Do you consider yourself an optimist? If you don’t, but are a commercial roofing contractor, you might want to reconsider. That’s because if there was one unifying theme to summarize the results of Roofing Contractor’s 2017 Commercial Roofing Trends Study, it’s optimism. Rick Damato, RC’s editorial director, probably said it best when he saw the results, “Our respondents are bullish on the overall market for 2018 and the next three years.”
This is the second consecutive year of this particular study, and like last year, it focused exclusively on the commercial side of roofing. That’s not to say respondents couldn’t be involved with residential roofing, we simply only wanted their thoughts regarding the commercial segment of their businesses.
