As we head into 2025, we’d like to thank our customers for the opportunity to partner with you on commercial, industrial, institutional and multi-tenant properties from our roofing contractors in Toronto. We are proud of being a member of the Toronto building community for three generations, and we couldn’t do it without your confidence and trust. Here are some of our company’s highlights from 2024.
We expanded our team
Emanuela Savio
We pride ourselves on exceptional customer service and are fortunate to have Emanuela join us as the accounts receivable and service dispatch coordinator. Emanuela and her family relocated to Canada from Italy in 2016.
Formerly an administrative assistant and interpreter for the Italian government, her love of languages and experience working with the public has led to a smooth integration into Canadian culture and the Elite Roofing team. Alongside her professional pursuits, Emanuela has a deep love for music, dancing, traveling, and crafting delicious Italian meals for her husband and two boys.
Introducing our new YouTube channel
We are excited to announce our new Elite Roofing and Contractors YouTube Channel to help educate our customers about roofing trends, topics and techniques to maximize the value of their commercial roofing investments.
Our valued partner, Ladybugz Interactive, together with Main Paige Media, produced our first set of YouTube videos in June. We welcomed them to Toronto to capture a first-hand view of our jobsite at the Eitz Chaim School – Kolel Ohr Yosephl (80 Yorkhill Boulevard), a private Orthodox Jewish elementary school and adult learning centre.
Videos produced from this visit provide a taste of videos to come. You’ll see clips of our team members discussing specific roofing elements, engineering issues, and how to construct a durable, high-performing roof.
Here are a few of the videos resulting from Ladybugz’s visit.

Hear from Elite’s second-generation family leadership
Elite Roofing, established in 1956 by Abram Glowinsky z’l, is in its third generation of family leadership. During Ladybugz’s visit, we were especially pleased to create a YouTube video featuring Ike Glowinksy, the founder’s son. Ike is father and mentor to Howard Glowinsky, the third generation of Elite family leadership. Ike’s perspectives provide a more personal insight into how we got started and our continued values of excellence and integrity.

Clients rely on us to provide sound roof engineering options, often in challenging circumstances. This job required overcoming thorny issues related to timing, accommodating tenants, maximizing ground storage, and creating a smooth working process.
Toronto is our home
Serving the Toronto building community is a responsibility we take very seriously. The health of our community requires that individuals and businesses give back. It has been a mitzvah and joy to contribute to and volunteer for causes that benefit our neighbors in Toronto, Canada, and beyond.
One of our favorite projects this year was working with the Jewish Youth Network (JYN) to support building their beautiful new JYN Robbins Family Campus. We have been involved with JYN for many years. We are honored that they asked us to be part of creating this worthwhile facility.
Thank you for putting your trust in our roofing contractors in the GTA
For nearly 70 years, our family business has thrived by focusing on superior craftsmanship and integrity. We are committed to continuing our family legacy of strengthening the GTA community in the spirit of partnership and innovation.
2024 was a year of success, filled with exciting opportunities to work with landlords, property owners, engineers, partners and others in the construction orbit. We look forward to working with you again and wish you health, happiness and prosperity in the coming year.
Happy New Year!
From the Glowinsky family and the entire Elite Roofing team!
