If you’ve been putting off a roofing project, scheduling it as soon as possible could save you money in the long run. Sam Boak, owner and president of Boak & Sons, is encouraging homeowners to act quickly as industry challenges continue to drive up roofing costs with no sign of relief.

Why Roof Prices Keep Climbing

Roofing costs have been on a steady incline for the past several years, and unfortunately, they’re not coming back down. Rather than dropping after a surge, prices tend to level off briefly before climbing again. Here’s why:

1. Material Prices Keep Rising

From asphalt shingles to drip edge metal, the cost of core roofing components is increasing. Petroleum-based products, such as asphalt, are directly tied to oil prices, which remain volatile. Additionally, fiberglass and other materials have experienced spikes in demand due to production delays and rising manufacturing costs.

2. Labor Shortages

There’s a growing gap between the demand for skilled roofing professionals and the number of workers entering the trade. We pay competitive wages to retain top talent. Fewer people are entering into skilled trades than ever before, making experienced labor harder and more expensive to maintain.

3. Lingering Supply Chain Disruptions

Although some supply issues have improved post-pandemic, the roofing industry still faces delays and added costs associated with shipping, fuel, and trucking shortages. The result? Extended wait times and unpredictable pricing can be a concern for homeowners who hold off too long.

Take Control,  The Summer Rush Has Hit!

Sam Boak recommends scheduling your roofing inspection and estimate before the peak season begins. Once summer arrives, contractors’ calendars fill up, and costs can increase due to demand.
