Gaco recently recognized the 2025 recipients of its Gaco Top Contractor program with a celebratory trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The Gaco Top Contractor program recognizes standout licensed contractors for their excellence in installing roofing, decking, and waterproofing systems solutions for the building envelope.

In its first Top Contractor event since launching its unified brand identity earlier this year, Gaco brought together all 20 honorees and their guests for an unforgettable experience in Mexico. The celebration, held during the third week of March, featured luxury accommodations, scenic excursions, and networking opportunities with fellow Top Contractors and Gaco leadership.

The three-day event was also a meaningful moment in Gaco’s rebrand journey. Lauren Pagano, president of Gaco and Enverge at Holcim Building Envelope, addressed the full group during a welcome reception, sharing the vision behind Gaco’s Formulating Everyday Success philosophy and reinforcing how the new brand architecture — from foundation to rooftop — was designed with contractors’ needs in mind.

“This year’s Top Contractor celebration holds special meaning as it marks our first under Gaco’s unified brand architecture,” said Pagano. “These outstanding professionals represent the very best of our industry—and their commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service embodies the spirit of Gaco’s new identity.”

Top Contractors are selected based on performance metrics such as purchase volume of Gaco and compliance with warranty and application standards. The program reflects Gaco’s commitment to providing beyond-the-bucket support, ensuring that customers receive not only trusted real-world products but also deep technical expertise.

The refreshed brand architecture that Gaco released in February 2025 is another example of the brand’s contractor-first approach. Seven connected yet distinct sub-brands now streamline product selection and enhance accessibility for contractors and other industry professionals.
