RoofingSpace.com is an online magazine focused towards members of the roofing industry.
Some parts of the site automatically update (videos, submitted articles, photos) and I’m working on more features. The articles I generally write a few times per week after keeping an eye on developments in the Roofing Industry. I have a fantasy that eventually a few other people may contribute articles.
For some reason I enjoy to track hail storms, local service businesses, and the internet… a perfect mix for taking interest in the roofing industry. If you or your company are taking part in the internet revolution, shoot me a message, I’ll post your content here.

The site was launched at the end of November 2009 and I work on it a few times per week. My goal is to have a fairly robust platform for information and media sharing by July 2010. Until then it’s going to be a mighty ugly mess 
Current Goals:
1) Populate the video area with 50 YouTube Roofing channels by adding them myself, then find a way to easily let others add their own. If you contact me I will make sure to get your channel added.
2) Now that photo uploads are possible we need to determine the best way to use them. Until there is activity on the site, I’m going for a really broad category approach. In the future, if there are many uploads, we could create categories for each roofing company, each type of roof, and so on. Must line out a few categories and seed them with donated/submitted content, linking back to the original owners site. Hopefully down the road a few people will showcase their work in the Photo Area. If not, it’ll look good enough with the stuff I force feed it by begging a few roofing companies to take pictures, lolz.
