Have you noticed it feels harder to get homeowners to make a decision lately? Maybe you've watched estimates sit longer than they used to. Maybe you've seen homeowners choose repairs over replacement. Maybe lead costs are climbing while opportunities feel harder to come by. You're wondering... "Is this just happening to me, or is something bigger going on?" I had the opportunity to spend time with roofing contractors from across the country at the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Association Annual Convention. In conversations at the TAMKO booth, during an industry panel, and at a private gatherings with contractors, I kept hearing these same 3 themes over and over again. And while none of us has a crystal ball, these trends may be signaling something important about where our industry is today and where it could be heading next. In this new video, I break down: 1) How homeowners are using AI to compare and choose roofing estimates 2) How sales cycles are stretching to two and even three years in some markets 3) How and why repairs are becoming a larger part of the conversation as homeowners delay replacement decisions Most importantly, I share what I believe the opportunity is for roofing companies willing to adapt. The question isn't whether opportunity exists. The question is whether we're preparing ourselves for what's next. P.S. Are you searching for a community of contractors focused on navigating challenges, sharing what's working, and building stronger roofing businesses together?
