Well, November has arrived, and you know what that means… Thanksgiving dinner, family gatherings, football, and one of America's favorite holiday traditions — the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!
And this year, there's something extra special to celebrate!
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is celebrating its 100th parade!
That's 100 parades filled with marching bands, enormous balloons, elaborate floats, and millions of spectators kicking off the holiday season.
Here's a fun little piece of history: The first parade was held in 1924, but the event took a three-year break during World War II. That makes 2026 the official 100th parade!
Soo…What in the world does a Thanksgiving parade in New York City have to do with commercial roofing in Southeast Texas? Well, we're glad you asked!
You've probably noticed all those buildings lining the streets of New York City along the parade route.
And what do a lot of those buildings have? Flat and low-slope roofs!
And while we're a long way from the streets of Manhattan, flat and low-slope roofing systems are something we know a thing or two about right here in Texas!
From shopping centers and office buildings to warehouses and other commercial properties, we help building owners take care of the roofs that protect their businesses.
Whether your building needs a small repair, routine maintenance, an inspection, or a complete roof replacement, we're always happy to help keep things covered!
