Others

• Atlas Roofing: Major North American roofing and insulation materials manufacturer supplying shingles and roofing underlayments. Functions as a supplier partner for residential and commercial roofing contractors, including Nelson.
• Johns Manville: Building insulation and roofing materials manufacturer supplying commercial and industrial roofing products. A key material supplier for Nelson's commercial flat roofing and insulation scope, and a benchmark for the broader roofing products ecosystem.
• GAF: North America's largest roofing materials manufacturer supplying shingles and commercial roofing systems. GAF is a material supplier to Nelson and a fixture of the broader roofing ecosystem in which Nelson operates.
• Siplast: Specialty roofing and waterproofing systems manufacturer offering SBS modified bitumen and other commercial-grade roofing solutions. Acts as a materials supplier to commercial roofing contractors like Nelson on institutional and large-scale flat roofing projects.
• Soprema: Major manufacturer and installer of waterproofing and roofing membrane systems (SBS, PVC, TPO) used extensively by Nelson on flat roofing projects. Soprema is a key supplier and adjacent ecosystem participant — their systems underpin much of Nelson's commercial flat roofing work.

Broad incumbents

• CentiMark Corporation: North America's largest commercial roofing contractor with service across the US and Canada offering installation, repair, and maintenance. Competes with Nelson for commercial and institutional roofing contracts at a national scale with broader geographic reach.
• Tremco Roofing: Large North American commercial roofing and building envelope solutions provider with proprietary roofing systems and broad service portfolio. Tremco operates as a broad incumbent, offering both materials and installation, competing for the same institutional and commercial roofing RFPs as Nelson but at significantly larger scale.
• Tecta America: Large US-based commercial roofing contractor with national footprint offering installation, maintenance, and emergency repair services. Comparable to Nelson's commercial roofing focus but operating at much broader geographic and customer scale.

Direct peers

• Can-Sky Roofing & Sheet Metal: BC-based roofing and sheet metal contractor serving residential and commercial markets across Western Canada. Closely comparable to Nelson in geographic footprint, service mix (roofing + sheet metal), and mid-market institutional customer focus.
• Flynn Canada: Canada's largest commercial roofing contractor with national presence offering roofing, cladding, and building envelope services. Flynn is the most directly comparable peer given similar commercial/industrial/institutional customer focus and unionized trades workforce, though at significantly larger national scale than Nelson.
