Special trade contractors primarily engaged in the installation of roofing, siding, and sheet metal work. Sheet metal work performed by plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors in conjunction with the installation of plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning equipment are classified in Industry 1711.
The roofing, siding, and sheet metal work industry is experiencing several notable qualitative trends. An increased focus on sustainability and energy efficiency is driving the demand for eco-friendly roofing and siding materials. Homeowners and businesses are seeking options such as cool roofs, green roofs, and solar-integrated roofing to reduce energy costs and environmental impact. In addition, technological advancements are playing a significant role, particularly in the adoption of drones for roof inspections and augmented reality for project visualization, enhancing precision and customer satisfaction.
Additionally, there is a growing trend toward customization and aesthetic enhancement. Clients are looking for unique designs and materials that add curb appeal and property value. The use of high-quality, durable materials like metal and composite siding is becoming more common, as these materials offer longer life spans and lower maintenance costs.
Looking ahead, the industry is expected to see continued growth, supported by increasing construction activities and the need for renovation of aging infrastructure. Labor shortages may pose challenges; however, innovations in equipment and training programs are anticipated to help bridge the gap. As sustainability and smart technology continue to gain momentum, companies that adapt and innovate are likely to thrive in the coming years.
