Check out the top ten most popular June articles from The Coffee Shops™! 

June was a busy month for our readers, who enjoyed stories from all across the roofing, metal and coatings industries. As the summer heat continues to rage on, now is the perfect time to kick back and enjoy a nice break, reading up on the latest topics and trends. One such article that many readers enjoyed showcased the hottest topics taking the construction industry by storm — namely, metal. The epicenter of this conversation began in Chicago at the annual Metal Construction Association (MCA) summer meeting. Organization members converged en masse on the city to discuss the current economic landscape, market studies and all things metal.  

Another highly viewed article highlights the innovative ways business owners in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning sectors are embracing the changing times by finding ways to utilize the latest technologies on the market. From the industry experts at Malco, this article dives into the benefits HVAC professionals can gain from having an open mind when it comes to new tech. Particularly, with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), now more than ever, they argue, is the time to utilize these breakthroughs to elevate their customer experience and job performance.  

Not only are our readers interested in technology and industry news, but they also were eager to learn about the ways to build community during these uncertain times. For many in the roofing industry, the current administration’s immigration policies have made the future quite uncertain for many roofers and construction professionals. Our most read article in June encourages industry professionals and leaders to advocate for their community.
