Waiting until the deadline to get your Boulder Shake roof replaced may end up costing you money. There are three things that drive up roofing prices, material, labor and operational cost increases.

Roofing material prices are driven by petroleum and other energy related costs. The roofing industry experiences material rate increases every year. The increases in material cost are usually about 5 to 7 percent a year. There have been some years where material costs have gone up 30 to 40 percent. This happened during the last oil crisis where petroleum prices went through the roof. We are still an oil dependant world and this happening again is not unthinkable.
Right now there is an abundance of skilled workers. The hope is that our economy is on the rebound. As the economy improves the workforce shrinks and labor costs go up.
There is one thing that will come with an improving economy and that is inflation. The cost to operate a business will go up with inflation.

Avoid the rush and save some money by doing your roofing project now.
