Show off how your roofing crew throws a BBQ with this photo contest!

From rooftop to grill top, no one works harder than roofing crews. That’s why General Coatings Manufacturing Corp. wants to celebrate with their BBQ and Roofing Crew photo contest! This is a fun opportunity to show off your legendary cookouts and grilling sessions. The only requirement is real roofers, real grills and real good times — no fluff, no filters, just freedom, fire and the smell of charred perfection!

Whether it’s on the jobsite, at the shop or in the backyard, we want to see how you and your team celebrate hard work and harder-earned weekends. And beyond BBQ and briskets, this giveaway is about celebrating the hardworking men and women who show up rain or shine, get the job done and still make time to kick back with their team. Will Lorenz, president of General Coatings put it simply, “All you have to do is show us your best BBQ-ing. It's summer season and people like to get out and barbecue. We want to help hardworking roofers enjoy that.”

This giveaway is open until June 25, 2025, and the winners will receive some grilling tools and a custom leather and canvas apron that’s perfect for your Fourth of July BBQ bash! So, next time you throw some ribs on the smoker and a pull out a cooler full of cold ones, make sure to snap a pic.

Send in your crew BBQ photos today!
