About Us

RoofersCoffeeShop®, the award-winning website
where the industry meets for technology, information
and everyday business, announces a new website for
the industry, CoatingsCoffeeShop™.

Offering the same resources as RoofersCoffeeShop (RCS) and MetalCoffeeShop (MCS), the new site will focus on
all things related to roof coatings. CoatingsCoffeeShop
offers a one-of-a-kind educational, informational and
community experience for contractors and the coatings industry — brought to you by Apoc.

This new Coffee Shop delivers the same industry-leading content wholly focused on coatings while creating a unique online community for coatings professionals overall.  

In conjunction with APOC, leading coatings product and service providers will share information for coatings-focused contractors on new products, initiatives and services that improve the industry. With a focus on providing education for the growth and success of coatings contractors, the site offers thought leadership for ongoing business success. Supported by coatings-focused social media and eNews, CoatingsCoffeeShop is opening a brand-new opportunity to build community, business and networking for coatings contractors.
