The pandemic really took a toll on the economy and has tremendously impacted local businesses.
For instance, there is a shortage of workers in the HVAC industry and there is also a shortage of materials. This means that customers aren’t receiving service as quickly as they should. In fact, there are some places where customers are having to wait up to a week to get their HVAC units serviced or fixed. A week is a long time to live without a means of heating or cooling your home. Thankfully, there are some portable equipment on the market that can work as a short term substitution. Can’t say the same if you have an issue with your roof. If there is a leak, it’s better to get it fixed sooner than later. Unfortunately, just like the HVAC industry, the roofing industry has been impacted by the pandemic as well. Currently, there is a shortage of materials as well as a shortage of labor to perform roofing repairs. The shortage of labor is becoming a major issue for the roofing industry. This means that customers are having to wait longer for repairs. In addition to the supply chain issue, the prices of the materials have risen over the last two years. And unfortunately, that extra cost will trickle down to the customers as well. The unfortunate part about this is, no one can predict what’s to come. If we continue on this trajectory through 2022, then the roofing industry will continue to suffer major blows. Let’s just hope that things return to normal sooner than later.
