Semple Gooder wins
CRCA Award
A 2005 roofing restoration project at the New St. James Presbyterian Church in London, Ontario was anything but ordinary. The church was a 11O-year-old local landmark with intricate designs on l20-foot towers. So when Semple-Gooder Roofing Ltd. successfully tackled this demanding job, drawing accolades from church officials, it came as no surprise that the Toronto-headquartered contractor was awarded a CRCA Roofing Canada Award.

(click photo to enlarge)
|
Canadian Copper Magazine recently featured an article that touted the fine copper work done during the restoration of a Ryerson University building, Heaslip House.
Semple-Gooder, played a very key role in the design and installation of approximately 23,000 pounds of sheet copper that it took to complete the job.
Heaslip House is one of Toronto's historical landmarks which has now become an interesting mix of historical restoration and contemporary construction. It is now a state-of-the-art facility and this project has ensured that Semple-Gooder has left another beauty mark that will last for many decades on Toronto's down town core.

2005 - Semple Gooder, Always the Innovators
(click on photos to enlarge)
One of the innovative procedures developed by Semple-Gooder Roofing Limited is the custom fabrication of our asphalt tankers inside of trailers. Not only is this more aesthetically pleasing to the eye, it also makes the job site much safer by preventing curious children or others from tampering with the valves when the tank is full of 450 degree asphalt.
There is still enough space in front of the tank to house either a locked tool shed or site office.
What would you rather have in front or your building?
