9 Any professional in the construction industry would concur that a roof is much more than just the top of a building, and what a person puts on their roof can have a significant impact on their balance sheet. Embodying this mindset to the fullest extent is RPW Modular Building Solutions, Canada’s leading provider of modular roofing. Recognized for its innovation and excellent client service in this programme, we caught up with Amanda Gilmore, company president, for more on its solutions and approach. Despite being officially founded in 2021, the story of RPW Modular Roofing Solutions dates back a lot further. The company was built off of the success of RPW Associates, Inc., a business started by Paul Whaley back in 1998, and remains a division of it to this day. With this prestige to boot, RPW Modular today provides high-quality membranes, accessories, and technical support to those in the industry. In particular, it is renowned for its 13-foot-wide PVC seamless sheets, which have been designed to offer a straightforward application. Alongside this flagship solution, which is made using only the finest Evaloy KEE PVC membrane, the company also supplies both TPO and EPDM membranes, both of which can be custom fabricated to ensure they are a perfect fit for a client’s every job. But a roof is much more than the membrane, and this is why RPW Modular’s product portfolio also comprises a range of roofing accessories – fasteners, tapes, adhesives, etc. – as well as all the necessary support to ensure that every project relating to a roof goes off without a hitch. For clients, this applies to new construction, re-roofing projects, and retrofitting alike, positioning RPW Modular as the full-service provider many clients seek out for a job. As mentioned briefly above, this covers support, with the dedicated customer service and technical support divisions within the company always being just a phone call away to support with every modular roofing query, from design and code compliance to project take-offs and everything in between. Very few providers have such an encompassing approach. “We believe that what you put on top has a direct effect on your bottom line.” Being Canada’s only source for the 13’ PVC seamless sheet would be enough of a distinction in its own right, but RPW Modular takes things a step further by tailoring this and its other roof membranes to a client’s exact specifications, a process which minimizes waste and optimizes the installation. The result not only saves time on a project but also improves both the appearance and performance of a roof, offering improved functionality and peace of mind for countless years to come. The success RPW Modular enjoys as a result of this approach stems from the foundational belief that its clients are integral members of the community it has built. By treating them as such – not simply as numbers – the company has established a network of clients across both the modular and commercial construction markets and has worked on a range of diverse projects, ranging from single office trailers through to permanent modular buildings. When asked, the company will also take on more specialist projects, as was seen recently. Recognizing that it is good to take on a new challenge every once in a while, RPW Modular was honoured to be asked to take part in a major re-roofing project for the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, one of the country’s most revered tourist attractions. Joining the company on the job was the aforementioned Paul Whaley (who was the original roof consultant), as well as Provincial Roofing, the original roofing contractor, and Cooley Group, RPW’s membrane partner. They collaborated to bring a significant project to fruition that had been years in the making. More typical projects are managed on a one-toone basis by a member of this dedicated team, which comprises talented industry professionals aligned under the company’s overarching aim of delivering high-quality, cost-effective, ecofriendly roofing systems to its clients. The more than 20 years of industry experience Amanda boasts sees her oversee every aspect of this operation, from project planning and execution through to customer service, technical support, and finance. Amanda is also responsible for setting the vision and culture. It is thanks to this that RPW Modular prizes collaboration with fellow industry leaders as much as it does with its clients, seen through Amanda keeping close ties with RPW Associates and proSeal Roof Systems alike, both of which she worked for in customer service management roles prior to the launch of RPW Modular almost four years ago to the day at time of writing. The result is that her company remains one step ahead when it comes to market trends and customer needs, positioning it favourably for future expansion. With this in mind, Amanda told us that the final few weeks of 2025 for RPW Modular are all about laying the groundwork for the innovative projects it has lined up for 2026, in turn giving way to an engaging and productive couple of years within the modular and commercial construction industries. Given both of these spaces are also in the midst of some exciting advancements, the sector is quickly becoming a hotbed of activity for companies like RPW Modular, which remains committed to the differentiators that set it apart. Named the Most Innovative Modular Roofing Solutions Provider 2025 – Canada and celebrated with our BUILD Client Service Excellence Award 2025, Amanda signed off by capturing the essence of RPW Modular Roofing Solutions, stating: “We are dedicated to excellence, delivering top-tier roofing membranes for the modular industry with unwavering commitment and expertise.” For more on how a roof is more than just a roof with RPW Modular, visit its website below.
