The RCAW Regional Trade Show brought together contractors, manufacturers and suppliers for a day of learning, engagement and collaboration. 

Despite snowy conditions outside the Muckleshoot Casino, energy remained high inside as roofing and construction professionals gathered for the Roofing Contractors Association of Washington (RCAW) Regional Trade Show that took place earlier this spring. 

For Emerson Pagel, branch manager at ABC Supply in Kent, Washington, and a first-year member of the RCAW Board of Directors, the event represented months of planning and collaboration aimed at delivering valuable education and networking opportunities for industry professionals. “It has just been an absolute blast,” Emerson expressed.  

The annual event featured a diverse lineup of educational sessions in both English and Spanish, along with dozens of exhibitors representing roofing, windows and other construction-related sectors. According to Emerson, organizing the event required extensive coordination among presenters, vendors and association volunteers. “Behind the scenes, it’s been a lot of work trying to track down members that are interested in presenting and teaching, tracking down our vendors for the show,” he said. “We have over 45 to 50 vendors here.” 

The effort paid off, as Emerson described attendees as responding positively to the variety of educational offerings, including certification opportunities, safety training, insurance supplementation and branding strategies. “I’m hearing a lot of very good things, a lot of great feedback about the show,” Emerson shared. “They love getting to have options to get certified in safety, learning about insurance supplementation, how to build a brand.” 

Beyond education, Emerson emphasized the importance of industry associations in creating opportunities for professional growth and meaningful connections. He encouraged contractors who have not yet joined an association to become involved and engage with their local industry community. “Everything we do is community,” he said. “The roofing industry specifically, and the construction along with it. We’re not here to change the world, but we’re here to change someone’s world.”

Learn how a longtime equipment supplier is expanding its services and product offerings to better support contractors in the field and at the shop. 

At regional trade shows, contractors are not just comparing products; they are searching for ways to reduce friction in their daily operations. That focus was evident at the Roofing Contractors Association of Washington (RCAW) trade show, where Steve Garlock Equipment used its presence to highlight a broader, more service-driven approach under new ownership. Katee Williams, who purchased the company in August, said the priority is to build on an established reputation while clarifying the full scope of what the business can offer. “We’re here to get the word out of what we carry and a lot of people know us as a Leister distributor,” Katee said. “We also repair the Leister equipment and so we really want people to know what else we carry and what other services we could provide for them.” 

That message reflects a deliberate shift from recognition to understanding. While the company has long been associated with specific equipment lines, its capabilities extend beyond distribution and repair. Founded in 1997 by Steve Garlock, the business built its foundation serving commercial contractors with equipment, maintenance services and essential jobsite tools. Under new ownership, that foundation is being expanded rather than replaced. 

Katee said the company is broadening its reach to include both commercial and residential contractors, with an increased focus on every day jobsite needs. The growing inventory includes safety equipment, ropes, harnesses and tarps; items crews depend on consistently but often source through multiple channels. 

To address that inefficiency, the company is placing greater emphasis on access and delivery. By supplying materials directly to contractor shops, the goal is to simplify procurement and give crews immediate access to the tools they use most. Katee stated, “If we can streamline that for people and they can have it right there at their shop, I think that would make it a lot easier.” 

The expansion also includes new product categories and service capabilities. Compressors have been added to the lineup, and the company is working to certify a technician to service generators, extending its support beyond traditional offerings. 

As the show continues, Katee said the focus remains consistently to strengthen connections with contractors while demonstrating how expanded services can improve efficiency both in the field and at the shop.

Contractors and manufacturers emphasize networking, training and cautious optimism as the roofing season begins. 

At the Roofing Contractors Association of Washington (RCAW) regional trade show, held at the Muckleshoot Casino, industry professionals gathered to discuss market conditions, network and prepare for the year ahead. For many attendees, the event served as an opportunity to gauge sentiment across the roofing industry as work ramps up for the season. Among the exhibitors was FlashCo, a manufacturer specializing in roofing accessories and flashing products for single-ply and residential roofing systems. Russell Palmer, who represents Washington, Alaska and Hawaii for the company, said the regional event offered an important opportunity to connect directly with contractors and strengthen existing relationships throughout the market. 

“We are the one of the leading suppliers of roofing accessories and flashing for single ply and for residential roofing,” Russell noted. The show also marked a professional milestone for Russell, who has been in the roofing industry for just over two years. While he previously attended trade shows as a participant, this was his first experience exhibiting with a booth. He described the turnout and engagement from attendees as encouraging. “Show's been great,” Russell said. “We've had a lot of people come through.” 

According to Russell, favorable early-season weather has already helped many residential contractors begin work sooner than expected, while expectations on the commercial side remain relatively stable compared to last year. “I think a lot of people are quite positive for the year,” Russell said. “People are kind of cautiously optimistic on that side of business.” 

Beyond discussing products and market conditions, Russell said regional trade shows remain valuable because they create opportunities for ongoing education and industry collaboration. He encouraged contractors to continue seeking training and learning opportunities regardless of their level of experience. “Do as much training as possible,” Russell said. “There's always something to learn about.”

Brave Roof Tile solutions help contractors address harsh climate conditions and evolving customer expectations. 

At the 2026 Roofing Contractors Association of Washington (RCAW) PNW Regional Tradeshow, contractors gathered to explore new products, connect with regional peers and address evolving challenges across the Pacific Northwest. Among the exhibitors, Brava Roof Tile highlighted how alternative roofing materials are gaining traction as contractors look for durable, low-maintenance solutions that meet both aesthetic and performance demands. 

Lauren White of The Coffee Shops™ was able to speak with Jerry Becker, outside and technical sales representative of Brava, about the company’s growing presence throughout the country. “Brava makes an aesthetic composite shake. It’s been around since about 2005,” Jerry said, naming standout clients such as Disneyland and Disney World. “It’s a very popular product on the East Coast, and the West Coast is slowly adopting it because of our environment here.” 

Designed to replicate the look of traditional cedar shake, Brava’s synthetic roofing products are engineered for longevity and resilience. Jerry pointed to the performance advantages that resonate with both contractors and property owners. “It’s going to hold up a lot longer, and you’re not going to have the moss or the growth,” he explained. “It’s about doing this one time and being done.” 

Sustainability is another key advantage of Brava products. Manufactured with recycled materials, Brava tiles help reduce landfill waste while extending roof life cycles. “We use about 63% recycled polymer,” Jerry explained. “That means less roof removal, less waste in our landfills and a more sustainable project overall. It’s going to keep its shape and look for as long as you really wanted to.” 

Contractors at the show expressed demand for alternatives to conventional asphalt and wood shake systems. “They’re craving something different,” Jerry said. “They want a product that gives them the look of shake but without the maintenance and with better performance.”

Mayo estuvo lleno con grandes historias para la comunidad de roofing. 

El verano está por llegar, pero por ahora es momento de mirar el contenido que marcó esta temporada de primavera. Mientras la industria se prepara para los meses más ocupados del roofing, mayo estuvo lleno de protección, educación continua, fútbol, ferias y el nuevo look de RoofersCoffeeShop En Español. 

Con el inicio de la temporada alta de roofing, es importante prepararse antes de comenzar cualquier proyecto. Uno de los temas más relevantes este mes fue cómo los contratistas pueden proteger a sus trabajadores ante visitas de ICE. El artículo más leído del mes, publicado por  Roofing Contractors Association of Washington (RCAW), destacó la importancia de entrenar a los equipos para actuar con seguridad y seguir protocolos claros en momentos críticos. Entre las principales recomendaciones estuvieron: 

• Prepararse con anticipación 
• Establecer protocolos claros en el sitio de trabajo 
• Conocer sus derechos 

Y hablando de RCAW, el equipo de RoofersCoffeeShop también fue parte de la feria anual de RCAW, donde hubo conexión, competencia y mucha camaradería. Para Matthew Ramirez, creador multimedia de TCS, el evento tuvo un significado muy especial, “Mi experiencia personal fue muy reconfortante porque pude ver a mi padre aceptar dos premios en nombre de la empresa para la que trabaja. Me hizo sentir orgulloso y espero con entusiasmo lo que el futuro pueda traer.” 

Pero esa no fue la única conversación importante del mes. La industria del roofing está cambiando constantemente, así lo explicó el segundo artículo más leído del mes: La educación es la clave para escalar en la industria de roofing.

RCMA’s contractor program helps contractors grow their roof coating businesses through education, networking and advocacy. 

When Cody Wilson, president of Unicote Industrial Roofing Corporation, learned of the Roof Coatings Manufacturers Association (RCMA)’s new contractor membership program at the end of 2025, he was eager to join. “We were pretty excited about it, so we jumped on right away,” Cody shared.  

Based out of Bradenton, Florida, Unicote is a foam and coatings contractor that serves the Southeast United States. Cody discussed his initial experience with RCMA a few years ago when the association lobbied to protect contractors in response to insurance regulatory issues. “It was pretty detrimental to us because it affected not only roof coatings but foam as well; that’s our entire business in the state of Florida,” Cody said.  

After witnessing this advocacy work firsthand, Cody knew he wanted Unicote to be part of RCMA’s contractor program. “It’s a great opportunity for contractors to meet other contractors across the country, pick their brains or even assist people who are new to roof coatings,” Cody said, adding the benefits to manufacturers as well. “A lot of manufacturers are striving to create new technologies and applications, styles that haven’t been tapped into yet. It's great to meet with the manufacturers themselves and see the new products they're offering.” 

On top of providing networking opportunities for contractors, manufacturers and suppliers, RCMA offers education to those new to roof coatings. “The roofing industry sometimes has a stigma, especially with older companies that have been doing ‘traditional roofing’ forever,” Cody stated. “Getting them to see the benefits of roof coatings and become more of a proponent for it is something we strive for. I would urge any contractor in the roofing industry to join RCMA.” 

Finally, Cody noted the impactful advocacy work RCMA is currently doing to address issues affecting Mississippi contractors. “It's great to have a partner like RCMA who's proactive and involved in the legal and state side of things,” Cody expressed. “They’re paying attention to what’s going on and protecting us contractors. A big thank you to RCMA for that work.”

Learn about how PABCO’s Cascade product line unites design and performance in one stunning shingle.  

While at the 2026 Roofing Contractors Association of Washington (RCAW) show, we caught up with Lori Jerome, the marketing manager at PABCO Roofing Products, for a quick interview. Headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, PABCO is known for their high-quality shingle products. In fact, one of those shingles was on display at the show – their Cascade shingle. Lori shared a bit about the display, saying, “It shows the recent Edgewood Lake Tahoe project that used Cascade shingles. It’s really beautiful. You can find videos of it on our website, pabcoroofing.com.” 

The video is well-worth a watch, full of drone footage that showcases the unique and powerful beauty of the diamond-shaped Cascade shingle. And these signature cut shingles are not only good looking, but they are also high-performance with features such as:  

• Fire resistance: Cascade shingles have been tested to meet the UL790 Class A Fire Resistance Standard. This is the highest fire test classification for roofing and indicates Cascade shingles’ ability to withstand severe exposure from fires originating outside of the building envelope.  
• Warranty: PABCO also provides a Limited Lifetime warranty for the Cascade shingles. This warranty not only protects the homeowner’s investment; it creates a clear record of roof history, making future service, documentation and ownership transfers easier.   
• Low maintenance: And last but not least, Cascade shingles feature Algae Defender® technology. This is ideal for wet climates, like that in PABCO’s hometown of Tacoma, where dampness and humidity can facilitate algae growth. Algae Defender also helps against moss and lichen.  

Overall, these shingles are a great example of how the products coming out of PABCO raise the standard of roofing. Like Lori said, “Being at this show is great because everyone is truly there to help each other and continue to raise the standards of the industry and the professionalism of roofing on a whole, we’re glad to be a part of it.”

Contratistas, fabricantes y proveedores de servicios llegaron listos para aprender, competir y conectar, y la feria anual de RCAW cumplió con las expectativas. 

Entre ráfagas de nieve, competencias de colocación de shingles y entrevistas, la feria anual organizada por la Roofing Contractors Association of Washington (RCAW) en el Muckleshoot Casino ofreció lo que muchos asistentes describieron como uno de sus eventos más exitosos hasta la fecha. Contratistas, fabricantes y proveedores de servicios llegaron preparados para aprender y conversar. 

El evento comenzó con un programa nocturno dedicado a celebrar el oficio. Una conferencia motivacional destacó temas como la generosidad, tomar riesgos y retribuir a la comunidad, seguida de una ceremonia de premios que reconoció proyectos sobresalientes de contratistas de Washington. Lauren White, editora en jefe de The Coffee Shops (TCS), describió la noche como inspiradora y significativa, resaltando la calidad artesanal y el compromiso dentro del estado. 

Para Matthew Ramirez, creador multimedia de TCS, el evento destacó tanto por su energía como por su significado personal. “Mi experiencia personal fue muy reconfortante porque pude ver a mi padre aceptar dos premios en nombre de la empresa para la que trabaja. Me hizo sentir orgulloso y espero con entusiasmo lo que el futuro pueda traer.” 

Lo que sucedió después de la ceremonia de premios fue la experiencia favorita del fin de semana para Brenda Littau, gerente de cuentas de TCS. Algunas personas decidieron salir por un helado como cierre de la noche, lo que rápidamente se convirtió en un grupo mucho más grande. Como compartió Brenda: “Cuando nos sentamos y empezamos a platicar, de repente había más de 13 personas en el grupo. Y todos estaban emocionados por compartir información, conectar entre sí y construir relaciones que durarán más allá del evento. Fue una experiencia increíble.” 

La feria comercial en sí estuvo, “¡Fuera de serie!” según Amanda Fields, directora ejecutiva de RCAW. El evento tuvo una asistencia récord a pesar del clima y todos llegaron listos para aprender, hacer networking, competir y pasarla bien. Escuche a Justin Shirley, presidente de RCAW, y Amanda Fields hablar sobre su experiencia en la feria: 

Para Matthew, “Se hicieron muchas nuevas amistades y se compartieron nuevas perspectivas sobre la industria del roofing.” Cubriendo el evento detrás de la cámara, pasó tiempo interactuando con contratistas y profesionales de la industria, obteniendo una visión de primera mano de las personas que están dando forma al roofing hoy en día. 

Asistiendo por tercer año consecutivo, Brenda describió esta edición como la más sólida hasta ahora. “El evento estuvo concurrido y tuvo una gran asistencia,” comentó. “Aunque nevó todo el día, eso no impidió que la industria se presentara.” Desde sesiones educativas hasta la competencia de instalación rápida de shingles, la energía se mantuvo alta. Pasó la mayor parte del tiempo recorriendo la feria y llevando asistentes al booth para entrevistas, conectando tanto con socios de muchos años como con nuevas caras. 

Brenda destacó la variedad de empresas presentes en esta feria regional y compartió: “Había compañías para ayudar a los contratistas a resolver reclamaciones de L&I; ayudar a sus clientes potenciales a encontrar financiamiento para generar ventas adicionales; e incluso ayudar a los contratistas a manejar proyectos donde las reclamaciones de seguros forman parte del proceso. Estos pueden ser obstáculos para los contratistas, así que es increíble poder asistir a un evento como este y simplemente hacer preguntas.” 

Asistiendo por primera vez, Lauren encontró especialmente valiosa la escala regional del evento y compartió: “Me encantan las ferias regionales porque tienes más tiempo para convivir con las personas, a diferencia de algunos eventos más grandes. Siempre es divertido ver a personas que he conocido en otros eventos y también conocer gente nueva.” Con el booth de The Coffee Shops ubicado al frente del piso de exhibición, el equipo pudo conectar con una gran variedad de asistentes y capturar una amplia gama de entrevistas. “Tuve la oportunidad de entrevistar a nuestros clientes y a otros asistentes del evento. Tuvimos conversaciones increíbles, aprendimos qué novedades tienen estas compañías y escuchamos sobre todas las grandes cosas que RCAW está haciendo y tiene preparadas,” compartió Lauren. 

Abad Zarate, de AzaPro Roofing, también compartió con nosotros y agradeció a los asistentes por estar presentes en este evento. Como director de RCAW, motivó a los asistentes diciéndoles: “Les recomiendo hacerse miembros. De verdad tenemos muchos beneficios, como marketing, ayuda legal y muchas otras cosas que ofrecemos como apoyo.” Abad destaco lo orgulloso que se siente de pertenecer a esta comunidad.  

A través de las tres perspectivas, algunos temas sobresalieron: resiliencia, comunidad y oportunidad. El diseño cuidadosamente planeado del evento fomentó el networking, mientras que las actividades sociales crearon espacios para conversaciones que fueron mucho más allá de los negocios. Ya fuera a través de entrevistas, sesiones educativas o reuniones espontáneas, los asistentes encontraron valor en cada rincón de la experiencia. Escuche el recapitulativo en vivo del evento con Brenda, Matthew y Lauren: 

Como reflexionó Matthew: “La organización del evento creada por RCAW generó un espacio muy fácil para hacer networking y conocer a otras personas… Espero ver crecer tanto a RCAW como a sus asistentes.” 

Si el evento de este año sirve de referencia, ese crecimiento ya está en marcha.

Contractors, manufacturers and service providers came ready to learn, compete and connect, and RCAW’s annual trade show delivered. 

Amidst snow flurries, shingle competitions and interviews, the annual trade show hosted by the Roofing Contractors Association of Washington (RCAW) at the Muckleshoot Casino delivered what many attendees described as one of its most successful events to date. Contractors, manufacturers and service providers showed up ready to learn and converse. 

The event kicked off with an evening program dedicated to celebrating the trade. A motivational keynote underscored themes of generosity, risk-taking and giving back, followed by an awards ceremony showcasing standout projects from Washington contractors. Lauren White, editor in chief for The Coffee Shops (TCS), described the night as both inspiring and grounding, emphasizing the craftsmanship and commitment within the state. 

For Matthew Ramirez, TCS multimedia content creator, the event stood out for both its energy and personal significance. “My personal experience was comforting as I got to witness my father accept two awards on behalf of the company he works for. It made me proud and I look forward to what the future may hold.” 

What happened after the awards ceremony was TCS Account Manager Brenda Littau’s, favorite experience of the weekend. A few people had decided to get an ice cream nightcap, which quickly turned into a larger group. As Brenda shared, “When we sat down and started talking, all of a sudden there were 13+ people in this group. And everyone was excited to share information, connect with each other and build relationships that will last beyond the event. It was an amazing experience.” 

The tradeshow itself was, “Off the hook!” according to Amanda Fields, RCAW executive director. The show had record attendance, despite the weather, and everyone came ready to learn, to network, to compete and to have a good time! Hear from Justin Shirley, RCAW president, and Amanda Fields about their show experience: 

For Matthew, “Lots of new friends were made and new insights on the roofing industry were shared.” Covering the show from behind the camera, he spent time interacting with contractors and industry professionals, gaining a firsthand look at the people helping shape roofing today.  

Attending for her third year, Brenda described the show as the strongest yet. “The event was strong with great attendance,” she said. “Although it snowed all day, it didn't stop the industry from showing up.” From educational sessions to the fastest shingle competition, the energy remained high. She spent most of the time walking around the show and bringing attendees to the booth for interviews, connecting with both longtime partners and new faces.  

Brenda noted the variety of companies that were present at the regional show, sharing, “There were companies to help contractors navigate L&I claims; help their potential customers find financing to capture additional sales; and even to help contractors manage projects where insurance claims are a piece of the puzzle. These can be hurdles to contractors, so it is pretty amazing to be able to go to an event like this and just ask questions.” 

Attending for the first time, Lauren found the regional scale of the show especially valuable, sharing, “I love regional shows because you get more time to visit with people as opposed to some of the bigger shows. It's always fun to see people I've met from different events and get to know other people as well.” With The Coffee Shops' booth positioned at the front of the show floor, the team was able to connect with a variety of attendees and capture a wide range of interviews. “I had the chance to interview our customers and other attendees of the show. We had some great conversations, learned what's new with these companies and heard about all the great things RCAW is doing and has coming up,” Lauren shared. 

Across all three perspectives, a few themes stood out: resilience, community and opportunity. The thoughtfully designed layout encouraged networking, while hospitality events created space for conversations that extended well beyond business. Whether through interviews, educational sessions or spontaneous gatherings, attendees found value in every corner of the experience. Hear the live recap of the show from Brenda, Matthew and Lauren: 

As Matthew reflected, “The layout that was created by RCAW harbored an easy space to network and get to know others… I look forward to seeing RCAW grow as well as their attendees.” 

If this year’s event is any indication, that growth is already well underway.

Exploring Valentine Roofing’s award‑winning reroof of a historic Tacoma home. 

In Tacoma, Washington, there is a neighborhood featuring shady trees, manicured lawns and historic homes called North End. One such home on this street is a stunning historic 1889 Victorian which was recently reroofed by local roofing company Valentine Roofing. – This is the project that won Valentine their second Roofing Contractors Association of Washington (RCAW) Excellence in Roofing Award in two years!  

To learn more about this project and the win, we spoke with the Valentine team for a short interview. Jenna Esteves, one of their project coordinators, opened the conversation by sharing a bit about the house.

She shared, “This home stayed with the original family who built the home. It was originally the home of a husband, his wife and their daughter until 2006 when the daughter, at that point in her 90s, sold it to the current owners, Todd and Kim. They did a ton of refurbishing on it, making sure to preserve the historical look. That preservation of history is so important to Todd and Kim, they even have like artifacts from the original family displayed in the house.” 

Where Valentine came into the picture was when the current owners began looking for a team who could reroof the home for them without losing the historical charm they loved so much. However, that was far from a simple task, as that same charm created unique challenges when it came to the roof. Rochelle Robles, the project engineer on this reroof, shared some insight into these challenges:  

For starters, as a traditional Victorian home, there’s a turret. And then there's a bisected roof line on that turret. Below the turret is the upper level, and then there’s a floating skirt before you get to the lower level. There was also the curvature of the roof line, the fact that the home was such a high 12/12 pitch, the cap metal details and the built-in gutters to account for. So, it was a very difficult project both in terms of technicality and in terms of keeping our team safe as they worked. 

While that was a lot to navigate, the Valentine team rose to the occasion, hand-cutting shingles and custom fabricating metal on-site for the project. LeeAnn Stevens, Valentine’s operations manager, shared her thoughts on the crew’s incredible work, saying, “Every member of the team, from the estimators who worked with the Todd and Kim to figure out the vision to the production team coordinating all the moving parts and of course the crew, shoutout to the foreman Elmer, on the roof, really just put their heart into it. We’re so proud of how everyone showed up and made sure every detail was cared for.” 

And getting all that effort recognized with an RCAW Excellence in Roofing Award was just icing on the cake for a project well done!  As Valentine CEO Steven Heller put it, “Winning this award for the second year in a row is a tremendous honor for our team. This project reflects the level of care, craftsmanship, and coordination our team brings to every home. Protecting a historic property like this requires precision at every stage, and we are incredibly proud of the finished result.”
