Karol WeymanHOST
So formal question, like what have you learned from working in both the Canadian and U.S. roofing markets?

John KenneyGUEST
So the first thing that I've learned is that we are far more alike than we are different.

John KenneyGUEST
That's one thing I think the roofing organization, the fundamentals of running a successful roofing company do not change at the border.

John KenneyGUEST
You got to have accurate estimating processes, planning matters, communications, safety for sure.

John KenneyGUEST
Well, there's a lot of trends that are happening, and roof coatings are running into a lot of problems, and they're fighting it on a high level where insurance companies don't want to include coating in the mix as far as restoration, which I don't personally agree with.

John KenneyGUEST
But the other problem that's coming out now, the new building codes that are popping up in Florida, of course, on a new building code, it becomes very clear that coating is being considered a roof covering.

John KenneyGUEST
And when coating is considered a roof covering, that takes a lot of options away.

John KenneyGUEST
The other thing on a national level is for sure, the roofing contractors are being separated out of the mix from being able to deal directly with insurance claims, which you are here in Florida.

John KenneyGUEST
You got to have your public adjusters got to be separate from a roofing contractor.
