a large part of a contractor’s day. At ABC Supply, we want to ensure that our customers have access to the digital tools that will provide high value and make it faster and easier for them to complete their work and win new jobs.” Now contractors bidding on new construction projects can speed up their bidding process and increase confidence in every bid by reducing the tedious manual work required to obtain measurements and produce estimates. With HOVER’s new construction solution, ABC Supply customers can simply upload any blueprint directly from their mobile device or computer and within hours receive accurate measurements for their project, as well as siding and roofing estimates. This capability removes the labor-intensive process of scaling off blueprint drawings and the need
for complex spreadsheets or specialized software. Additionally, HOVER transforms a 2D drawing into a full color 3D model, allowing contractors to inspire homeowners with a digital model showing the project in a variety of materials and colors. This capability also helps contractors bidding on new projects to include 3D visuals so their proposals stand out.

Tropical Roofing Products is Changing its Brand to TRP Roofing Products
Tropical Roofing Products (TRP), a national manufacturer of liquid roofing materials used to repair, maintain and restore a variety of roofing systems, has been in business for over 60 years. The company is based in the US and built its quality reputation in the asphaltic business and in recent years expanded that reputation for quality into elastomeric coatings and related repair products. For brevity, people have often referred to Tropical Roofing Products as TRP, so the branding change feels natural. In 2022, SOPREMA acquired TRP as part of its strategy to better provide for its customers’ MRO (maintenance, restoration and operations) needs for roofing and waterproofing solutions. TRP offers a full range of professional grade asphalt, acrylic and silicone roofing products, including roof cements, primers, adhesives and coatings that are designed to withstand the harshest climates and extreme weather conditions. These conditions are not, however, limited to southern, tropical areas, they also include extreme cold found in northern climates, providing the impetus for the company’s rebranding. While maintaining the legacy of the former name and logo, the brand has changed to TRP Roofing Products and the primary colors have changed to reflect the values and strengths that come with being a part of the SOPREMA group of companies.
