Asbestos & Roof Consulting: Watching Your Step

January 9, 2018 by admin

Published In: “RCI Interface, Journal of The Roof Consultants Institute”
By Chuck Marvin, RRC

The roofing industry now has sanity regarding asbestos regulations at the federal level. This improved situation is due in large part and perhaps completely to the National Roofing Contractors Association’s (NRCA’s) legal action taken against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This became a real life David versus Goliath battle and after several years, Goliath was defeated.

Environmentally-Friendly Roofing Systems

For the corrosion to occur, leaks do not need to be present. The dynamics have been known for over 13 years in nonroof-related industries. Through the process of managing a client’s assets in Southeast Florida, we found ourselves researching and uncovering

Moving Past Clichés

Published In: “Roof Warranties – Moving Past Cliche’s Interface Article”
By Chuck Marvin, RRC

The statements above list some of the more common clichés about roof warranties. Three years ago I attended an RCI meeting with two Registered Roof Observers who, at the time, had been with my company a little over two years. They heard multiple speakers espouse the above clichés to laughter and acceptance by the 80 or so attendees.
