Are Roofing Shingles in Short Supply Due to the COVID-19 Restrictions?

Contents

COVID has taken a lot of things away this year, and humanity is just now getting used to the changes. However, some industries like the roofing and construction industry, were hit pretty hard.

 

The supply of some roofing materials has always been limited, either because it had to be procured from abroad, or because the material requires a complex manufacturing process that makes it difficult to produce. Whichever the case, imagine the shortage that used to be present doubled, tripled and then multiplied to reflect a concerning truth: COVID-19 has led to the shortage and subsequent increase in price of roofing materials.

 

In the construction industry, there is a current increase in price by about 15-20% on average, and things don’t seem to be getting better. Also, lumber prices have skyrocketed, so if you need repairs to your decking or if you’re looking for a wooden roof, then it could be a lot more expensive than what you remember.

 

Fortunately, roofing contractors and manufacturers are very resourceful, and the problem can be solved through technology, as many new synthetic products are able to mimic the properties of wood and other roofing and construction materials that might currently be in a state of shortage. Also, the COVID restrictions will be lifted eventually, so most of the solutions that have to be found right now are largely temporary.  Get the help you need at https://www.roofonemichigan.com/elmhurst-mi-roofing-experts.html.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
