JM Roofing Institute™ — Better Roofing Through Education
As low-slope roof technology, materials and performance demands evolve, it is important to keep up with new materials and technologies. Johns Manville has developed an education and development initiative that builds on over 150 years of experience in commercial/industrial roofing.
Practical Knowledge To Improve Business
Open exclusively to our Peak Advantage Program members, JM Roofing Institute courses are designed to provide practical experience that will enhance day-to-day operations. We provide hands-on experience to improve roofing installation techniques and good work practices. Classroom sessions extend beyond installation procedures to address business issues such as improving productivity.
