Calgary Roofiing Contractors

Calgary Roofing Contractors in this Changed Economy

Springs here, rains on it's way and Calgary's roofing market is once again getting hot. It's go time for Calgary roofing contractors.

But what's in store for the season? Is the government tax credit really going to boost the home renovations market? Is Calgary's new construction market ever going to pick up to the 2006 volume levels? How is the average conractor going to make it through this slower season?

There's a lot of questions in the air, and one sure way to find out the answers. Wait and see! For now though, here's some predictions based on our industry experience.

1. Calgary Roofing Contractors with poor business plans are in serious trouble. As the real estate guru Don Campbell said, "when the tide goes out, we see who was swimming naked"

2. The government tax credit is indeed boosting the home owner action in the roofing market. The Roof Hospital http://www.calgary-roofing.com/ has certainly seen home owners talk about it during nearly every estimate given out

3. This market has provided some excellent opportunities. Owners of roofing companies can hire cheaper labour, and consumers will reap the rewards. Not to mention suppliers are working to gain the business of more contractors, resulting in a somewhat reduced price on products

Change is certainly in the air, the heavy hand of government interference in the economy has hit hard. Let us be grateful indeed we are in Canada, Calgary at that, one of the most well insulated economies in the world.

Calgary's residential roofing market however is headed for a strong year. There's a lot, and a lot of older pine and cedar products which have reached the age to be replaced. Combined with the tax credit and lowered labor prices, professional roofing companies are in for a healthy year overall. The other guys, well, are in for a tough time. Service, trust and professionalism is the name of the game once again. Gone are the days of showing up late for appointments and still getting the job. Be on time. Be professional. Be honest and do good work, and all's well.
