Trusted by Canadian construction companies, roofing contractors, and industrial enterprises
Branded workwear construction roofing: Branded workwear for construction and roofing companies refers to company-logoed uniforms, safety-rated high-visibility apparel, and work clothing designed for job site conditions.
It meets safety compliance requirements while presenting the company professionally to clients and prospects on every site where the crew works.
Every job site is a marketing surface. A roofing crew working on a residential street is visible to dozens of neighbours, potential customers who have been thinking about their own roof for three seasons.
What that crew wears, and whether it communicates a professional, well-organised company.
Affects how many of those potential customers pick up the phone.Branded workwear for construction and roofing companies is part of the operating standard , it carries safety compliance and brand presence on every job site at the same time.
Willwerth Promotions sources, brands, and supplies workwear programs built for the demands of the trade, from branded work shirts and fleece to CSA-compliant high-visibility gear carrying your company's logo.
What Willwerth Promotions does for construction and roofing workwear programs
Custom embroidered work shirts and polos. Branded shirts are the foundation of any construction or roofing uniform program.
We source from apparel suppliers with product lines built for trade work: heavier weight fabrics, better construction at the seams, moisture management for physical labour.
Logo embroidery is applied to chest and optionally to sleeve and back, with placement and sizing reviewed for durability and visibility before the run commits.
Branded fleece and outerwear. Canadian winters make quality branded outerwear more than a nice-to-have.
We source mid-layer fleece and outer shells suited to outdoor work conditions, with embroidery or heat transfer decoration that holds up through repeated washing and outdoor exposure.
A crew that looks consistent and professional in the shoulder season and winter months as well as summer builds a stronger brand impression than one that reverts to mismatched personal clothing when it gets cold.
High-visibility and safety-rated workwear. CSA-rated high-visibility vests, shirts, and jackets for regulated job sites.
We source through established safety apparel product lines and advise on decoration placement that maintains the garment's compliance rating while making the company brand visible.
Logo placement on high-vis gear needs to be managed carefully to avoid covering reflective tape, which would compromise the garment's rating.
Caps and branded headwear. Construction site headwear, from branded baseball caps to hard hat accessories.
Caps are among the highest-impression branded items in any trade context because they are worn in public constantly and face-forward to anyone the crew encounters.
Standing program management. For companies with ongoing hiring or seasonal crew scale-ups, we warehouse branded workwear inventory at our North York facility and fulfil individual orders as new crew members join.
This eliminates the procurement scramble that happens when a new hire starts and no branded gear is ready.
Workwear brands we supply
Our apparel supply chain includes the same workwear brands your crew already wears.
Carhartt and Dickies are two of the most requested names in Canadian construction workwear, and both are available with custom embroidery through our program.
That means your crew gets gear they already trust, decorated with your company brand, managed through a single program rather than sourced piecemeal through retail.
Beyond those names, our network covers a broad range of workwear product lines suited to construction, roofing, and industrial environments:
- Heavier-weight canvas work pants
- FR-rated shirts for environments where flame resistance is required
- Thermal base layers for cold-weather outdoor work
Programs can mix apparel across brands and product types based on role requirements and budget.
Branded gear for every role on the crew
From the foreman handing out signage at the gate to the apprentice swinging a hammer in custom embroidered hi-vis, every crew member carries the brand into public view.
Willwerth Promotions sources, decorates, and ships the full mix below as one program out of our North York warehouse.

A workwear program is the foundation. Most clients add the mix below as their program matures, all managed under one account.
How a typical workwear program works
We start with the brief: company brand standards, the specific job site environments the gear needs to work in, the size range of the crew, and whether compliance requirements apply.
From that brief, we recommend specific products, decoration methods, and placement specifications.
Once the program specification is confirmed, we manage production, quality check at receipt, and either distribute to the company directly or stage in our North York warehouse for ongoing individual fulfilment.
For seasonal programs, we time the production to ensure gear is ready at the start of the season rather than arriving mid-season when it does the least good.
Reorders are straightforward once the program is established: same specifications, same suppliers, same digitization file for embroidery. The setup investment happens once.
The full branded range: cap, tote, tumbler, hoodie, notebook, socks.
Compliance and safety: what to know
On regulated job sites in Canada, high-visibility apparel must meet CSA Z96 requirements for the hazard class of the site.
Class 1 is for low-risk environments, Class 2 for moderate-risk, and Class 3 for the highest-risk conditions such as highway work.
The class requirement affects the fluorescent background area and retroreflective tape requirements of the garment.
Adding brand decoration to compliant high-vis gear is permitted with careful placement.
The decoration must not cover retroreflective tape, must not significantly reduce the fluorescent background area, and must not use colours that could be confused with the fluorescent colours required by the standard.
We advise on all three constraints before decoration specifications are finalized.
For companies working on federally or provincially regulated sites, maintaining documentation that the gear supplied meets the applicable standard is advisable.
We can provide product compliance documentation for safety-rated apparel on request.
Why decoration method matters for trade workwear
Embroidery is the right decoration method for most construction and roofing branded workwear.
It is the most durable option, surviving repeated industrial washing, physical abrasion, and outdoor conditions without fading or peeling.
For logos without fine detail or photographic complexity, embroidery consistently outperforms print methods over the lifetime of the garment.
Screen printing is a better option for high-visibility or high-volume runs where the primary requirement is bold identification across a large area.
A crew shirt with a large back print of the company name is effectively served by screen printing.
A subtle chest logo on a premium fleece is better served by embroidery.
For high-vis gear where the fabric base is a safety-rated material, heat transfer methods are often used because they do not create the raised surface of embroidery that can interfere with the reflective properties of the garment in specific conditions.
We advise on the appropriate method based on the specific product and compliance context.

What branded workwear does Willwerth Promotions supply for construction and roofing companies?
Willwerth Promotions supplies branded work shirts, polos, fleece, outerwear, high-visibility vests and jackets (CSA-rated where required), and caps for Canadian construction and roofing companies.
Decoration methods include embroidery, screen printing, and heat transfer, selected based on the garment type and job site conditions.
Can branded construction workwear meet Canadian safety standards?
Yes. CSA Z96-compliant high-visibility garments can carry brand decoration provided the placement does not compromise retroreflective tape coverage.
Willwerth Promotions advises on compliant decoration placement for safety-rated workwear and can provide product compliance documentation on request.
What decoration method should I use for construction workwear?
Embroidery is the most durable option for most construction workwear, handling repeated washing and physical wear without fading.
Screen printing is better for large-area identification prints at lower per-unit cost.
For high-vis safety garments, heat transfer is often used to maintain the garment's compliance properties.
How does Willwerth Promotions manage workwear for a construction company with multiple crews?
Willwerth Promotions warehouses standing inventory at our North York facility and fulfils individual orders as new crew members join or items need replacement.
Seasonal scale-ups are managed with advance production scheduling, eliminating the procurement scramble when crews expand and no branded gear is ready on day one.
What are minimum order quantities for custom branded work shirts?
Most suppliers have minimums of 12 to 24 pieces for embroidered work shirts. First orders require a one-time digitization setup fee for the embroidery file.
Subsequent reorders of the same design do not repeat this cost.
Larger initial orders reduce per-unit cost and minimize reorder frequency for standing programs.
How long does a branded workwear order take for a construction company in Canada?
Standard domestic orders with embroidery or screen print decoration run two to four weeks from artwork approval and sizing confirmation to delivery.
Programs during peak season (spring, early summer) may run slightly longer.
Standing programs with warehoused inventory can fulfil individual additions within days.
