Top August articles: Innovative products, wildfire resistance, customer service and cool roofing

By Emma Peterson.  

Take a look at the articles that resonated most with AAR readers this August.  

Our editorial team here at The Coffee Shops® has been especially busy providing articles that help bridge the gap between home and building owners and the roofing world. In August 2026 alone, we published over two dozen articles. To end the month, we wanted to highlight the top articles our incredible writers published!  

Emma Richardson, one of our newer writers, got on the AAR top August list for an insightful article about how cities can utilize acrylic roof coatings, like those that ROOFCORP produces, to meet evolving code requirements and mitigate the urban heat island effect. 

Another writer featured on the top five list is Jesse Sanchez! Jesse’s article dove into the importance of working with a roofing contractor that prioritizes customer care. Specifically, his article uses Mr. Roofing, one of our R-Club members and recent recipient of he 2026 Guildmaster Award from GuildQuality, as an example of next level customer care. 

And our other writer, Emma Peterson, was also featured on this month’s list! She wrote a few articles, including one that covered Tremco Roofing Products' release of the new Vulkem® Pro Series – their first retail marketed roofing and waterproofing products.  

Her other two articles were project profiles, one covered how the WTI PureAir team retrofitted an HVAC solution for an Orlando Children’s Hospital and the other was all about a homeowner from Pacific Palisades rebuilding with a Westlake Royal Roofing Products’ Unified Steel stone coated steel roofing.
