"To Seal & Protect"
Our Story
Crown Industrial Roofing is a full-service commercial and industrial flat roofing company servicing the Greater Toronto Area since 1977, specializing in service repair and roof replacement.
Our Story
Our story is a testament to the values of hard work, determination, and the enduring bonds that unite us as a family. It speaks to the profound impact of starting small, believing in oneself, and nurturing relationships that withstand the test of time.
Brian Sharp
Our journey began in 1976 when our founder, Brian Sharp, a young man in his early 20s, with the money he earned digging oil pipelines in Alberta, embarked on a remarkable adventure along the American west coast and into Mexico in a humble Volkswagen van. Brian, deeply influenced by the values of hard work instilled in him while assisting his father and brothers in constructing the original Ponderosa Campground in Mount Albert, Ontario (still there today), returned to Canada in 1977 and with a loan of $200, courageously started his first roofing job. This humble beginning marked the genesis of something truly extraordinary.
Luis Amaral
Sometime around 1984, Luis Amaral joined Brian and swiftly rose to become Brian's most trusted Roofing foreman for over 40 years. Even today, you can find Luis in the back shop, diligently tinkering with tools and equipment, a testament to the long-lasting relationship with the company.
Joe Ferrier
In 1989, a 16-year-old Joe Ferrier joined our team as a laborer, and through unwavering loyalty and perseverance, he climbed the ranks from laborer, telemarketer, accounts receivable, estimator to eventually assume the role of President.
Michael Lock
In 1991, Michael Lock joined our team as the senior estimator, a role he held for 32 years until his well-deserved retirement on his 65th birthday.
Michael was genuinely taken aback when he received his well-deserved retirement gift on his final day at the office, October 27, 2022. Your contribution over the years is truly appreciated and instrumental.
