<h2>Award-winning roofing projects highlight technical expertise, safety coordination and creative problem-solving across schools, airports, medical facilities and urban landmarks.&nbsp;</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/sika-corporation">Sika Roofing &amp; Waterproofing</a> has announced the winners of its <a href="https://digital.bnpengage.com/ips-sika-roofing-awards-2025-0426/">2025 Projects of the Year competition</a>, recognizing standout roofing and waterproofing installations completed by contractors across the United States. The annual program honors excellence across multiple categories, showcasing projects that combine technical expertise, planning and innovation under demanding real-world conditions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Among the recognized projects was the Narbonne High School roofing modernization in Harbor City, California, completed by BEST Contracting Services Inc. The large-scale effort covered more than 55 buildings within the Los Angeles Unified School District and featured the first installation of Sarnafil Self-Adhered Feltback membranes in 60-mil EnergySmart. Crews coordinated work during off-hours to minimize disruptions within the active school environment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In Boston, Massachusetts, Commonwealth Building Systems earned recognition for the 500 Boylston Street project, which transformed a highly visible rooftop into a checkerboard architectural feature using Sarnafil membranes in White and Lead Grey. The installation required precise measurements and detailed layout planning to maintain consistent alignment across the roof.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Educational facilities were a recurring theme among the winners. Hayden Building Maintenance Corp. completed a complex restoration at Albertus Magnus High School in Bardonia, New York, replacing aging roofing systems above occupied classrooms, athletic spaces and cafeteria areas while maintaining daily operations. Similarly, DG Roofing LLC completed a six-month replacement project at Carl Schurz Elementary School in New Braunfels, Texas using a torch-applied SikaShield modified bitumen system designed for long-term durability and energy efficiency.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Several projects highlighted the logistical challenges of roofing active or highly visible facilities. J.Reynolds and Co., a Tecta America Co., replaced the elevated turbine roof atop Houston&rsquo;s Hess Tower under difficult weather and access constraints. At Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport Concourse D, L. Marshall Roofing and Sheet Metal completed a roof replacement while working within strict Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) protocols to avoid disrupting airport operations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tri-State Commercial Roofing Corp. was also recognized for a large-scale roofing upgrade at Stryker Orthopaedics in Mahwah, New Jersey, where crews coordinated around ongoing corporate operations and installed more than 350,000 square feet of Sarnafil roofing systems engineered to meet strict performance requirements.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The winning projects reflected a common emphasis on safety, coordination, durability and long-term building performance, showcasing the resilience needed for contractors to meet the growing technical demands placed on modern commercial roofing project needs.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Two days of learning, networking and industry recognition.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>At the beginning of May, the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/air-barrier-association-of-america-abaa">Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA)</a> brought building enclosures professionals from across the industry together for their annual conference. Held in Minneapolis, Minnesota this year, the conference featured a full schedule of networking opportunities and education sessions!&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Networking&nbsp;</h3>

<p>On the networking side of things, the conference featured an extensive expo floor with leading companies like <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/rainscreen-association-in-north-america-raina">Rainscreen Association in North America (RAiNA)</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/sika-corporation">Sika</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/georgia-pacific">Georgia-Pacific</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/dupont-tedlar">DuPont Tedlar</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/vaproshield">VaproShield</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/polyglass-2">Polyglass</a> and <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/soprema-2">SOPREMA</a> in attendance.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>There were also notable events to attend, like the Board Meet &amp; Greet, a keynote session from Brian Callaghan and Mary Kilnay and the much-anticipated ABAA awards ceremony!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The award ceremony saw a variety of celebrations and recognitions, including the distribution of the Years of Service Award (which recognizes ABAA members who have completed 12 consecutive years of service as directors) to Peter Barrett, Andre Desjarlais, Brian Stroik and Craig Wetmore. Further, Matthew Giambrone was given the Leadership Award and Uri Portillo received the Staff Recognition Award.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>As for the Peter Spafford Award, it went to Spray Foam Technologies of Kentucky for getting the &ldquo;minimum number of audits (10 per year for 2 years, totaling 20) with a minimum percentage (95%) of audits without any demerits.&rdquo; And last but not least, the Air Barrier QAP Award was presented to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1401373815355287&amp;set=pb.100064480461171.-2207520000&amp;type=3">13 different organizations</a> who each showcased exceptional air barrier installation.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Education&nbsp;</h3>

<p>On the education side of the event, attendees were given the opportunity to accumulate one AIA continuing education credit per hour of conference education sessions attended! These education sessions were divided into two tracks to help professionals get the most out of their time at the conference.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The first track focused on foundational education. For example, one such course was led by Robert Dazel from <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/tremco">Tremco</a>, &ldquo;Building Enclosure Architectural Details - Conveying Construction Drawing Clarity.&rdquo; This course walked through the anatomy of the building envelope and helped attendees understand how to design airtight, watertight and energy efficient buildings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As for the second track, featuring more intermediate and advanced presentations, attendees could participate in courses such as Donald B. Snell (Building Forensics Group)&rsquo;s seminar. Titled &ldquo;Catastrophic Failures and the Net Effect of Design and Construction Errors on Moisture Management,&rdquo; this session explored how &ldquo;<a href="https://abaaconference.com/2026-showbook/">seemingly minor design and construction flaws can compound into major building and HVAC system failures, often with costly consequences</a>.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Learn how these award-winning projects demonstrate technical precision, collaboration and innovation across complex roofing systems.&nbsp;</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/sika-corporation">Sika Roofing &amp; Waterproofing</a>&rsquo;s 2025 <a href="https://digital.bnpengage.com/ips-sika-roofing-awards-2025-0426/">Projects of the Year Awards</a> offer a clear view into how contractors are meeting rising expectations for performance, durability and architectural integration. The annual competition recognizes application excellence across Sika&rsquo;s approved applicator network, drawing submissions from across the country in categories including low-slope, steep slope, waterproofing and sustainability.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 2025 winners reflect a broader shift in the industry, where complexity is no longer situational but inherent to the work itself. That reality is evident in the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center in Los Angeles, California, where Letner Roofing Company executed a roofing system designed to meet both technical and visual demands. The approximately 200,000-square-foot expansion, built to house the Space Shuttle Endeavour, required more than 55,000 square feet of Sarnafil PVC membrane installed across five distinct roof levels.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Each section required a different approach. A ballasted assembly with Mexican black pebbles delivered a clean, finished appearance while supporting efficient installation, while other areas demanded precise detailing around pre-installed ductwork and complex wall transitions. At higher elevations, multiple systems were integrated, including Sikaplan membrane for interior protection and a Sarnafil D&eacute;cor Roof system engineered to replicate the look of standing seam metal, ensuring consistency across both performance and design.&nbsp;</p>

<p>QTS New Albany 1 (NAL1) DC1&nbsp;</p>

<p>That same emphasis on system integration carries into the QTS New Albany 1 (NAL1) DC1 data center in New Albany, Ohio. Completed by Cotterman &amp; Company Construction, the 240,000-square-foot facility was built to support mission-critical operations where failure is not an option. The roofing assembly was designed as a unified system, combining layered insulation, vapor barriers, leak detection and a 72-mil Sarnafil PVC membrane. Extensive expansion joints and perimeter detailing were incorporated to manage movement and maintain long-term reliability across the structure.&nbsp;</p>

<p>These projects demonstrate how roofing has evolved within modern construction. As buildings demand greater coordination and higher performance thresholds, roofing systems are increasingly defined by how well they integrate with the broader structure. The 2025 winners represent that shift in practice, setting a higher standard for execution across the industry.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Sika highlighted coatings, restoration systems and contractor training while engaging with attendees on the show floor.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>The 2026 <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/ire">International Roofing Expo</a> brought together roofing professionals from across the world, and <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/sika-corporation">Sika Roofing &amp; Waterproofing</a> used the opportunity to showcase its wide range of building protection solutions while connecting with contractors on the show floor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On day one of the event, Dani Sheehan of The Coffee Shops&trade; stopped by the Sika booth to learn more about what the company had planned for attendees. She had the chance to catch up with Patrick Jorski, parking and restoration specialist for Sika in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been in this role for over 20 years. I&rsquo;ve been selling our THORO coatings for over 36 years,&rdquo; he shared.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Alongside product demonstrations and conversations with contractors, Sika created an interactive experience designed to draw in visitors. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re doing a sealant challenge to find the fastest caulker. The person with the quickest time wins a grill,&rdquo; said Patrick. The activity gave roofing professionals a chance to test their skills while engaging with the brand in a fun and competitive environment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Beyond the contest, Sika focused on highlighting the breadth of its waterproofing and restoration solutions. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re also talking about our wall coatings, our ad mix, our concrete repair, our One-Shot specialized deck coating system &mdash; so, anything to waterproof and protect your building,&rdquo; Patrick explained. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s what we do.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Education was also a major focus for the company at the show. Patrick serves as a presenter and trainer for Sika&rsquo;s national wall coating applicator program, which helps contractors develop the knowledge and skills needed to properly install their coating systems.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a two-day course of means and methods, proper application, proper millage, how to teach the contractors to put the materials in right so it&rsquo;s perfect, beautiful and you get the aesthetics that you really want,&rdquo; Patrick said.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>With a high-traffic booth near the show entrance and customers visiting from across the country, including many from Texas, Sika stayed busy throughout the event.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Sika&rsquo;s presence at IRE 2026 underscored the growing momentum behind liquid-applied membranes.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>At the 2026 <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/ire">International Roofing Expo</a>, <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/sika-corporation">Sika Corporation</a> showcased its liquid membranes, demonstrating the company&rsquo;s proactive approach to meeting market trends. Sean Fraker, national manager for Sika&rsquo;s roofing division specific to liquid-applied membranes, spoke with Karen Edwards about how Sika is leading the charge for the industry.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;We offer everything from acrylics and silicones to single-component urethanes, polyureas, PMMAs (polyurethane-modified methyl methacrylates) and a couple of other things that we&#39;re experimenting with as the as the roofing world changes and has different demands,&rdquo; Sean shared. &ldquo;That&#39;s our focus this year.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The roofing world is indeed changing, with the liquid-applied membrane segment growing every year. &ldquo;Freedonia just released this year&#39;s report with expected growth at 7%. Do that five, six years in a row &mdash; it&rsquo;s a rapidly growing market,&rdquo; Sean said. &ldquo;A lot of people are spending time recovering versus replacing. So, if you want to be in the market and you want to play, you&rsquo;ve got to have a good line of liquids, and we do.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>For contractors looking to expand their offerings to include liquid-applied membranes, Sika is ready to help. With over 100 salespeople across the United States, Sika has a robust system to prepare contractors and takes training seriously. &ldquo;We make sure contractors have the skillset, the crew and the basic equipment. Then, we go through a series of training,&rdquo; Sean explained. &ldquo;Some of the technologies require specialized equipment and application methods, so we&#39;ve got an experienced technical staff for that training.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>With liquid&rsquo;s many attractive features and benefits &mdash; from sustainability, energy efficiency and availability in just about any color &mdash; Sika&rsquo;s booth during the Expo saw a steady stream of visitors. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s been jam-packed,&rdquo; Sean said. &ldquo;We had 40 people scheduled in the booth, and all of them left exhausted. We did a lot of talking.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>The 17th Annual Community Service Day Project gathered 30 volunteers&nbsp; to serve Las Vegas residents in need.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Before exhibitors and attendees filled the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/ire">International Roofing Expo</a> trade show floor, 30 volunteers gathered for the event&rsquo;s 17th Annual Community Service Day Project on <strong>Monday, January 19, 2026</strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>In partnership with nonprofit Rebuilding Together - Southern Nevada and sponsored by industry leaders including <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/sika-corporation">Sika Corporation</a> and <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/gaf">GAF</a>, this year&rsquo;s Community Service Day provided conference attendees with an opportunity to give back to the local community by donating their time to repair homes for two low-income Las Vegas residents.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;We donate $15,000 to help pay for all of the construction materials and the Rebuilding Together labor,&rdquo; Bill Bellico, vice president of Sika, told <a href="https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/roofing-expo-community-helps-southern-nevadans-in-need/">KLAS 8 News Now</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The first homeowner was 78-year-old Minnie Davis. Minnie has owned her home since 1985, but after the passing of her husband Bob in October 2025, keeping up with the maintenance of the property was too physically and financially burdensome. IRE volunteers stepped up to paint walls, repair doors and clean up the yard, earning Minnie&#39;s gratitude.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s overwhelming to see all these people take care of me,&rdquo; Minnie expressed. &ldquo;If I could, I&rsquo;d give them all a million dollars for helping me!&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Volunteers also helped with repairs and yard cleanup for a low-income 73-year-old couple who have owned their home for 20 years and struggled with the upkeep of their property due to their older age and financial difficulties.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Overall, the IRE Community Service Day was a day of giving back while building industry unity, setting the stage for a successful conference experience. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a really rewarding day, because you&rsquo;re bringing together people across the industry, creating stronger ties within the community,&rdquo; Bill shared.&nbsp;</p>
