Celebrating Excellence: Empire Roofing Honoured with Five Elevate Awards

At Empire Roofing Corporation, we believe that every great roof starts with great people—and we’re proud to share that our people have been recognized in a big way.

We’re thrilled to announce that Empire has been awarded five prestigious honors from Holcim Elevate, a leading name in roofing and building envelope solutions. These awards reflect the consistency, integrity, and care our teams bring to every job site—no matter the size, scope, or challenge.

Our 2025 Elevate Awards:

Master Contractor Award
Recognizing the top 250 contractors across North America based on quality of work, number of jobs, product mix, and volume of warranted square footage.

President’s Club Award
Awarded to the top 25 Master Contractors who go above and beyond minimum requirements to deliver outstanding results.

Inner Circle of Quality
An elite distinction for maintaining a minimum of 2 million square feet of Elevate roofing under warranty—while exceeding expectations in project volume and quality inspection reviews.

SA Pro Award
Celebrating technical excellence in the installation of Elevate’s Self-Adhered roofing systems.

Excellence Award
Recognizing standout roofing projects—this year, Empire was acknowledged for a Community Service Project completed with donated time, labour, and materials.

These awards were accepted on behalf of Empire by Gautham Murralitharan, General Manager, and Ken Gascoigne, President, and were presented by Jake Gosa, Frank Palmer, Omar Rekkas, and Jean LeBeau of Holcim Elevate.

“This isn’t just recognition for completed projects—it’s a reflection of our people, our standards, and our shared belief in doing the job right,” said Ken. “We’re grateful to every crew member, foreman, service tech, and project lead who makes this work possible.”

At Empire, we don't just build roofs—we build long-term relationships through clarity, consistency, and craftsmanship. These awards serve as a reminder that when you prioritize people and process, excellence follows.
