Our Heat Illness Prevention campaign educates workers on the dangers of working in the heat. Through training and informational sessions, and social media, messaging workers and management will know how to protect workers from heat. Here are a few ways we encourage working safely into the last stretch of summer.
"Even though we can’t ever replace Castulo, my family is forever grateful to the McGlothlin’s & Empire Roofing & how they helped us get through this difficult time. I am blessed to follow my dad’s legacy and I am very proud to be here."
- Rachel Pedroza, Second generation empire family member
"They are our family. They are such a big part of us. Without them, we wouldn't have our company. They had given a lot to us, and we just owed it to them to give back."
- Sandra Sedillo-McGlothlin , 2018 interview with Fort Worth Magazine
We are pleased to announce that Tecta America Company LLC has recently acquired Empire Roofing, Inc. and all its U.S. based affiliate roofing operations. Effective today July 20th our business operations for Empire Roofing will begin conducted as:
Empire Roofing, A Tecta America Company.
Our roofing company began its professional endeavor in 1982. Its growth over the past 39 years has been predominantly internal, stemming from the referrals of our client base and those of other professionals. The growth and development of our professional staff has evolved in a similar manner. We have attracted high-quality, committed professionals, and invested in their training, development, and growth. As a result of those efforts, we have experienced great growth over the past several years. This has been directly related to the success of our clients in their business growth throughout the years.
We have decided to seek a merger with Tecta America Co. because we believe that a larger organization will allow us to provide a wider array of services and more depth. As you know, in our area of the country finding and retaining excellent people is a constant challenge. A larger organization will also mean our associates will benefit from even more and stronger business opportunities.
Tecta America Co. shares the same values we do. We conducted an extensive search within our region looking for an opportunity like this. Tecta America Co. exceeded our hopes for a partner we can combine with and continue the tradition we have for excellent service, deep expertise, and an environment our clients and associates want to be a part of.
Our existing staff will be able to provide you many new services and areas of expertise in the future. We look forward to discussing those in more depth with you. However, there are several things we want to point out that will not change:
• Empire Roofing founders and Partners will continue to lead this dedicated and talented team
• You will continue working with the same people at Empire Roofing that you have in the past.
• All our employees will remain in their current roles.
• The services we have provided you in the past will continue to be offered.
• Management will continue providing exceptional service in all areas.
We will continue to operate from our current offices. All the contact information for us will remain the same.
We want to personally say a big Thank You for your continued business, and we look forward to our continuing relationship.

Empire Roofing President Ronnie McGlothlin started in the roofing industry at age 13 and began Empire Roofing in 1982. It grew from being a small subcontractor to having 14 locations throughout the country
Ronnie McGlothlin worked for his father as a laborer at the age of 13, moving up to become a traveling foreman at the age of 18 and then a superintendent. By the time he was in his early 20s, he was making more money than ever, was just married, and drove a 1978 Trans Am he paid for himself. But something felt off.
Deep down, he knew the roofing industry could be better. A year-and-a-half later, he set out to make it happen, and when he told his bosses he was quitting, he received all the inspiration he needed.
“I gave them my two-week notice and they were kind of smart asses about it and said, ‘Well, I think we pay you too much money, you can come back begging for a job,’” he said. “If I ever had any motivation ever in my life, it was like, ‘I wasn’t going back.’”
