The New Map of Residential Roofing Platforms
There’s been a lot of noise lately about what’s happening in the home improvement and roofing sectors, from company closures to new private equity investments.
To cut through it all, I wanted to take a step back and show what’s actually happening.
Residential roofing has become one of the most active categories for private equity investment and M&A activity in North America. The pace of roofing company acquisitions has accelerated dramatically, creating an entirely new landscape of national platforms and regional partnerships.
Why I Created This Visual
After another week of industry headlines, I wanted a clear way to show just how widespread the consolidation has become.
The image below highlights 25 of the most acquisitive residential roofing platforms, and it’s still not a full picture. Many transactions never get publicly announced.
Each of these platforms represents multiple local brands that have chosen to grow through partnership, investment, and shared systems. Together, they’re reshaping what it means to be a roofing contractor in 2025.

From Fragmented to Organized
For decades, roofing was one of the most fragmented trades in home improvement.
Independent, owner-led businesses dominated the landscape. They built strong reputations in their local markets, but scaling beyond that was tough without access to capital, systems, or management infrastructure.
That’s where roofing private equity groups saw opportunity. By bringing professional systems, shared resources, and long-term capital to established roofing brands, these platforms are building scale where fragmentation once defined the industry.
The results are significant:
Technology adoption – CRMs, production software, and customer engagement tools that improve performance.
Leadership development – professional management layered into owner-led cultures.
Capital support – growth funding for expansion, training, and tuck-in acquisitions.
This isn’t just consolidation for consolidation’s sake, it’s a structural shift in how roofing companies grow.
Not All Roofing Platforms Are the Same
It’s easy to lump all “PE-backed” roofing companies together, but that misses the nuance.
Every platform has its own DNA, shaped by its leadership, investors, and purpose. Some are built for long-term stability, mentorship, and craftsmanship. Others chase growth for growth’s sake.
The difference often comes down to intent.
Are they building something sustainable?
Or are they optimizing for a quick flip?
The best roofing M&A outcomes happen when culture and capital align. When investment accelerates growth without eroding what made the business successful to begin with.
Where Roofing M&A Is Headed
We’re witnessing the professionalization of an industry that’s historically been overlooked.
Roofing is no longer purely local. It’s becoming a national ecosystem of brands, connected by shared systems, technology, and leadership.
For roofing company owners, that means more options than ever:
Grow independently and scale your local brand.
Partner with a platform to gain resources and reach.
Or, if you’re ready, explore what your “second bite of the apple” could look like.
This visual isn’t meant to pick winners or losers, it’s meant to bring clarity to the roofing M&A landscape.
Because the roofing industry isn’t consolidating by accident. It’s consolidating by design.
