>will offer a wider industry perspective by tracing how roofing materials, craftsmanship, codes and technology have developed over time.</p>

<p>Fire resilience is another important focus. Marco Sieber and Maury Alpert will discuss roof coverings and underlayments that can help mitigate the effects of flame and embers in the wildland-urban interface. Building on that conversation, Jess Grandy will review developing ventilation regulations and fire-resistant vent options intended to help homeowners prepare their properties and meet applicable codes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Attendees can also deepen their understanding of moisture and climate-related performance. Phil Dregger will share findings from a three-year study involving water accumulation and wood decay below reflective roofing. Mindy Dahlquist will explore how snow retention, ventilation, roof geometry and material selection affect roof performance in cold and mixed climates across the western United States.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Several sessions turn attention to design responsibilities and changing building requirements. Brian Chamberlain will clarify the differences between design expectations and manufacturers&rsquo; published warranty coverage. Matt Braun will examine emerging air-barrier requirements for reroofing and explain how air, moisture and thermal-control layers interact. Brian will also lead a session on roof-to-wall connections, addressing air leakage, wind resistance, product compatibility and trade coordination at one of the building envelope&rsquo;s most important junctions.</p>

<p><a href="https://westernroofingexpo.com/wsrca-western-states-commercial-residential-roofing-waterproofing-contractors-association-events/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/uploads/media/2026/08/strengthen-your-skills-at-the-western-roofing-expo-hje-presentation.png" style="float:right; height:350px; margin-left:20px; width:350px" /></a>In addition to the technically focused sessions, there are sessions that focus on business management. One such session will be taught by our President and CEO, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/heidi-j-ellsworth" target="_blank">Heidi J. Ellsworth!</a> In the session, Roofing Trends That Matter, Heidi will share about the RoofersCoffeeShop 2025 Trends Report, which collected&nbsp;contractor survey data from more than 200 roofing professionals representing residential, commercial and mixed contractors of all sizes. Attendees of this presentation will &quot;gain insight into how contractors are adapting through technology, digital marketing and operational changes&quot; and get practical tips for using &quot;marketing, technology and community involvement to build trust, increase visibility and strengthen long-term business stability.&quot;</p>

<p>Together, these seminars offer practical education for professionals working to improve installation, design, compliance and long-term roof performance. Select sessions also provide continuing education opportunities through the American Institute of Architects and <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/iibec-international-institute-of-building-enclosure-consultants" target="_blank">the International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants.</a></p>

<h2>The Colorado Roofing Association has released a member resource and announced an upcoming panel discussion with IIBEC to help roofing professionals understand the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code.</h2>

<p>As communities across Colorado adopt and enforce the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code (CWRC), roofing contractors may encounter new project requirements and varying interpretations among municipalities. To help members navigate these changes, the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/colorado-roofing-association-cra-2" target="_blank">Colorado Roofing Association (CRA)</a> Building Code and Standards Committee has developed a new educational advisory focused on the code&rsquo;s implementation.</p>

<p>The member-only resource explains:</p>

<ul>
	<li>When the CWRC may apply to roofing projects and outlines practical considerations for contractors preparing to work under the new fire codes</li>
	<li>New structure-hardening and defensible-space requirements</li>
	<li>Recommendations for coordination with local building and fire departments and communication with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs)</li>
	<li>Documentation and compliance considerations</li>
	<li>Best practices intended to help contractors reduce inspection issues and project delays</li>
</ul>

<p>It is important to note, that this advisory is a general educational resource. It is not a substitute for adopted codes, local amendments, project-specific requirements or guidance from the appropriate AHJ. Because code adoption, amendments and interpretations may differ by jurisdiction, CRA encourages contractors to verify the requirements for each project with the applicable AHJ. Members should also review the complete advisory for its legal disclaimer and limitations.</p>

<p>And the advisory isn&#39;t the only thing the CRA team is doing to help contractors navigate the new code. CRA will be collaboriating with the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/iibec-international-institute-of-building-enclosure-consultants" target="_blank">International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants (IIBEC)</a> to host a panel dicsussion on September 10, 2026 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at MCA The Cube in Denver. The discussion, titled<em>&nbsp;Fire Code: What Roofers Need to Know</em>, will see roofing industry leaders, building officials, fire officials and legal counsels discuss code implementation, common questions and practical considerations for contractors.</p>

<h2>A coalition of industry trade associations representing contractors, consultants and manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada has completed its Quarterly Market Index Survey for Reroofing for the second quarter of 2026.</h2>

<p>The survey is an industrywide effort spearheaded by a coalition of trade associations, including the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/asphalt-roofing-manufacturers-association-arma" target="_blank">Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/canadian-roofing-contractor-association-crca" target="_blank">Canadian Roofing Contractors Association</a>, Chemical Fabrics &amp; Film Association Inc., EPDM Roofing Association, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/iibec-international-institute-of-building-enclosure-consultants" target="_blank">International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/metal-construction-association-mca-2" target="_blank">Metal Construction Association,</a> <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/mra-metal-roofing-alliance" target="_blank">Metal Roofing Alliance,</a> <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/nrca" target="_blank">National Roofing Contractors Association,</a> <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/nwir" target="_blank">National Women in Roofing</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/polyisocyanurate-insulation-manufacturers-association-pima" target="_blank">Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/roof-coatings-manufacturers-association-rcma" target="_blank">Roof Coatings Manufacturers Association </a>and <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/spri" target="_blank">Single Ply Roofing Industry</a>.</p>

<p>Sixty-eight percent of survey responses came from roofing contractors, and 32% of responses came from roof consultants. 44% of respondents indicated they primarily work on low-slope roof systems; 44% indicated they primarily work on a blend of low-slope and steep-slope roof systems; and 12% indicated they primarily work on steep-slope roof systems.</p>

<p>Participants who identify as roofing contractors were asked to report the number of squares of reroofing material installed by their companies during the second quarter of 2026 compared with the same quarter in 2025. 35% of respondents reported the volume of reroofing materials installed increased, 28% reported no change and 37% reported a decrease in materials installed year-over-year.</p>

<p>37% &nbsp;of all survey respondents indicated their customer inquiries increased. 32% of respondents reported no change in activity, and 31% indicated a decrease. Project contracts increased for 38% of respondents, 32% reported no change in activity and 30% indicated a decrease in project contracts.</p>

<p>Additionally, two indices offer insight regarding customer inquiries and project contracts across market segments. The indices are based on a 0 to 100 scale. A score of 50 or higher suggests expansion or optimism; a score below 50 indicates contraction or pessimism.</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>The customer inquiries index score </strong>for the total industry decreased to 53.5 compared with 57.1 for the first quarter of 2026. The score for the steep-slope reroofing market is 31.8, the score for the low-slope reroofing market is 60.2, and the score for the blended low- and steep-slope reroofing market is 52.4.</li>
	<li><strong>The project contracts index score</strong> for the total industry increased to 54.3 compared with 52.9 for the first quarter of 2026. The score for the steep-slope reroofing market is 40.9, the score for the low-slope reroofing market is 63.3, and the score for the blended low- and steep-slope reroofing market is 48.8.</li>
</ul>

<p>As of July 2026, 30% of respondents reported no project backlogs, 32% indicated project backlogs of one to two months, and 24% indicated backlogs of three to four months. 14% of respondents reported project backlogs of five or more months.</p>

<p>The complete results of the Quarterly Market Index Survey for Reroofing are available to those who participate in the survey via an online dashboard that enables users to filter results by region and other metrics. Any contractor or consultant who wants to participate in the next quarter&rsquo;s survey can sign up for a notification at&nbsp;<a href="https://nrca.cmail19.com/t/t-l-wudhhdt-wlldhjyth-y/" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/37ank7D</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Mantenerse al d&iacute;a en la industria del roofing puede ser todo un desaf&iacute;o. Ya sea enfrentando tormentas cada vez m&aacute;s intensas en el campo o lidiando con la escasez de mano de obra y materiales desde la oficina, contar con la informaci&oacute;n y las herramientas adecuadas es clave para seguir siendo competitivo. Afortunadamente, la <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/wsrca">Western States Roofing Contractors Association (WSRCA)</a> organiza cada a&ntilde;o el <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/wre-2026">Western Roofing Expo (WRE)</a>, un evento de dos d&iacute;as dise&ntilde;ado para ayudar a los profesionales del roofing a enfrentar estos retos y conocer las &uacute;ltimas tendencias de la industria.&nbsp;</p>
