Hail to the King? Not any more. Now it has become "Hail is King!"  Yes, it's that time of year when the big storms (hail, wind and tornadoes) start showing up in all parts of the country. Are you ready for storm season?

While have to deal with OSHA and the new safety rules and regulations for steep slope roofing and crane operation, valuable selling time is being loss. Couple that with with researching Factory Mutual Global (FMG), Underwriters Laboratory (UL) tests and building code changes, you are spending way to much time in the office. Now, on top of all of that, add-in trying to determine the various differences in insurance companies and their roofing requirements, you need some fast and timely help.

My suggestion, don't rack your brain on the hard stuff, just call or email  the appropriate manufacturer's technical support department. They are knowledgeable and ready to assist you with questions about codes, FMG and UL approvals, impact resistance (Class III or IV testing and Severe Hail (SH) approvals), general concerns, preexisting conditions and specific applications.


Have a safe and healthy roofing season,
