National Roofing Week, celebrated each year in June, is designed to raise awareness of the significance of roofs to every home and business. It serves as a reminder that the roof is one of the most important components of every structure. It is the first line of defense against natural elements, such as rain, snow or wind, yet it often is taken for granted until it falls into disrepair. National Roofing Week 2019 is sponsored by National Women in Roofing, ABC Supply Co. Inc., A.C.T. Metal Deck Supply, Carlisle SynTec, FlashCo, GAF, Polyglass U.S.A. Inc. and Sherwin-Williams.
National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) hosts the We are Family Raffle that involves companies submitting group photo to NRCA for a chance to win a prize. Additionally, the NRCA has a Giving Day to raise funds to benefit the Melvin Kruger Endowed Scholarship Program and help shape the future of the roofing industry. NRCA’s goal is to raise $100,000 in gifts to provide additional scholarships for college and vocational-technical school students who plan to pursue careers in the roofing or building construction industries.
National Roofing Week encourages all companies and members in the industry to participate by engaging in their communities and informing the public about the essential role roofs and professional roofing contractors play in every community. The week also promotes the good deeds of the roofing industry and the importance of making informed decisions about maintaining or replacing any roof system.
