Over the years, Roofing Contractor.com has reported on the issues and trends facing both residential and commercial roofing professionals across the country. Their State of the Industry Report, now in its 11th year, outlines the challenges and issues faced by roofing professionals, as well as the residential and commercial roofing trends being observed.
Overall, it appears that the optimism of the past few years is continuing, and roofing professionals remain bullish. However, there is one persistent issue which is still causing angst – the workforce shortage.
10 years ago, things looked bad for the roofing industry. The economy was struggling and the housing market was failing – leaving roofers trying to figure out what was next, and how to survive the recession.
By the end of 2018, however, market research indicated that things were definitely looking up. Clear Seas Research / BNP Media took a long, hard look into the commercial aspects of America’s roofing industry. Respondents represented hundreds of companies across the United States, which ranged from between $1 million and $19.9 million in revenue last year.
Commercial roofing trends seem fairly consistent across the respondents to the survey. What products do roofing professionals expect to generate sales and revenue in the coming years – and what technology will become essential?
57% of commercial roofing contractors believe that national training and certification programs offered by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) will help the industry overall and 69 percent plan on taking advantage of the NRCA’s new Pro-Certification program.
The positive economic and housing forecast is not only inspiring roofing contractors to improve training, products and operations, but is encouraging Venice business and home owners to look at their options for roof repair and new roof installation.
