Whether you're renovating your home or building a new one from scratch, we know that you and your loved ones are eager to see your finished roof. Currently, homeowners, homebuyers, and even builders are frustrated because of delays in the roofing industry. If you're someone who's frustrated with the pace of your project, here's what you need to know about the delays impacting our industry:

Currently, roofers are dealing with the reality that there is a substantial skilled labor shortage. There are a variety of reasons why this labor shortage has become an issue. For example, there has been a shift in the kind of work that Millennials and Gen Z perform. Now that older workers are retiring, the younger generation isn't filling all the empty spots that retired workers have left. When this happens, it's harder for roofing companies to complete their clients' projects as fast as they could with a full team of employees.

It's not possible to complete a project if the roofer doesn't have the materials that they need. Right now, there is a shortage of aluminum and other materials in the industry. With high wait times for simple materials, it is taking longer than usual for roofers to complete their jobs. The world has been unpredictable for the past few years, and like the supply chain issues in other industries, sometimes roofers cannot predict when a certain material is going to come back in stock.
