Leadership Shaped by Four Decades in Spray Foam Roofing
To launch its Foam-It-Right® podcast, Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA) turned to the industry’s heavy hitters —including Wedge Roofing President/CEO Gary Harvey to discuss what’s ahead for the spray foam industry at the SprayFoam 2026 Convention & Expo.
Harvey, who serves as Treasurer on the SPFA Board of Directors, brings more than 40 years of roofing industry experience. As an early adopter of Spray Foam Roofing, he has been instrumental in advancing it into the most effective flat roofing solution, delivering seamless insulation and long-term performance. Under Harvey’s leadership Wedge Roofing has won thirteen National Spray Foam Industry Excellence Awards.
“Every contractor says they have the most skilled craftsmen and use the best products. What truly sets you apart is having independent, third-party certification that verifies it.” —Gary Harvey
Why Certification Matters
Harvey describes Wedge Roofing’s path to becoming California’s first spray foam roofing contractor to qualify for SPFA’s top certifications for both project managers and installers.
He explains why SPFA’s Professional Certification Program matters, outlining how it strengthens credibility and distinguishes qualified contractors.
Certification, he notes, plays a critical role in differentiating contractors. Verified training and independent, third-party credentials provide clear, objective proof of technical competence and commitment to quality. Through education, certification, and leadership, Harvey continues to advocate for a stronger, more professional future for spray foam roofing.
Industry Perspective on SprayFoam 2026
During the podcast, Harvey reflects on the evolution of the SprayFoam Convention into the industry’s primary venue for education and professional exchange, bringing together contractors, manufacturers, and leaders committed to advancing best practices. As the spray foam roofing market continues to grow, he notes that consistency and accountability have become just as critical as technical skill.

The episode concludes with an overview of Harvey’s upcoming teaching sessions at SprayFoam 2026. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, his sessions are designed to support contractors as they navigate best practices, avoid common pitfalls, and build long-term success in the spray foam roofing industry.
