By Emma Peterson.  

What has the AskARoofer™ audience been reading?  

The weather and the season might be changing, but here at AskARoofer, our team is still consistently putting out high-quality content meant to help you better understand the roof above your head! And now that we are at the end of September, we wanted to share a recap of the top articles that came out last month! 

Our list kicks off with a story from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards perfect for this time of year! As weather grows colder for the Northern Hemisphere, many areas begin to face the prospect of wintertime snow and ice. In their article, Rocky Mountain Snow Guards shares how home and business owners can prep for cold precipitation by getting engineered snow guards installed!  

Also on this month’s list were some articles with expert advice! One was an article from experts at Pinnacle Roofing and Skylights and Stellar Roofing sharing insight into how a homeowner from Maine could match a mystery shingle’s color and the other was from Cotney Consulting Group and covered what the roofing process looks like when the project is in occupied buildings. 

Rounding out the list are a couple articles by The Coffee Shops®! One is all about exploring sustainable metal roofing at the upcoming METALCON show (happening October 7-9) and the other is an article by senior content developer Emma Peterson about how Southern California homeowners are rebuilding in the wake of wildfires with durable materials like Westlake Royal Roofing Products’ Unified Steel.
