Trying to measure whether or not a year was successful for roofing contractors across the country is a difficult – and some would say unenviable – task. Any number of variables ranging from weather patterns and regional economics, to government regulation and available workforce can significantly impact one’s perspective.
Anecdotally, 2015 was a year of continued optimism, and for many, a period of growth when a return on previous investments started to materialize. One example is RC’s own Top 100 list, which annually ranks contractors based on self-reported revenue. In terms of overall revenue, the 100th spot on the 2015 list (WeatherSure Systems Inc.) generated $10.4 million solely as a commercial contractor, compared to the $7.4 million reported by the contractor with the same ranking (Thoroughbred Contractors) just a year earlier.
