By Emma Peterson. 

Let’s look back at the last year through the top articles from our amazing roofing influencers. 

2024 has been quite the year! In 2023, we were excited to start the year with our new site and this year we are looking ahead at CoatingsCoffeeShops™ (CCS)’s second birthday. We wanted to take a moment to look at how far we’ve come in that time and appreciate everyone who has supported us, from our incredible crew members to the amazing industry professionals around us. We are endlessly grateful to all the support we have received, but want to take a special moment for our amazing CCS Influencers. 

Our influencers are experts and leaders in the coatings world and have come together on CCS to share their diverse knowledge and expertise with our users. We are honored that they have taken the time to share their opinions, tips and advice and can’t thank them enough for the many articles they have written over the last year. From questions about cause marketing and preparing for financial setbacks to understanding fluid-applied system warranties and industry advocacy opportunities, they have created a vast resource of information for anyone in the industry.
