Currently local roofing companies in the Youngstown Ohio area are seeing an increase in roofing materials, some as high as 15%. While shingle prices are increasing as they do usually every year, this is not the only hurdle that roofing companies are facing. There is also a supply shortage. Shingle manufactures like Owens Corning, & CertainTeed have not been able to operate at full capacity, and as a result there has been a shortage of materials. EAS Roofing is fortunate enough to have been working with the only supplier that decided to make a "Big Buy" before the Covid 19 really effected our industry. B & L Wholesale has had 100% of the materials to install a roofing system to EAS Roofing's standards, allowing them to continue providing the Sure Start Plus warranty to homeowners around the Youngstown area.
As fall weather starts expect to see the increase in pricing for your roof replacement. Every year the roofing industries have seen a slight increase in pricing, weather oil prices are to blame or a huge hail storm prices always seem to raise. EAS Roofing interviewed a "old time roofer" from the Pittsburgh area and he stated "I never thought i see the day when roofing prices would be so expensive." Its one of the reasons local Youngstown roofers are offering financing. It allows you to take advantage of todays pricing and pay for it next year. EAS Roofing has seen an increase of financing being used by there local Youngstown residents.
So to answer the question "Is Covid 19 hurting the roofing industry?"... yes, and no. While yes supply shortages could stop our business from operating all together. We are also seeing homeowners getting work performed on their homes more because they are at home more. Instead of going on the vacation that they had planned they are deciding to invest it into a new roof, its just one less thing they have to worry about. If your in the local Youngstown area and looking for a new roof for a great price call the "Youngstown Roofer" at (330)227-2559 and dont forget to ask about the special financing.
