The roofing market, county by county

Public data answers a question no roofing site does: how many roofing companies are there for the homes in your county? We joined the Census Bureau's business counts with housing units and the NOAA hail record for 25 counties. The median county has 5,189 homes per roofing company. Where the number is far higher, crews are stretched after every storm.

Only counties already open on our hail history pages are listed, and more open every week. Companies are employer establishments; roofers working alone are not in the Census count.
