2025 Commercial Roofing Trends Report
Roofing Contractor’s 2025 Commercial Roofing Trends Report highlights a cautious optimism across the industry: a majority of commercial roofing contractors anticipate sales growth, even as they confront formidable headwinds in the workforce and rising costs heading into 2026. In plain terms, demand for commercial roofing remains strong, but labor availability and cost pressures are shaping how projects are priced, scheduled, and executed.
For building owners and property managers, this outlook has real-world implications. If contractors expect growth despite tighter labor and higher costs, it likely means firms will be selective about scheduling, crews will be in high demand, and quotes may reflect elevated material and labor expenses through the next business cycle. Planning early, clarifying scope, and prioritizing maintenance can help keep projects on track and budgets predictable. The report’s findings suggest that proactive facility strategies—such as bundling repairs, addressing small issues before they escalate, and mapping out multi-year capital plans—will be increasingly important as the market stays busy and costs remain elevated.
