Is Door-to-Door Sales Still Effective for the Roofing Industry?

The traditional door-to-door sales approach is becoming increasingly challenging in the roofing industry. Recent data from U.S. News shows that fewer people, especially younger generations, are answering their doors when a stranger knocks. While nearly 68% of the Silent Generation (those born before 1945) will answer the door, only 43% of Gen Z and 42% of Millennials do the same.
This trend poses a significant challenge for roofing companies that rely on direct, in-person outreach. With many homeowners now ignoring unexpected visitors, it’s time to explore alternative strategies.

As consumer behaviors shift, so must our strategies. It’s not just about knocking on doors—it’s about opening new ones through innovative, customer-focused approaches.
