SRS Distribution is leveling up their digital contractor platform just in time for the busy construction season!  

For today’s contractors, efficient digital workflows are no longer optional — they are essential to staying competitive and operating at scale. That need originally led SRS Distribution to develop Roof Hub — removing friction from how contractors estimate order and keep jobs moving. Now, with a newly released refresh, Roof Hub is taking that experience even further. 

At the center of the update is a redesigned dashboard and streamlined navigation — built to make everyday tasks faster, simpler and more intuitive, while creating the foundation to bring even more powerful features into Roof Hub, such as:  

• Enhanced dashboard and navigation: A cleaner layout helps contractors quickly access the tools they use most.  
• Global product search: Find products instantly from anywhere in Roof Hub. No more jumping between screens. Start a new order, template or estimate from one convenient place now paired with one-page ordering to reduce clicks and speed up the entire process. 

These updates are designed with a clear goal in mind: fewer clicks, less time navigating and more time focused on the job. Enhancements like smart templates, custom measurements and integrated quotes continue to simplify how contractors build, manage and reuse their workflows. 

While the refresh introduces meaningful improvements, it was intentionally designed to feel familiar. Core functionality including pricing, saved templates and order workflow remains unchanged. Instead of disrupting how contractors work, SRS focused on removing friction and accelerating speed so users can move faster without having to relearn the platform. 

Log in today and experience the refresh for yourself. Because at the end of the day, your workflow didn’t change — it just got faster.

Como Roof Hub está ayudando a los contratistas a organizar mejor sus proyectos de techado. 

En un Almuerzo y Aprendizaje, Jessica Bravo y Julian Fontanillas de SRS Distribution comparten como la plataforma Roof Hub está cambiando la manera en que los contratistas gestionan sus proyectos de techado. Julian forma parte del equipo de ventas digitales y plataformas de integración dentro de Roof Hub, SRS Distribution. Con casi nueve estados bajo su responsabilidad y más de 14 años de experiencia trabajando con SRS Distribution, aporta una perspectiva práctica sobre cómo la tecnología puede hacer más eficientes las operaciones diarias de los contratistas. 

 Durante la conversación, explica cómo la plataforma ayuda a organizar pedidos, coordinar entregas y mantener un mejor control sobre los cronogramas de trabajo. “Roof Hub es una herramienta que permite a los contratistas ver todo su calendario de órdenes en un solo lugar, tanto las actuales como las futuras, lo que facilita la organización de cada proyecto,” comenta Julian. Roof Hub no solo funciona como una plataforma para ordenar materiales. La plataforma también se integra con herramientas populares de la industria como Eagleview, Hover, JobNimbus, Giddyup, Acculynx y GAF QuickMeasure, entre otras, lo que permite conectar estimaciones, mediciones de techos y gestión de proyectos directamente con los pedidos de materiales.  

Uno de los puntos que más destaca Julian es que Roof Hub está disponible sin costo para los clientes de SRS Distribution. A través de la plataforma, los contratistas pueden programar órdenes de materiales y visualizar cuando estarán listas para entrega o recogida. Según explica, aunque es posible programar órdenes con mucha anticipación, recomienda mantener una ventana de una a dos semanas. “Lo ideal es agendar los pedidos entre una y dos semanas antes, porque así también se puede asegurar los precios de los productos,” señala. 

Además, la plataforma ofrece un calendario completo donde se pueden revisar las órdenes programadas, lo que ayuda a los contratistas a mantener una mejor planificación de sus proyectos. Otro beneficio importante de Roof Hub es la capacidad de seguir las entregas en tiempo real. La plataforma está conectada directamente con sistemas de rastreo que permiten conocer la ubicación de cada pedido y estimar con mayor precisión la hora de llegada. “Los contratistas pueden ver dónde está su entrega en tiempo real, lo que reduce la incertidumbre y mejora la coordinación en el lugar de trabajo,” explica Julian. 

Al momento de cada entrega, el equipo también toma fotografías de la mercancía para verificar que todo llegue en buen estado. Si algún producto presenta daños o irregularidades, esas imágenes sirven como evidencia para comunicar la situación tanto al contratista como al propietario del proyecto. Esto se vuelve especialmente útil cuando hay materiales que ya estaban dañados antes de la entrega o cuando es necesario documentar reemplazos. 

Roof Hub también facilita el proceso de hacer pedidos de materiales. Los contratistas pueden realizarlos directamente en línea o comunicarse con su distribuidor con algunas horas de anticipación para que la orden esté lista al momento de recogerla. “Tenemos muchas maneras de ayudar a los contratistas a hacer su trabajo más eficiente, dependiendo de cómo prefieran manejar sus pedidos,” comenta Julian. 

Para la comunidad latina en la industria del roofing, Roof Hub también ofrece la opción de navegar la plataforma en español. Aunque Julian reconoce que aún hay secciones que siguen en proceso de traducción, el equipo continúa trabajando para mejorar la experiencia. Además, dentro de la plataforma los usuarios pueden acceder al Programa de Lealtad de SRS, que permite obtener recompensas por compras de productos participantes. Julian invita a los contratistas que necesiten apoyo a contactarlo directamente para recibir entrenamiento sobre cómo navegar la plataforma. “Si alguien necesita ayuda para aprender a usar Roof Hub, con gusto podemos ofrecer entrenamientos o seminarios, porque queremos que los contratistas aprovechen todas las herramientas disponibles,” concluye. 

A medida que la industria del roofing continúa adoptando nuevas tecnologías, herramientas como Roof Hub buscan simplificar procesos que tradicionalmente han sido complejos y demandantes. Para Julian, el objetivo es claro: ayudar a los profesionales de la industria a trabajar de manera más eficiente y con menos incertidumbre en su día a día.

How SRS and TopShield support contractors with the TopSpec fluid-applied roof systems. 

The coatings and fluid-applied roofing market is rapidly growing as building owners and managers look for more sustainable and economical solutions to aging roofs. This makes it an attractive opportunity for roofing contractors who are looking for ways to expand their offerings and grow their businesses. But from primers to topcoats and digital tools to on-site application training, there’s a lot to learn about the market before you can start restoring roofs with coatings. In an upcoming CoatingsTalk, Heidi J. Ellsworth sits down with Rick Rominger of SRS Distribution to explore the ways contractors can get the support they need to expand into coatings and the types of systems out there. 

Rick is the senior director of private label for SRS and brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, including business development, global supply chain management, new product development, market launch strategies and competitive pricing analysis. In this episode, we lean on his expertise through discussions of the support contractors can get from SRS and RoofHub when they use TopShield's TopSpec coatings. This support comes in many forms including access to knowledgeable reps with installation expertise, streamlined project management through mobile RoofHub interface and easy material sourcing.  

Further, Rick will dive into a few of the different products that are provided in the TopSpec line, including their 501 Bonding Primer, 509 Bleed-Block, 701 silicone coating and 2100 acrylic topcoat. Not only will he share the benefits of each of these products as individuals, but he will also explain how these products work together to create a fluid-applied system that allows for seamless, high-performance solutions customized per roof type.  

If you are looking to learn more about fluid-applied and coating roof systems, make sure to tune into this episode of CoatingsTalk, airing on January 29, 2026.

SRS Distribution announces the launch of Property Reports and Homeowner Profiles in Roof Hub. 

In sales, knowing the needs of your customer base is an invaluable asset to closing a deal. As chief marketing officer for PandaDoc, Nate Gilmore shares, “The first rule in sales and marketing is to know your customers’ needs and expectations. This includes a thorough understanding of why they should consider your product in the first place.” To successfully capture customer attention, he recommends building an in-depth customer profile.  

What is a customer profile?  

A customer profile is a description of the clients you serve or want to serve. It contains information about their interests, demographics and any other details that might help you better understand how to engage with them. In the world of roofing, a good customer profile also includes information about their property and roof, such as age and material.  

Get started with Roof Hub 

If you’re a contractor looking to level up your sales strategies by using customer profiles, a great way to get started is with Roof Hub! The company just announced that Property Reports and Homeowner Profiles will now exist in the Roof Hub platform, which were previously only available in SRS Distribution’s ProFund. 

The details: 

• Property Reports are client-facing and showcase information and specs that will help you talk to the client about their roof.  
• Homeowner Profiles are contractor-facing and are included in every property report. These profiles give users powerful insights into buyer personas that help guide the closing and upselling process.  

The best part? Every Roof Hub account will receive three (3) complimentary reports to get started! After that, each report will only be $9.95, a great deal for the mind-reading insights and key data that comes with the reports. 

Check out Roof Hub today to get started.

Looking back at the last month at The Coffee Shops™! 

Construction season is in full swing with the long summer days and better weather. Here at The Coffee Shops™ we have also been busy this last month!  

One of our most-read articles from July 2025 came from Dani Sheehan and focused on how changes to federal programs granting temporary legal status and work authorization affect the roofing industry. In her article, she highlights that the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) and other allied business associations sent an official letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) asking for clear guidance and a transition period to help businesses comply with these changes. She explained, “As this letter to DHS underscores, employers and employees need time and clarity to ensure they are following the law properly. As the rules shift, it’s critical that business owners anticipate coming changes to remain compliant and to protect the skilled workers who help keep your company running.” 

There has also been a lot of talk about customizing your technological tools to work better for your company. Jesse Sanchez wrote one article about a MetalTalk with Dave Chapman from Estimating Edge about the importance of tech stacks while Emma Peterson wrote about tech in terms of SRS Distribution’s Roof Hub program. 

Another trend we’ve seen in the last month is a continuing emphasis on training and partnerships. Our list features multiple articles about these topics, including an article about how Tremco Roofing is bringing training to contractors and one about how partnering with manufacturers like Commercial Distribution Specialists (CDS) can boost your bottom line!
