As the calendar turns, the beginning of a new year offers a moment to reflect on progress and set clear priorities for the months ahead. For Big Rock Supply, 2025 was a year defined by growth, stronger partnerships, and a continued commitment to supporting roofing and construction professionals with reliable products, knowledgeable service, and a focus on jobsite safety.
As we move into 2026, our mission remains the same, build on what we’ve accomplished and continue delivering the tools, safety solutions, fasteners, and sealants our customers rely on every day.
Fall Safety: A Clear Priority for 2026
Fall protection remains one of the most critical safety concerns in the roofing and construction industries. Throughout 2025, OSHA reports continued to highlight fall-related violations as one of the most common and most preventable jobsite hazards.
For Big Rock Supply, these findings reinforce the importance of starting the new year with a stronger focus on safety at height. Proper fall protection isn’t optional; it’s essential to protecting the working men and women who perform demanding tasks every day.
From harnesses and lifelines to anchors and rooftop safety solutions, Big Rock Supply is committed to helping contractors enter 2026 safe, protected, and prepared. When safety is prioritized, crews can focus on productivity and everyone goes home safely.
Growing Our Team to Better Serve Our Customers
One of Big Rock Supply’s key accomplishments in 2025 was expanding our team of knowledgeable professionals. We welcomed several new outside sales representatives whose experience extends beyond our local market into additional states and regions.
This expansion was driven by one goal: better service. Our customers benefit from working with representatives who understand product applications, fastening systems, and real-world jobsite challenges. By strengthening our sales team, we’ve become more versatile, more responsive, and better equipped to provide dependable support without compromise.
Expanded Product Lines for Modern Jobsites
In 2025, we also expanded our product lineup to meet the evolving needs of roofing and construction professionals.
We were proud to introduce DEWALT fasteners to our lineup bringing trusted performance and proven reliability to a wide range of applications. Backed by experienced sales professionals with deep fastening knowledge, DEWALT fasteners allow us to provide informed recommendations and job-ready solutions.
We also expanded our offerings with additional OMG Roofing Fasteners and Plates featuring products from the OlyBond® system. As a long-time partner, OMG Roofing is a trusted and respected brand. Adding more of their solutions strengthens our ability to serve the roofing market with proven, high-quality products.
Introducing RACE HPS Sealant and Adhesive
The RACE product line continued to grow with the addition of RACE HPS, a high-performance specialty sealant and adhesive designed for demanding roofing and construction applications.
RACE HPS delivers strong initial grab, long-term durability, and excellent weather resistance. It’s built for sealing, bonding, and repairs in both interior and exterior environments, making it a dependable, no-nonsense solution professionals can trust on challenging jobsites.
