Sell My Roofing Business
Roofing is a project-based category with distinct insurance-driven and retail sub-markets. Deal multiples reflect this — lower on average than recurring-revenue home services, higher for operators who've solved insurance-carrier relationships.
Whether you sell for the top of the range or the bottom is decided months before you go to market. Roofing M&A activity has picked up meaningfully, driven by hurricane and hail-storm cycle demand in the Southeast and Sun Belt. Multiples trend lower than HVAC or pest control (project-based revenue is harder to underwrite), but well-run operators with insurance-carrier relationships and non-retail-only revenue mix command premiums.
