A coalition of industry trade associations representing contractors, consultants and manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada completed its latest Quarterly Market Index Survey for Reroofing for the second quarter of 2024. The survey takes the pulse of the reroofing industry on a quarterly basis and serves as a regular barometer of the industry’s business conditions.
Seventy-seven percent of survey responses came from contractors and 23% came from roof consultants.
Some top line excerpts of the survey are:
Thirty-five percent of all respondents indicated their customer inquiries increased during the second quarter of 2024 compared with the same quarter in 2023. Thirty-one percent of respondents reported a decrease in customer inquiries during the same period, and 33% indicated no change in activity.
Project contracts increased for 32% of respondents and decreased for 32% of respondents; 35% reported no change.
Twenty-six percent of roofing contractors reported no project backlogs, 39% reported project backlogs of one to two months and 18% reported project backlogs of three to four months. Sixteen percent of roofing contractors reported project backlogs of five months or more.
Thirty-two percent of respondents reported that the volume of materials installed increased during the second quarter of 2024 compared with the same quarter in 2023. Thirty-eight percent of respondents reported a decrease in materials during the same period, and 30% indicated no change.
Additionally, two indices offer insight regarding customer inquiries and project contracts across market segments. The indices are based on a 0 to 100 scale. A score of 50 or higher suggests expansion or optimism; a score below 50 indicates contraction or pessimism.
The customer inquiries index score is 36 for the steep-slope reroofing market; 53.7 for the low-slope reroofing market; and 56.3 for the blended low- and steep-slope reroofing market. The project contracts index score is 38 for the steep-slope reroofing market; 53 for the low-slope reroofing market; and 51.9 for the blended low- and steep-slope reroofing market.
The complete results of the Quarterly Market Index Survey for Reroofing are available to those who participate in the survey via an online dashboard that enables users to filter results by region and other metrics. Contractors and consultants who want to participate in next quarter’s brief survey can sign up for a notification.
The survey is an industry-wide effort spearheaded by a coalition of trade associations, including the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, Canadian Roofing Contractors Association, Chemical Fabrics & Film Association Inc., EPDM Roofing Association, International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants, Metal Construction Association, NRCA, National Women in Roofing, Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association, RoofersCoffeeShop and Single Ply Roofing Industry.
