Maybe we’ve hit bottom and things are on the upswing after all. Time will tell, but it’s hard to look at the data from Roofing Contractor’s most recent State of the Industry survey without concluding that a majority of contractors feel business will improve in the year ahead. Sixty percent of survey respondents believe their sales revenue will increase in 2012. They are even more optimistic about the next few years, and most results from this year’s survey show improvement over last year’s numbers.
This is the fourth year in a row Roofing Contractorand BNP Media Market Research have joined forces to conduct the State of the Industry survey, which is sponsored by GAF. The survey was designed to find out how contractors view the roofing market, see how their businesses were doing, identify product trends, and assess key challenges facing the industry.
