18 | OSHA’S Record-Keeping and Reporting Requirements
OSHA recently expanded the list of severe injuries and illnesses that
employers must report. Here’s an overview of what every contractor
should know about what to file when.
22 | Field Study and Analytical Assessment of Sealed Attics
On the iPad
Sealed attics continue to pose potential dangers to homeowners and
liabilities to professional roofing contractors. FRSA, working with Oak
Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Florida College of
Engineering, continues the search for answers.

24 | Adding Ventilation, Profit and Customer Savings
Installing proper attic ventilation is a win-win. Homes are protected
against moisture and the mold and mildew growth it promotes. For
roofing professionals, it means a competitive edge and enhancing the
bottom line.

PRESIDENT’S COLUMN
Donnie Harp
Stepping into a Winning Year
Happy New Year to all! Here’s hoping everyone had a safe
and happy holiday season!
If you’re like me, you’ve already hit the ground running.
Having time off is wonderful, especially when you know that
when you return to work, there actually is work to do.
I’m extremely pleased with the newly revised look of
FRSA’s magazine, Florida Roofing, and look forward to hearing
from our readers and advertisers about the content, features
and editorial. My thanks to Karen Edwards, Chair of the Public
Relations and Marketing Committee and staff for taking on
this endeavor.
The January issue of the magazine is the Buyers Guide
issue. This is a great reference document to keep on hand
year-round when looking for products and services. For the
first time ever, we’ve limited listings to FRSA Associate members as a thanks for supporting us over the years.
Thanks to the advertisers who were on board with us as
we completed our redesign. It’s through your support that
we’re able to reach out to industry professionals and share
valuable information – most of which is specific to Florida. I
encourage readers to support our advertisers. They make so
much of what FRSA does as an Association possible.
My thanks to the FRSA Self Insurers Fund trustees for the
great dividend our company received in December! As a cost
of doing business, the state of Florida requires that everyone
have workers’ comp coverage and the cost for the roofing
code 5551 is the same across the board no matter where
you purchase your coverage. What isn’t the same are the
dividends distributed back to those who have workers’ comp
insurance through the SIF. In July and again in December, the
SIF trustees gave a total dividend distribution of $5.75 million
to their members. This certainly makes the rate paid per hour
of workers’ comp coverage more affordable. Kind of like getting a discount for playing by the rules.
As mentioned in previous columns, my theme for this year
is “Staying on Track for a Winning Future.” Convention posters
were mailed in December to all members and supply houses.
I ask that you display the posters in
a visible location in an effort to keep
contractors and other professionals
informed on the largest regional industry expo and convention. If you
need more posters, please contact
the FRSA offices (800-767-3772
ext. 100) and speak with Janette.
Speaking of the Florida Roofing
& Sheet Metal Expo – I’m pleased to
be able to report that we’re close to
being sold out, having approximately 50 booth spaces still available.
If you’re interested in exhibiting,
please contact Cheryl Sulock for
FRSA President Donnie Harp

FRSA LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
Cam Fentriss
Term Limits in the Real World
It may be a good time to reflect on the eight-year
term limits that were adopted in Florida in 1992 by a
constitutional amendment (i.e. adopted by Florida’s citizens, not the legislature).
Among the arguments in favor of term limits were
(and probably still are):
■■ Eliminate the buildup of power created by longterm office holders
■■ Eliminate or reduce the campaign advantage of incumbents so new people can have a better shot at
winning elections
■■ More regularly bring in new ideas and attitudes
These arguments sounded great then and they still
sound great to most voters. However, what was missing
in the discussion is what would be the downside of term
limits. Now that they have been in place for 23 years, we
have a much better idea of the good and the bad about
it all. The good:
■■ Term limits did in fact eliminate long lasting and
strong power held by individual legislators.
Now for the bad results of term limits:
■■ There is now very intense, sometimes vicious,
short-term power build up among a small number of
legislators who spend much time and energy fighting among themselves for leadership control. These
fights can be ugly, and any fighting takes away from
what is supposed to be the real objective: governing.
■■ The campaign advantage that once belonged to
individual politicians has shifted to legislative leadership, reducing improved chances for new people
to be elected, AND causing an enormous increase
in the amount of money needed to run a campaign
because of fierce competition, with or without leadership influence.
■■ At the end of eight years, many legislators shift their
campaign from the House to the Senate (or vice versa) and compete with other sitting legislators for a
limited number of seats. This defeats the purpose of
term limits. It also is just another way for legislators
to spend time and money fighting among themselves to stay in office.
of harm and wastes a lot of
time and money.
■■ The influence of heavy-hitting lobbyists has increased
dramatically and, with that,
there is little concern about
passing legislation that is
likely to hurt people because
the impact will likely not be
discovered and attributed to
any individual legislator until
after he or she is termed out.
It seems that, rather than
change government so that it is
more “for the people,” term limits have made it such that our politicians – even new
ones – have less reason to listen to us and more reason
to follow the wishes of leadership and a small handful
of lobbyists.

■■ One of the advantages of long-term legislators was
that they had heard most all of the bad ideas, so it
was harder for interest groups to waste everyone’s
time by continually bringing back trash legislation.
Now, there is almost a complete loss of memory on
bad legislation or past mistakes, so it is much easier
for special interest groups to convince new legislators to file and pass bad legislation. This causes a lot

OSHA’S Record-Keeping and Reporting Requirements
Most roofing contractors are familiar with OSHA’s
record-keeping and reporting requirements. Recently,
however, OSHA expanded the list of severe injuries and
illnesses that employers must report. This is a good opportunity for roofers to review their record-keeping and
reporting requirements.
What must be recorded?
summary must be certified
by a company executive. The
summary must be posted no
later than February 1 of the
following year and must remain in place until April 30.
The forms must be kept for
five years. During those five
years, employers must update
the 300 Log if any recordable injuries or illnesses are discovered
that were not previously recorded or if any changes occur in the
classification of the recorded
injuries and illnesses. The 301
Report and 300-A Summary are not required to be updated. Do not send copies of the forms to OSHA unless
asked to do so (note that there are current proposals
which would require the digital transmission of 300
Logs to OSHA on a regular basis).
Roofers with more than 10 employees must record
a new case of a work-related injury or illness if it (a)
results in any of the following: death, days away from
work, restricted work or transfer to another job, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness;
or (b) involves a significant injury or illness diagnosed by
a physician or other licensed health care professional.
The recording requirement applies to applicable injuries
or illnesses of all employees on payroll and any employees who are not on payroll but are supervised by the
employer on a day-to-day basis.
The injury or illness is a “new case” if the employee
has not previously experienced a recorded injury or illness of the same type affecting the same body part or What must be reported?

or injury or is not informed that it was the result of a
work-related incident until after the 8 hour or 24 hour
reporting deadline, the employer must make the report
within 8 or 24 hours (respectively) of being informed of
the illness or injury or learning that the illness or injury
was the result of a work-related incident.
Employers must report a fatality or inpatient hospitalization caused by a heart attack. The OSHA Area
Office director will decide whether to investigate the
event, depending on the circumstances of the heart
attack.
Employers must report a fatality, inpatient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye that results from
a motor vehicle accident in a construction work zone.
In contrast, employers do not have to report such if the
motor vehicle accident occurred on a public street or
highway that is not a construction work zone. Similarly,
employers do not have to report a fatality, inpatient
hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye that occurs on a commercial or public transportation system.
It is important to remember that if a fatality, inpatient
hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye occurs but
does not meet the reporting requirements, the employer is still required to record the illness or injury pursuant
to the recording requirements.
Employers must report to OSHA by either calling
OSHA’s free and confidential number at 1-800-321OSHA (6742), calling the nearest OSHA Area Office
during business hours, or completing the online form
on the OSHA website which is not currently available
but should be soon. If the Area Office is closed, leaving
a voicemail or sending a fax or email does not suffice;
instead, you must call either the 800 number or utilize
the online form.
In the first six months of the new reporting rule,
OSHA received more than 5,000 reports of work-related deaths, inpatient hospitalizations, amputations, and
losses of an eye. Around 40 percent of those reports led
to OSHA investigations. By staying apprised of OSHA’s
record-keeping and reporting requirements, roofing
contractors can maintain safe workplaces and lessen
the chance of an OSHA violation.

Field Study and Analytical Assessment
of Sealed Attics
FRSA Staff
The Florida Building Commission, Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, University of Florida College of Engineering
and FRSA are working together on a field study and analytical assessment of sealed attics in the State of Florida.
The study, headed by Dr. William (Bill) Miller, Research
Scientist, Energy and Transportation Science Division,
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN and
by Dr. David O. Prevatt, University of Florida, College
of Engineering, Engineering School of Sustainable
Infrastructure & Environment, Gainesville, FL will be focused on the effects of moisture on roof sheathing.
Background
Over the past decade, FRSA and other industry professionals have continued to hear about sealed attics
systems that were failing – some due to poor workmanship and others due to exposure to constant moisture
buildup in the roof sheathing.
Pro and con discussions have occupied many a code
and technical meeting, although actual proof of said
failures are hard to come by. Not because they don’t
exist, but because contractors fear being sued for the
damages as a result of the failures. Damaged and unsafe wood decking, mold, and respiratory issues were
just some of the concerns contractors faced.
Three years ago, FRSA invited Dr. Miller to attend
an FRSA Code and Technical Committee meeting to
discuss the damages contractors and other industry
professionals were facing. Dr. Miller, who had done
extensive research on sealed attic systems, delivered a
presentation outlining the results of his research.
This April, FRSA again invited Dr. Miller and Dr.
Forrest Masters, Associate Professor of Civil and Coastal
Engineering at UF to attend their Code and Technical
Committee meeting. Both professors were able to share
their findings on issues with sealed attic systems.
Dr. Miller and Mark Zehnal, CPRC, FRSA Director of
Technical Services, prepared a tentative proposal which
would allow ORNL and UF to work together and further
research on sealed attic exposures. Dr. Miller presented
the proposal to the Florida Building Commission (FBC)
who agreed to fund the majority of the research. Zehnal
then presented the proposal to the FRSA Educational
and Research Foundation, who agreed to fund the remaining $40,000 with matching funds coming from
the UF Earl Blank Endowment. Foundation Chair Mike
Silvers, CPRC had been working with UF staff to rewrite
the purpose of the UF endowment earnings, which will
now be used for roofing and sheet metal industry-specific research.
Currently
ORNL has developed an exclusive experimental and
analytical capability to measure and model the hygrothermal (the movement of heat and moisture through
buildings) dynamics of sealed, semi-conditioned attics.
Dr. Prevatt completed a study for the FBC on the effect
of moisture on the repetitive wetting and drying of roof
sheathing.
Working together, the ORNL/UF team will identify homes in Florida with sealed attics from which field
demonstrations will yield defensible data for further
formulation and benchmarking of a toolkit developed
by ORNL.
A year of field data is needed to justify a decision
for the continuation of work. If the work is deemed important, a continuing study using the computer toolkit
(developed by ORNL) will be further benchmarked and
exercised to show the FBC why some sealed attics work
and why others do not work well and incur moisture
buildup in the sheathing.
Objective
Cross-section of sealed attic showing placement of thermistors,
relative humidity sensors and moisture pins in demonstration
homes. Spray foam is applied to all interior surfaces of the attic.
22
FLORIDA ROOFING | JANUARY 2016
The goal of the project for Florida homes with
sealed attics is to setup four field demonstrations for
acquiring field data for homes in northern, central and
southern Florida. The project will focus on homes that
have the attic sheathing, gables, eaves and soffits sealed
using open-cell spray polyurethane foam (ocSPF) or
closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (ccSPF) insulations.
Attics sealed with blown fiber insulations will also be
considered in the study. The field data will be reduced
and used to assess the potential of moisture storage in
the foam which can lead to structural damage to the
sheathing and indoor relative humidity levels exceeding
prescription measures in the ASHRAE Standard 55.
Task – Setup and Complete One-Year Field
Study on Four Home Demonstrations
■■ Install mini-data logger in attic complete with instrument and internet connection.
A key goal of this study is to document the thermal
and hygrothermal performance of the sealed attics for
the purpose of improving the cost effectiveness, durability, moisture resistance and efficiency of home
construction. Results of the study will provide information for the Florida Building Commission to use in
strengthening the Florida building code.
The FRSA has provided additional funds to allow
the continuation of the field study past the end of the
current fiscal year (June 30) as set
by the FBC. Therefore, setup of the
demonstrations is funded primarily
by the FBC. However, a 6-month
extension of the field study is funded by the FRSA for acquiring and
reducing the field data. Blower
door, guarded blower door and
duct blaster tests will be conducted
on the selected homes to document whole house, attic-to-outside,
and living-to-attic air leakage as
well as total duct leakage. Portable
data loggers will be installed in the
sealed attics. The loggers will continuously measure air temperature
and relative humidity of the outdoor ambient, the indoor ambient
and the attic. The roof sheathing
temperature and humidity and roof
sheathing moisture content will
also be recorded continuously for
the study.

Adding Ventilation, Profit and Customer Savings
Mike Fulton, O’Hagin National Manager of Technical Training & Compliance
We've seen a renewed interest in proper attic ventilation in the past few years due to the enforcement
of the ventilation code and the energy code, failures in
sealed attic systems and the prospect of adding value
for the homeowner and increased profits for the roofing
contractor when doing a ventilation analysis on a reroof.
Upgrading to the current ventilation code is the key. In
addition to energy savings, lowering attic temperatures
can also extend the life of the underlayment materials
and asphalt shingles.
The ventilation code states "Enclosed attics and enclosed rafter spaces formed where ceilings are applied
directly to the underside of roof rafters shall have cross
ventilation for each separate space by ventilating openings protected against the entrance of rain or snow.”
FBC 1203.2 & FRC R806.
This is optimally achieved by having intake and exhaust ventilators in attic spaces where the distance
between the attic floor and the ridge is greater than 3
feet.
The Florida Building Code and the Florida Residential
Code allow the ventilation to be reduced from 1/150
to 1/300 by using ventilators at the intake and exhaust
positions to insure a good airflow and air changes in the
attic. This assumes a proper balance. The code refers
to net free vent area (NFVA) as the method of calculating ventilation in square inches. This works well as
long as the balanced system has the same type of airflow (and/or restrictions). Unfortunately, there are many
new soffit ventilating products being used today that
appear to have plenty of air hole/
spaces (slots and holes), however the restrictions of the intake
ventilators at the soffit can ultimately choke the system and
reduce the efficiency due to the
improper balance (see photo below and on page 26). The soffit
venting that seems to work the
best is a screen soffit rather than
aluminum or cement board products with small holes or slots.
Most exhaust ventilators on the
market today use screening that
promotes a higher airflow than Mike Fulton
the intake vents on the structure. This imbalance can
actually change the dynamics of the airflow in the attic where cooler air would be introduced through the
upper ventilators and actually force the hot air down
through the soffit venting. This has been proven with
smoke tests in attic spaces. Also the other part of the
equation is to have an uninterrupted/unrestricted airspace between the soffit vent and the actual attic space
itself. This can be achieved with the use of baffles. It can
also be choked in situations where people have added
additional "blown in insulation" where the airspace between the attic and soffit vents are actually closed or
clogged. Inspections of these can be somewhat difficult and usually not required and/or performed by the
roofing contractor at the estimating phase, but could be
an additional money maker and energy saver for the homeowner. By
reducing the air temp in the attic,
heat transfer to the air conditioning ducts (usually an R-4 to an R-8
value) can be reduced. It has been
reported by homeowners and independent tests that energy costs
may be reduced by 10-20 percent,
when attic temps are reduced by
20-25 percent.
Homes have become tighter and
therefore have exposed new issues
where ventilation is not used properly. Over the years various builders
have circumvented the intent of the
code and found loopholes that allow
them to eliminate exhaust venting. The 1/150 rule has been used
where it probably shouldn't have
been. This allows only soffit venting and does not allow adequate

25
airflow to all rafter/truss spaces as
intended. The heat build up in these
attics is enormous.
As energy costs in these structures soared, the door opened for
sealed attic systems. These achieve
lower energy costs by reducing AC
duct heat transfer like the venting
“scenarios” described above.
Sealed attics have become very
popular in the past few years, seemingly saving homeowners money on
their energy bills, but the jury is still
out. Unfortunately, there have been
several incidents where undetectable roof leaks have caused severe
damage to roofing systems and ultimately structural damage. These
are worst case where there is moisture/water buildup (trapped) at the
trusses and decking.
Reports and analyses from Dr.
William Miller at Oak Ridge National
Laboratories have shown extremely high humidity in attic spaces where spray foam insulation is used, living
spaces and/or humidity to be forced into living spaces
where insulation is not used on the attic floor. This may
have long term consequences and further studies are
being performed.
There are a few things we do know: One, if the attic
temperature is lowered, heat transfer from the attic to
the air-conditioning ducts is reduced, therefore saving
the homeowner upwards of 20 percent of their energy
bill during the months of the year when air-conditioners
run constantly. Two, the movement of air in the attic
helps to eliminate the formation of any mold that might
form in an attic where air does not move or moves very
slowly. And Three, a lower attic temperature can extend
the life of the roof covering.
Attics using radiant barriers however appear to have
benefit by allowing the heated attic space between the
barrier and the deck to be evacuated through venting.
In summary, attic ventilation done properly has proven to be an excellent method of keeping attics cooler,
reducing heat transfer to AC ducts in the attic space,
extending life of underlayments and other roofing components, and reducing mold. However, it must be done
correctly. Most ventilation manufacturers not only offer
online calculators, but calculation analysis and technical
support. Feel free to contact them.
Can you increase your
profits by value adding attic ventilation to your next
roofing contract? We think
so.

Each year, the FRSA Educational Foundation seeks to
create and present industry specific courses that not only educate, but engage the contractor in changes that affect their
livelihood. Often these courses are code-based and involve
changes to the previous code cycle.

As FRSA’s technical staff person, it’s up to me to create
these courses and disseminate the information in the best
way possible, making sure that the course material is understood by contractors and building inspectors alike. The goal is
to have everyone on the same page.
The Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) regulates the courses and continuing education credit units (CEUs)
a contractor is required to have every two years. This helps
ensure that contractors stay up-to-date with what’s new in
our industry.
The law mandates the required hours per annum to maintain the certification. For related contractor, inspector and
home inspector licensing continuing education content requirements, please review the following.
Contractors (CILB) continuing education requirements:
Even Numbered Years
14-hours of board-approved continuing education are
required each biennium prior to the renewal period for both
certified and registered contractors. Contractors are required
to have at least one hour of each of the following: workplace
safety, workers’ compensation, business practices, laws and
rules, wind mitigation methods and one hour on Florida Building
Code advanced modules. The remaining eight hours that are
required are general credit hours and should be used for higher
education. Consider taking another safety or advanced course
and earn general credit hours for excess hours (just be careful
not to take the same course in a two-year period).

Building Code Administrators and Inspectors Board
(BCAIB) continuing education requirements: Odd Numbered
Years
License holders must complete 14-hours of continuing education during each biennium prior to the renewal date. Of
the 14 required hours, a minimum of two hours must be in the
area of accessibility, two hours in the area of Florida law and
rules and a minimum of one hour in the area of ethics.
Home Inspectors Licensing Program (HILP) continuing education requirements: Even Numbered Years
14-hours of board-approved continuing education is required each biennium prior to the renewal period. At least
two hours must be in wind mitigation for home inspectors.
For more specific licensing information please visit the
Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation
website at http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/
Even though my CILB contractor licenses are inactive I still
choose to attend classes each year so I won’t have to make
up continuing education credits if I ever decide to reactive
any of them. In 2012, Governor Scott approved changes for
BCAIB and CILB licensees activating an inactive or delinquent license, requiring licensees to complete the continuing
education requirements for the renewal cycle immediately
preceding license reactivation.
I’ve had many licenses and I’m happy that some of the
course credits are interchangeable between continuing education requirements of the different board certifications. This
certainly makes it easier to take some of the required courses.
I’d like to share a proverb my father-in-law passed on to
me and maybe you already know this one. Some years ago
he was a junior high school teacher in South Florida. His job
was to keep adolescent students interested in reading, writing
and arithmetic. Think back to when you were in junior high. I
think we would all agree that would be a tough crowd to keep
on track for nine months. When it comes to teaching he told
me to remember, “It’s not what’s been taught, it’s what’s been
caught.” Figure out what you want them to learn. That’s how I
try to look at continuing education classes.
The FRSA director of technical services carries many other
titles such as teacher, educator, or instructor, take your pick.
Although I find this aspect of my job rewarding, sometimes this
task can be intimidating as you try and incorporate as much
pertinent information as possible into a two- or three-hour
seminar. Attendees are often overwhelmed with information,
data and handouts distributed during a seminar. How can you
ensure that attendees are getting the information they need?
Are they following along? Are they asking questions when
they’re confused?
Although more often than not the information presented
during continuing education courses is the retelling of current
or past information, I find there is always a nugget of knowledge to be gained. And, hard as we may try to liven up a topic,
there are some subjects that by their nature are just boring.
Our challenge as instructors and students alike is to focus on
what is important to the topic being discussed and make that
our emphasis. Not always easy, I know.
As a reminder, the FRSA will track your continuing education credit hours for you, if they are taken through the
Educational Foundation.

FRSA Shining Star Award
In 2013, FRSA held the first annual S.T.A.R. Awards –
the Spotlight Trophy for the Advancement of Roofing – an
event highlighting industry projects throughout Florida.
Under the leadership of then president-elect Rob
Springer, CPRC, FRSA’s Convention Committee established categories and project criteria, submission and
judging guidelines, and promotional material. The first
S.T.A.R. Award presentation took place during the 2013
Convention and Expo.
FRSA leadership expected interest in the S.T.A.R.
Awards to gradually grow, but were astonished with the
results for the first year, not only in terms of submissions,
but in the number of attendees who attended the S.T.A.R.
Awards dinner.
FRSA members submitted their roofing projects completed during the previous year, along with an application
detailing the project, and in-progress and completion
photos for placement in one of six categories.
Project submission required a description including
tear-off (if applicable), preparation, design work, installation, problem solving and any other information
that might be unique to the job, such as safety requirements or field fabrication.
Categories for submission included: Sustainable,
Community Service, Steep Slope, Low Slope, Specialty
Metal, and Unique.
A panel of three industry professionals was established to review the submitted projects. Judging
criteria included, but was not limited to: aesthetics,
size, completion time, special circumstances, unique
project design, complexity of project, workmanship,
teamwork, testimonials, and creative problem solving.
The judges selected three projects in each of the six
categories to receive either first, second or third place
S.T.A.R. Awards.
In 2015, the Convention Committee added a new category to recognize one overall outstanding project to receive
the Shining Star Award, which recognizes the best overall
roofing project of all the S.T.A.R. Award submissions.
The award was given to Advanced Roofing Inc., Fort
Lauderdale, owner Rob Kornahrens, for their Frost School
of Music at the University of Miami project. The project
team members are:
Estimator: Clint Sockman
Project Managers: Jessica Kornahrens, Paul Burns
Superintendent: David Baytosh, Tom Mahon

And, the project’s MVP, David Baytosh, Superintendent.
Designed by award-winning architects Yann Weymouth
and HOK, and constructed by Skanska USA, the University
of Miami’s (UM) new Frost School of Music facility boasts
two buildings with 41,089 square feet of upscale teaching
spaces and beautiful curb appeal. Located on UM’s Coral
Gables campus, the Patricia Louise Frost Music Studios –
with triangle-shaped energy efficient windows and solar
arrays – is the first LEED® Platinum certified building project in the City of Coral Gables.
In 2014, Skanska USA, the project’s General Contractor,
awarded roofing, waterproofing, and solar project scopes
to Advanced Roofing, Inc. (ARI), which is a Siplast approved
installer with the in-house capabilities for the project.
Working on a new construction building on an active
university campus created several challenges, including
stringent safety measures, exacting production coordination, and meeting the contractor’s requirement on a project
registered for the LEED Green Building Rating System.
Safety requirements from Skanska and ARI’s in-house
safety procedures were demanding. Production scheduling
with so many trades on-site meant a high level of coordination and organization was needed, especially working
alongside electrical contractors for the rooftop solar energy
system. ARI’s role in assisting with LEED Platinum certification of the building included the following sustainable
design features: rooftop solar array, Siplast mod-bit roof
system with Eco Active cap sheet to help reduce pollution,
and Siplast waterproofing system with raised pavers.
Congratulations to the team from Advanced Roofing
Inc. on winning the Shining Star Award! You’ve certainly
set the bar high for the 2016 S.T.A.R. Awards participants!
As a reminder, the deadline for submission for the 2016
awards is May 2. To view more pictures of all award winning

MEMBER PROFILE
Adam Purdy, CPRC
President, Edwards Roofing Co., Inc., Pensacola
Adam currently serves as chair for the FRSA Membership
Committee, as a member of the Codes & Regulatory
Compliance Committee, the Governmental Affairs
Committee, the Young Professionals Council, as a Trustee
on the Educational & Research Foundation and the
Endowment Board of Governors, the Worker Training
Subcommittee and as a director on FRSA’s Board.
How did you get started in the roofing industry?
I started working at Edwards the summer before I went to
college. I always spent time each summer in Florida visiting
my family and as soon as I was old enough, my uncle, Bob
Purdy, put me to work. I am now the 4th generation owner
of Edwards Roofing Co., Inc. that was established in 1935.
What’s your favorite part of the job?
I really have two things that come to my mind when asked
this question: 1) The people in this industry, and 2) being
able to provide a solution for clients that actually helps
them and is something they need.
What’s the most unusual roofing project that you’ve
been a part of?
The most unusual project I can remember is installing a
roof on a building that was inside of another building. The
owner had concerns of interior water lines bursting and
therefore built another structure inside the main building
and had us install another roof over the offices. Most of our
work is really pretty normal and boring, thank goodness!
What do you consider a waste of time?
Jobsite schedule meetings for General Contractors. You
sit there for two hours listening to each subcontractor lie
about completion times to the GC; a complete waste of
time.

What’s your favorite vacation?
My favorite vacation has been going on the Disney Cruise
with my family. Great accommodations, food, entertainment and NO cooking or cleaning!
What would be your dream job?
I think I would love to design and build boats.
If you could spend time with three people (living or not),
who would they be and why?
Jesus, that’s a given. Lewis and Clark (I know its two people, but you can’t split them up), I would love to hear the
adventure stories from them. John Bogle, the founder of
Vanguard.
What do you personally find most rewarding about
being involved with FRSA?
The relationships that I have built over the years. The people in this industry, especially the members and employees
of FRSA, are top notch people that I have gained incredible knowledge from. I have gained so much more from
FRSA than I believe I will ever be able to contribute back
to the Association. Also, the dividends from the FRSA-SIF
are nice as well!
What advice would you give to someone interested in
joining the roofing industry?
I would tell them that the roofing industry is an incredible
industry that will NEVER go away, people cannot go without a roof. Join the FRSA and get involved in the industry,
and finally, that the Panhandle is a terrible place to start a
roofing company so go somewhere else.
What would surprise others to learn about you?
Tracy and I adopted our 7-year-old son George when he
was 4 years old and by the time you read this, we will have
given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
