Roofing Contractors in Canada Industry Data and Analysis
Canada’s roofing contractor industry has navigated five years of turbulence marked by material price volatility, labour shortages and surging demand driven by severe weather events. The current period saw demand spike as hailstorms, high winds and flooding caused billions in insured damages, creating repair backlogs that exceeded available labour capacity. Meanwhile, pandemic-era supply chain disruptions sent the prices of asphalt, metal and tile roofing materials soaring, squeezing contractor profitability and delaying key projects. Rising interest rates through 2023 temporarily dampened residential renovation activity, though aging housing stock and deferred maintenance continued to support demand. By 2025, roofing contractors will increasingly rely on technology such as drones, AI-powered estimating tools and digital project management platforms to offset workforce constraints and enhance operational efficiency. Revenue has been expanding at a CAGR of 3.9% and is expected to reach $13.6 billion in 2025, when revenue will rise by an estimated 0.4%.
