The COVID-19 pandemic and lack of raw material availability led to unprecedented supply shortages for roofing contractors across the continent, regardless of whether they serve residential or commercial markets. For many roofers, scarce materials led to project delays, cost overruns, layoffs and a lot of headaches that they had to overcome just to get through the year.
