Roofing Channel LIVE!

Tonight (Wednesday June 2, 2008) we will be testing the Roofing Channel LIVE! video broadcast channel.

If you are interested in joining in, you will need to be a National Roof Group member in order to talk in the chat room. Members can type in the chat and ask questions while we are live, and we’ll do our best to get your roofing questions answered.

Members must log into the forum, and click NRG Chat. Once you get into the chat room, select The Roofing Channel chatroom. We recommend that you have a browser open for the Live! feed, and also the chat room so that you can participate in both at the same time.

We’ve got some great interviews coming in the near future, so be sure to check the schedule on the NRG Member site.

Hope to see you guys tonight!

Have you seen what's on The Roofing Channel?

The Roofing Channel is National Roof Group’s video resource for Roofing Contractors. We are currently taping project profiles, contractor profiles, industry news, tool reviews and much more.

The Roofing Channel video player is extremely easy to use, with tips all over the page. Take your time and play around to see all the options you have.

Have news the roofing industry should know about? Click on the “about us” page and let us know. We are always looking for new content to add.

Coming Soon from The Roofing Channel: A Project Profile featuring Chopped Fiberglass Asphalt Emulsion, and also another on a TPO installation.

How does a website help your Roofing Company

Whether you like to admit it or not, your customers are searching for Roofing Contractors on the internet. And if you don’t have a site, you’ve taken your company out of the equation altogether. Websites are the best way to get your message across to your customers on a mass scale, and the prices have fallen a great deal over the last decade.

As NRG’s Membership continues to grow, we have noticed that an overwhelming majority of our contractor members still don’t have a website. We, at National Roof Group, believe it is so important for you to have a website to promote your company, we are helping you every step of the way.

Roofwebs.com is devoted to NRG Members and making their websites a reality. We offer some of the best rates anywhere on web hosting, design, and ongoing support. You will find that we truly make it easy to get your site up and running. In addition, you will get a real website, (not just a page with your company information,) real company email accounts, and hosting for a full year.

We know you’ve been meaning to do it for years, but there is no reason to put it off any longer. We will make it extremely easy for you, and you can have whatever level of involvement you would like. For more information, go to RoofWebs.com.

More Information about National Roof Group

National Roof Group was founded with the belief that roofing contractors should have as many resources available as possible to help them succeed. And we believe that we should give it to our members at no cost! Remember, you will never be charged a membership fee for your involvement with NRG, and you should feel confident that we are here to help you in any way possible.

Within the NRG member sites you’ll find a ton of information to make your roofing company a more effective and efficient business model. We have newsletters, articles, videos, interactive roofing forums, and much more.

Member Discounts:

Our Vendor Members discount their products and services to you, so that your dollars go farther and your bottom line is better. If we combine our buying power and knowledge as a group, we benefit everyone involved. Manufacturers benefit by selling more product, and the members benefit by getting better pricing and increased profits.

Business Information:

You gain access to some of the most brilliant business minds in the industry. They give tips on marketing, advertising, and running your company. We’ll introduce you to new roofing systems and how to get started installing them, and a great deal more.

You choose your level of involvement:

While we would love for you to get involved at whatever level you have time for, you are not required to do anything. We make it as easy on you as possible and understand that your time is your own. Just remember, the more time you spend within the NRG Sites, the more you will learn, so get involved!

Take some time to look around and see all that we have to offer and we think you’ll be surprised at what you find.

More about the National Roof Group Roofing Forum

We know what you’re thinking: Roofing Forums are unfriendly, hotbeds of testosterone.

NOT AT NRG!

The National Roof Group Member forum is one of the most helpful roofing forums on the internet. It’s a place where people genuinely care about the other members, and do whatever it takes to help. You don’t have to gain respect within our group, you simply have to show up. It shows a willingness to get involved and help others, and that goes a long way to increase the responses of others.

When the NRG Forum was constructed, we dictated rules that have allowed it to become a friendly place where you can get an honest answer, and more importantly, there are no stupid questions. It’s an environment where everyone understands that the collective intelligence is the most important ideal, and our forum thrives because of it.

If you have a question or thought that you would like to share with other contractors from around the world, stop by and let us know. You do not have to fear being “bashed” and you will enjoy the sense of brotherhood as you forge relationships with other members. Remember, the NRG Forum is completely locked down, so only our members can read what you write!

We don’t just talk about Roofing!

Yes, we have a roofing forum, but also there is a great deal more. With other forums for “Off-topic” discussions, we tell jokes, talk about our families and hobbies, as well as the world in general.

What Else Can You Do?

** Use the forum as a sounding board: Ask other contractors about their experiences with certain roofing types.

** Upload pictures and ask opinions on how other roofers would solve a problem.

** Show off your work: We love to see your installations, so show ‘em off!

** Upload your contracts: Need advice on your contract language? Show it to us!

** Read our Member Blogs: Several members like to write blogs about their experiences
within the roofing industry. Read to learn more, or write your own to share!

** Play Games in the Arcade: We’ve got a friendly but competitive race to be #1 in the
arcade!

** NRG LIVE Chat: Want to talk in real-time instead of waiting for responses? Check out
the NRG Forum Live Chat function. We have several “rooms” that you can chat in
and get answers fast and easy.

Look, at the very least, stop by and say Hello… you’ll be glad you did! And remember, the only way to gain access to the NRG Forum is to sign up for your free contractor membership at The NRG Member Site:

Your Membership to National Roof Group

So you might be asking yourself, how can they afford to offer contractor memberships at no cost?!? Well, that is the question that we are asked most.

The truth is that we are hoping to pay for all of these resources by allowing roofing manufacturers (Vendor members) to advertise on our sites without diluting the content. The ads will never be intrusive, and it is one of the most important things that we are working on. A friendly, easy to use environment where you can learn, and will continue to visit.
