Assessing
the state of the roofing industry — across many markets with so many
challenges emerging in how roofers operate — continues to be a lodestar
for Roofing Contractor. In addition to the annual survey circulated last fall, which generated our 2023 State of the Industry Report, RC also caught up with industry leaders asking for their perspectives. As part of RC’s
continuing coverage, learn what several executives had to say about the
past year, what they expect in 2023, and where they see the industry
heading.
Gunner Smith (GS):
We heard from distributors that there was some easing of some of the
tightness felt in the market in 2022. We didn’t experience that, as
roofing contractors continued to ask for our products and our plants
performed very, very well … despite being very tight for the most part
in 2022.
