Industry Coalition Urges Roofing Professionals to Participate in Quarterly Market Index Survey for Reroofing

A coalition of industry trade associations representing roofing contractors, consultants and manufacturers throughout the United States and Canada launched the Q3 2022 Market Index Survey for Reroofing on October 3. The roofing industry will accept survey responses from October 3 to October 17. The survey — which can be completed in less than five minutes — takes the pulse of the reroofing industry on a quarterly basis and serves as a regular barometer of the industry’s business conditions. 

“The Market Index Survey for Reroofing fills an important gap in construction data by providing the industry and other stakeholders with information on trends and outlooks for both steep and low-slope roofing,” said Justin Koscher, President of the Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association (PIMA). “Survey participation from roofing professionals across the United States and Canada is critical in order to continue providing a comprehensive market assessment that gives an accurate indication of the industry’s trajectory.” 

The quarterly survey asks respondents to answer questions regarding customer inquiries, project contracts and length of project backlogs. In turn, the roofing industry can provide detailed information on year-over-year trends and generate indices that capture industry sentiments for future reroofing activity. Roofing contractor and consultants doing business in the U.S. and Canada are encouraged to fill out the survey. Quick and straightforward, the survey takes less than five minutes to complete.
