In this Roofing Road Trips® episode, Heidi J. Ellsworth sits down with Morgan Cathey from ReadySlate to explore how contractor feedback shaped their latest product innovations. From shortening panel lengths for easier handling to replacing asphalt with a more durable, plastic-like backing, ReadySlate refined every detail with installer experience in mind. By staying closely connected to the field, they enhanced performance in areas like heat resistance, wind-driven rain protection and slate adhesion — resulting in a product that’s more intuitive, efficient and resilient. Listen in as they share how collaboration with contractors not only drove improvements but helped shape a forward-thinking slate system built for real jobsite demands.
