  1. Roofing Industry Expos Provide Opportunities for Growth

    Leave a Comment

    Many Knickerbocker Roofing & Paving Co., Inc. employees recently participated in the 35th annual Chicago Roofing Contractors Association (CRCA) Trade Show in Oak Brook on January 18-19, 2018.  The Knickerbocker team took the opportunity to listen to industry leaders with expertise in design, building codes, construction law and more.  We networked with specifiers, suppliers and manufacturer representatives to stay on the forefront of what is happening in roofing in the Chicagoland area and nationally.  The safety seminar was attended by more than twenty-five Knickerbocker field employees and supervisors who spent their morning learning about the latest trends in safety and the most recent changes that provide for their well-being each day on the roof.

    With over 2,700 attendees this year, the show continues to be a premier regional event in the roofing and waterproofing industry.  Knickerbocker is proud to support and actively participate in the CRCA, including having our own Brian Cronin serving as 2nd Vice President of the organization.

    The largest industry show is the International Roofing Expo (IRE), sponsored by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA).  The IRE will be in New Orleans this year February 6-8.  Key members from Knickerbocker will be in attendance, making valuable connections, expanding our network and building professional relationships.  The exhibits will offer another opportunity to see the latest in roofing technology and processes from around the country.

    Like the CRCA Trade Show, the IRE is attended by a wide range of industry professionals including contractors, manufacturers, facility managers, architects and more.  With 1,317 booths at the show, we will be busy refreshing our knowledge of industry technology, products, safety and professional skills.  Additionally, there are more than 44 educational sessions for us to best utilize our time at the show.

    Throughout 2016, we saw the industry continue to rebound, with growth in both commercial and residential construction. For us at Knickerbocker Roofing, this proved to be another successful year, as we proudly promoted workplace safety, responsible building techniques, and seasonal protection solutions. Now, our team is looking ahead as we gear up for what’s sure to be an exciting 2017.

    This year we will continue our mission as top industry problem solvers, offering only the best solutions and high-quality product installation from our thoroughly skilled employees. Our biggest assets are efficiency (both in time and general roofing construction, repairs, and installation), sheet metal, and waterproofing industries through our conscientious and knowledgeable work ethic that continuously outshines our competition and meets or exceeds our clients’ expectations.

    Inwardly, the Knickerbocker team sets sights on important trade shows to expand our already remarkable knowledge of the industry. And 2017 will be no exception as we’ve already hit the ground running.

    To kick off the new year, our team attended the Chicago Roofing Contractors Association (CRCA) Trade Show & Seminars January 19th-20th. The 34th annual trade show was held at the Drury Lane Conference Center in Oakbrook Terrace, Ill., and featured expert keynote speakers, educational breakout sessions, and nearly 200 exhibitors showcasing on the expo floor.

    The sold-out 2017 CRCA Trade Show proved again to be one of the biggest events in the industry; top leaders from all around the region gathered under one roof to discuss the latest trends and innovations in roofing. Our team was particularly excited to learn about new roofing technologies and what to expect this year. Presentations topics included steep slope ventilation, equipment safety, and structural lightweight concrete research. We were happy to catch up with old customers, see new faces, and, most of all, learn from other industry professionals.

    Our team can’t wait to jump into even more 2017 trade shows and seminars,  giving us the opportunity to continue providing our customers with our top-tech, high-quality, reliable roofing services they’ve come to expect from our team. IRE kicks off March 1st through the 3rd! Visit the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada sponsored by NRCA. The distinguished roofing construction and maintenance event is one of the finest industry gatherings for professionals to compare and learn about new products, best practices, latest trends, technology advances, and innovations to success.
