The following report was aggregated by the research team at Syntech Roofing & Waterproofing, a licensed building envelope contractor (CA LIC #1108385) serving commercial and institutional property owners throughout Southern California, drawing on industry revenue benchmarks, federal employment data, and contractor survey results compiled between 2023 and October 2026. The dataset pulls from IBISWorld's September 2026 U.S. roofing industry analysis, Verisk's 2026 U.S. Roof Report based on actual insurance claims data, Roofr's 2025 Industry Report covering more than 10,000 roofing businesses, and verified P&L benchmarks from roofing operators across the $1M–$40M+ revenue range. The tables below provide a current breakdown of roofing company average revenue by business size, job type, and geography.
Roofing Company Revenue by Business Size
The table below draws on data from Roofing Contractor Magazine's 2026 State of the Industry Report, PipelineOn's 2026 financial analysis, and Roofr's 2025 Industry Report, which surveyed roofing business owners with a median of 15 or more years in the trade. All revenue figures represent annual gross revenue, not net income.
The Average Roofing Company Revenue by Business Size — 2026
| Company Size | Crew / Truck Count | Annual Revenue Range | Typical Net Margin | Owner Take-Home |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solo Operator | 1 truck | $400K–$750K | 5–8% | $50K–$80K |
| Small | 2–3 trucks | $1M–$3M | 7–11% | $80K–$150K |
| Medium | 11–50 employees | $3M–$10M | 9–13% | $150K–$300K |
| Large | 51–100 employees | $10M–$25M | 8–12% | $300K–$600K |
| Enterprise | 100+ employees / multi-location | $40M+ | 12–18% (top quartile) | $1M+ |

The U.S. roofing contractor industry generated $92.5 billion across 106,000 businesses in 2026. Simple division produces an average of roughly $873,000 per company. That figure is skewed heavily upward by large national operators; a small number of companies generating $100M–$2B+ pull the average well above what a typical contractor earns. The median annual revenue for established roofing businesses is $5 million, based on Roofr's 2025 survey of owners with 15 or more years in the trade.
Revenue per employee is a more reliable benchmark for comparing operational efficiency across company sizes. The target is $340,000 in annual revenue per employee; companies running below that number are typically underpricing, understaffed, or both.Franchise roofing operations, which benefit from standardized systems and marketing support, average $1,362,000 in annual gross revenue.
Net margin does not scale automatically with revenue. A solo operator running tight at 10% net on $600,000 generates more profit than a 10-truck shop running at 4% net on $7 million. At every revenue tier, the variable that most reliably separates high earners from low earners is overhead control, not company size.
Average Revenue per Roofing Job by Type
Not all roofing work generates the same revenue per job. The table below compares average job revenue, gross margin benchmarks, and market share across the most common job types.
The Average Roofing Revenue per Job by Type — 2026
| Job Type | Average Revenue per Job | Typical Gross Margin | Share of National Jobs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential Roof Replacement | $17,631 | 35–45% | Largest segment by volume |
| Residential Roof Repair | $4,699 | 45–55% | High frequency |
| Insurance Restoration | $15,000–$40,000 | 30–40% | 38% of all jobs nationally |
| Small Commercial | $50,000–$200,000 | 28–38% | Growing segment |
| Large Commercial / New Construction | $200,000+ | 20–30% | Revenue-heavy, lower margin |
Sources: Verisk 2026 U.S. Roof Report; CEO Finance Academy (2026); Roofr 2025 Industry ReportThe average residential roof replacement reached $17,631 in 2025, a 33% increase from the 2021–2024 average. The jump reflects rising material costs and a shift toward larger, more complex storm-damage claims. Average roof repair came in at $4,699, up roughly 25% over the same period. Both figures come from Verisk's 2026 U.S. Roof Report, which is based on actual insurance claims data rather than contractor surveys.
Insurance restoration work accounts for 38% of all roofing jobs nationally, and a higher share in storm-prone states like Florida and Texas. For building envelope contractors offering roof restoration services alongside standard re-roofing, average job revenue tends to run higher, since restoration scopes bundle coatings, waterproofing, and sealant work into a single contract.
Residential repairs carry the highest gross margin of any job type at 45–55%, but the lowest revenue per job. Contractors who build a repair and maintenance pipeline alongside replacement work benefit from higher-margin recurring revenue. That recurring revenue also smooths out the seasonality that affects replacement-heavy operations in most U.S. markets.
Top U.S. Roofing Markets by Revenue Opportunity
Revenue potential varies significantly by geography, driven by housing stock age, storm activity, population growth, and commercial construction density. The table below ranks the top U.S. markets by revenue opportunity, using employment concentration, company count, and demand drivers as benchmarks.,,
The Top U.S. Roofing Markets by Revenue Opportunity — 2026
| State / Region | Key Revenue Driver | Roofer Employment Share | Top Cities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Florida | Hurricane and hail damage; year-round insurance replacements | 18.6% of all U.S. roofers | Miami, Tampa, Orlando |
| California | High property values; wildfire risk; commercial density | 9,000+ roofing companies | Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose |
| Texas | Hailstorms; fast-growing metro populations | Top 3 nationally | Dallas, Houston, Austin |
| Midwest (OH, IL, IN) | Freeze-thaw cycles; aging housing stock | Illinois: 4.6% of U.S. roofers | Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis |
| Georgia | Population growth; active storm season | Southeast's top market | Atlanta, Savannah |
| Southeast (SC, NC, TN) | Storm damage; expanding suburban housing | Fast-growing region | Charlotte, Nashville, Columbia |
Sources: IBISWorld (September 2026); ConsumerAffairs (2026); Roofr, "Top Markets for U.S. Roofing Contractors in 2026"Florida accounts for 18.6% of all U.S. roofing employees, driven by hurricane exposure and near-constant demand tied to insurance claims. High job volume gives Florida contractors significant revenue opportunity, though average margins can compress in the most competitive metro areas due to contractor density.
California holds a different profile: 9,000+ roofing companies competing in a market defined by high property values, wildfire-driven restoration demand, and a dense commercial and institutional building stock. Southern California specifically generates strong demand for full-building envelope scopes, including sealants and coatings and below-grade waterproofing alongside traditional roofing replacement.
The Midwest remains one of the most consistent regional markets in the country. Freeze-thaw cycles, hail events, and one of the oldest housing stocks in the U.S. produce reliable replacement and repair demand regardless of new construction activity. Contractors in Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana benefit from lower competition intensity than coastal markets while serving a large base of aging residential and commercial roofs.
Top U.S. Roofing Companies by Annual Revenue
At the top of the industry, a small number of large operators capture a disproportionate share of total revenue. The table below shows the five highest-revenue roofing contractors in the U.S., drawn from LeadsMunch's 2027 rankings.
The Top 5 U.S. Roofing Companies by Revenue — 2026
| Rank | Company | Annual Revenue | Primary Segment | Headquarters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Leaf Home | $2.09B | Residential | Toledo, OH |
| 2 | Tecta America | $1.6B | Commercial | Chicago, IL |
| 3 | Roofing Corp of America | $652M | Commercial (90%) | Atlanta, GA |
| 4 | Greenwood Industries | $350M | Commercial | Worcester, MA |
| 5 | Omnia Exterior Solutions | $335M | Residential (80%) | Trophy Club, TX |
The combined revenue of the top 102 ranked roofing contractors is approximately $13.4 billion, meaning the industry's largest players control about 14.5% of the $92.5 billion market. The remaining 85%+ of revenue is distributed across the other 105,000+ businesses in the U.S., confirming that roofing remains a highly fragmented industry with no dominant national player.
By company count, residential-led firms make up the majority of ranked contractors (58 of 102). By revenue, commercial work accounts for roughly 55% of total dollars among the top companies. Large commercial platforms like Tecta America move high revenue through relatively few locations, while residential operators rely on higher job volume at lower per-job averages.
The median revenue of a company appearing in the top 102 rankings is approximately $50.5 million. That number provides a clear anchor for what it takes to reach recognized national standing in the industry and underscores that the vast majority of roofing businesses operate in the sub-$10M range.

The data across this report points to three consistent findings. First, the $873,000 simple average revenue per roofing company in 2026 overstates what most contractors earn; the median for established businesses is $5 million, and the majority of the industry's 106,000+ operators work in the $1M–$3M range. Second, job type determines margin as much as volume: residential repairs generate the highest gross margin at 45–55%, while large commercial and new construction work sits at 20–30%, meaning a high-revenue operation is not necessarily a high-profit one. Third, geography drives revenue ceiling as much as any operational variable; Florida, California, and Texas collectively account for the highest roofing revenue concentration in the country, with Southern California standing out for the depth of its commercial and institutional demand for full building envelope services.
For contractors in Southern California, the data also points to a clear opportunity: diversifying beyond residential replacement into restoration, coatings, and waterproofing raises average job revenue, improves margin mix, and reduces dependence on seasonal replacement cycles. Building envelope contractors who service the full exterior system are positioned to capture more revenue per property than those working a single trade.
