Is the world really this crazy? With #RolfTheRoofingGuy

Is the world really this crazy?

What does that question mean to you?

Since January we have seen rapid inflation:

· Steel Up 145%
· Lumber Up 125%
· Epoxy Resin Up 60%
· Fuel Up 50%

The cost of fuel is important, that one thing just has resulted in the cost of getting anything to market to rise by 50%. Check it out the next time you’re at the grocery store.

Where are we as an industry, if you’re planning a new roof this year? Expect:
· Long Lead Times
· Rapid Material Price Inflation (Up to 300% for some materials)

Be Patient if you have a project underway, there will be delays, but it will get done.

Plan ahead, if you don’t have a project committed yet, or it may not get done this year.

We discussed a month ago that we were starting to see disruptions for roofing materials, in the meantime its’ worsened, and it appears that it will get much worse in the near term.

If any of this resonates with you or you’d like a deeper industry update, let me know.
