This spooky season, AskARoofer™ readers enjoyed articles from an array of topics. One of our most popular reads this month showcased the talents of Philidelphia artist PJ Villot and Scott Tisdale of ST Roofing, who, together, came up with a roof mural to honor America’s favorite past time, baseball. The roof was decorated with red and blue, the colors of the city’s very own MLB team, the Phillies. Their project showcases the unique opportunities flat roofs can offer creative and out-of-the-box thinkers.  

Another popular read last month highlights a conversation with Ohio contractor, Ryan Lephart.
