One major factor for this growth is the increased construction activity like roof and gutter replacements. In today’s post, your local gutter installers from Advantage Seamless Gutter discusses how this forecast will affect the operations of contractors. Effects of Gutter Market Growth The increased re-roofing activity influenced the huge sales gains during the 2012-2017 period. The improving economic conditions and the severe weather conditions in the last few years resulted in more re-roofing projects, which typically include gutter replacement. Because of this, it’s expected that replacement will decline in the next years. Moreover, getting agreeable pricing has always been a challenge to contractors. The recent tariffs on steel and aluminum are expected to increase the cost of guttering materials. However, this shouldn’t affect the demand for guttering projects as gutters and downspouts are usually part of major roofing jobs. The material prices affect the choice of gutter type for the projects. Know that you can count on Advantage Seamless Gutters if you’re in need of a quality gutters replacement service.
