Traditional Wood Shake Roof's bring an elegant touch to many homes in Indiana. But after 30-40 years, they are due for replacement after being subject to heavy weather and wear. Last month we replaced the roof on a home in Marion, Indiana, replacing their Wood Shake Roof with an Owens Corning Duration Flex® Shingle. - Is your roof ready to be replaced?

This Week in Roofing History: Celebrating Roofers on Labor Day, 1905! This week, we honor the hardworking roofers who have been the backbone of the roofing industry for generations. Here's a remarkable glimpse into history: a photograph from Labor Day 1905 featuring Chicago's Gravel Composition Roofers Union. These men, proudly displaying their union banner, were part of the early labor movement that fought for fair wages, safer working conditions, and recognition of their skilled trade. Labor Day, established as a federal holiday in 1894, became a day to celebrate workers' contributions across the nation. For roofers in 1905, this meant marching in solidarity, showcasing their craft, and advocating for the rights and protections that many of us benefit from today. The image captures a sense of camaraderie and pride among the roofers, a spirit that continues to define the industry. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of unity and advocacy in the labor movement and roofers' vital role in shaping our cities and communities. As we reflect on this historic moment, let's appreciate the advancements we've made and continue to strive for better conditions and recognition for all workers in the roofing industry. Happy Labor Day to all the dedicated roofing professionals, past and present! #RoofingHistory #LaborDay1905 #UnionPride #RoofersUnion #ConstructionHistory #LaborMovement #HistoryOfRoofing
