Roofing Contractor: Roofing State of the Industry 2015

EagleView’s CEO, Chris Barrow, participated in Roofing Contractor Magazine’s 2015 State of the Industry Report, providing input on the role of technology in the industry.  He says a trend to look for is that of manufacturers and distributors stepping up to make access to technology partners even easier for contractors.

Defining whether or not a year was good or bad is often a matter of one’s perspective. What was a good year for someone in the Northeast might have been a bad one for someone in the Southwest. Listening to everyone’s stories and “averaging” them together, for lack of a better term, can offer a sense of how an industry is doing. Instead of making you go out and talk to everyone to find out how the industry stands, Roofing Contractor decided to save you the effort and bring the people to you with its annual “State of the Industry” report. Okay, we admittedly didn’t go out and talk to everyone about what’s in store for 2015. But aligning the stories you’ll find here with our Survey 2015 offers a good sense of what to expect in the year to come.
