The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has affected roofing, as it has many other major sectors within construction and out. Stay-at-home directives and social distancing mandates have slowed both new and retrofit projects in both the residential and commercial arenas.
However, the slowdown and stalling of roofing projects has been highly dependent on region, as state and local representatives enacted lockdowns, some deeming construction an essential business and others not. As the states work individually to re-open on their own timelines, that too affects roofing activity regionally.
