RoofersCoffeeShop® LIVE hits the road for this special episode of Roofing Road Trips® from the CertainTeed Business Building Workshop (BBW), where we sit down with roofing contractors who are investing in their businesses, teams and long-term success through one of the industry's most respected development programs. In this episode, contractors share their experiences at BBW, discuss why ongoing education and peer collaboration are critical to raising the bar across regional markets and highlight the leadership, operational strategies and actionable ideas they are taking home for 2026 and beyond. The conversation also explores emerging trends, growth opportunities and the value of strong manufacturer partnerships, with attendees explaining how aligning with CertainTeed helps them deliver consistent quality while gaining access to resources that support sustainable business growth.

In this episode of Roofing Road Trips®, Megan Ellsworth welcomes Mark Vargas of Anchor Products to explore the evolution of rooftop pipe and equipment supports and why what was once considered a minor detail has become a critical part of roof system performance. From early reliance on non-penetrating systems to failures driven by real-world conditions and seismic events, this conversation breaks down what changed and how codes and enforcement followed. Contractors will walk away with a clear understanding of modern support standards, smarter attachment methods and where the industry is headed next.

In this Read Listen Watch®, host Karen Edwards is joined by John Kenney of Cotney Consulting Group to break down how robotics and automation are beginning to influence the construction industry and what that means for roofing contractors. Rather than focusing on fear or speculation, the conversation centers on awareness, preparation and operational readiness. John shares where robotics are most likely to show up first, why this shift is more about process discipline than machines and how contractors can begin familiarizing themselves with emerging technology without disrupting crews or culture. This session is about staying informed, strengthening operations and making sure roofing companies are positioned to adapt rather than fall behind.
