Many
businesses — even entire industries — felt the impact of a strained
economy punctuated by record inflation, spiking interest rates and
overarching fears of a national recession in 2023. Still, commercial
roofing contractors didn’t appear to be among them. Both anecdotally and
undergirded empirically by data compiled late this year, commercial
roofers are confident about their chances for success in 2024 and
beyond.
“Business is gangbusters right now,” said Dave Reginelli,
president and CEO of Tecta America. The international commercial roofing
contractor led RC’s 2023 Top 100 List with a record $1.2
billion in revenue last year. “Supply chains have loosened, up we’re
hitting on all cylinders, and our backlog isn’t at record levels, but
it’s very close.”
