Partnership & Alliance
Collaboration and strong partnerships are essential for CRCA to achieve its mandate and effectively serve its members. By working together, we can accomplish more, leveraging shared expertise, resources, and perspectives to strengthen the roofing industry as a whole.
Our goal is to complement the efforts of provincial roofing contractor associations while building meaningful partnerships at both the national and international levels. A key part of this work is fostering strategic alliances across the North American roofing community.
CRCA Provincial Roofing Association Partners
RCABC – Roofing Contractors Association of British Columbia
When we first opened our doors back in 1958 our purpose was simple; we wanted to bring together professional roofing contractors, manufacturers and suppliers who are dedicated to the promotion and protection of the public interest in everything that relates to roofing. Our mission is to give our members the training, technical support and leadership to enable them to offer their customers the highest quality roofing practices, guarantees and business ethics in the roofing and related industries in BC. RCABC established the first roofing guarantee that’s backed by both the contractor who does the work and the RCABC itself. It’s called the RoofStar Guarantee and is based on having qualified contractors, well-trained installers, accepted standards for materials, and independent inspections. That means only roofs built by RCABC members can be covered by the RoofStar Guarantee. We don’t just stop there, we also take a proactive role in advancing roofing technology and built the RCABC training centre, the first educational facility in North America designed for and dedicated to training the entire roofing industry.
