~ Standout projects and roofers to be spotlighted throughout the week ~
[Toronto, ON – June 3, 2025] – As the roofing industry celebrates International Roofing Week (June 1–7, 2025), recognizing the value of roofing and hardworking roofing professionals who continue to move this essential industry forward, IKO is revisiting one of its most meaningful events: the IKO ROOFPRO VIP Getaway, held last December in the Bahamas.
The event brought together residential roofing contractors from across the U.S. and Canada to connect, share their stories, and celebrate their impact on the industry and their communities. This initiative was created to recognize top-performing contractors from each region.
“International Roofing Week is a great opportunity to pause and appreciate the people who make roofing amazing,” said Jack Gottesman, Marketing Services and Loyalty Program Group Director at IKO, North America. “That’s why we’re excited to spotlight this year’s Craftsman Premier Award winners. These aren’t just business wins—they’re a reflection of the hustle, growth, and passion our ROOFPROs bring to the roofing game every day.”
Peak Performance Award winners were recognized for the outstanding volume of IKO shingles purchases in the previous year.
- Apple Roofing (Lincoln, NE) – U.S. Winner
