2023 Roofing Industry Trends

It is no surprise that, in today’s business world, customers and companies alike are looking to create high-quality and long-lasting roofs with cost-effective and money-saving materials. The cost of utilities and labor continue to rise, and many commercial customers are looking for roofs that are not only made from cost-effective materials, but also materials that will reduce the cost of day-to-day business operations in the long run. The rising trends we are seeing in roofing in 2023 all have one thing in common: they offer a unique way to save the customer money, either in roof construction or day-to-day operations.

1. Solar Integration

Solar panels and solar integration into commercial roofs has grown in popularity over the last few years, but we forecast that this will grow more popular in 2023 than ever. Solar panels on a roof can generate electricity for a business to supplement or replace traditional sources of energy. This style of roof is not only good for the customer, but also the environment. Plus, with many federal, state, and local programs encouraging businesses to become more energy efficient, this may be a great opportunity for your business to take advantage of any tax credits, rebates, or benefits when it comes time to upgrade your roof.

2. Eco-friendly materials

Many customers are interested in roofs made of eco-friendly materials, such as synthetic roofs made from recyclable materials. These synthetic roofs do not require petroleum-based materials, making them better for the environment and more affordable than traditional roofing materials. Synthetic slate is a popular option of synthetic roof that provides a classic slate appearance to any roof.

3. Colorful Metal Roofs

Metal roofing is certainly an industry staple and will still be as popular as ever in 2023—but with all the new metal coatings and customization options available, companies will utilize their roofs to stand out with bold color choices.

4. Skylights

While skylights have always offered an aesthetic benefit to residential and commercial roofs alike, skylights are now growing in popularity thanks to their energy-efficiency and cost-saving features. Skylights allow light into a building, making turning on the lights and increasing your electricity bill less necessary than a traditional roof.
