Last week, the GAF Roofing Academy brought incredible opportunities to Southern California. Participants dove into hands-on training for residential, commercial, and sales roles, building the skills needed to launch their roofing careers. The event wrapped up with a job fair, where graduates connected with local contractors and walked away with immediate employment opportunities. This is what building brighter futures looks like—one roof at a time.

It’s not every day you see a 72,600sf American flag on a roof! 🇺🇸 At the River City Roofing Company, Inc. building next to the National Guard Air Base in Peoria, IL, Tim Garrison’s vision to honor service members took shape with a unique roof replacement. Partnering with GAF, he used EverGuard® TPO Color Membrane for a stunning flag design. “We wanted a meaningful way to honor the brave men and women who serve our country,” says Garrison.
