Market insight

Computed from the component scores below — not written by hand, and not generated.

Oshkosh, WI has an unusually large pool of addressable homes, a climate that works the building envelope hard and housing old enough to be replacing on a short cycle. That works out to 38,820 addressable homes and an effective replacement cycle of about 23 years, or $32M of roofing a year.

Against that, the market has little storm activity to pull work forward and little new construction. Worth evaluating, though not obviously ahead of the alternatives — on these figures the market is raising its hand, not jumping out of its seat.

Oshkosh Roofing market — common questions

The questions worth answering before committing capital to a market.

How big is the Oshkosh roofing market?

The Oshkosh-Neenah, WI metro generates roughly $31.95M of roofing demand a year, across about 1,947 jobs. That combines replacement work on the existing housing stock — 38,820 homes that can buy this service, cycling at the typical replacement interval — with roofing work on new construction. A single operator serving part of the metro can realistically reach $17.57M of it.

Is Oshkosh a good roofing market to expand into?

Oshkosh scores 58.4 out of 100 for roofing, which ranks it 243 of 935 US metro areas. Oshkosh, WI has an unusually large pool of addressable homes, a climate that works the building envelope hard and housing old enough to be replacing on a short cycle.

How many roofing contractors are in Oshkosh?

There is no metro-level count of roofing firms specifically — the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes establishments at the trade-group level. For the Oshkosh-Neenah, WI metro that is 249 specialty-trade contracting establishments (NAICS 238, covering roofing, siding, windows, gutters and the other exterior trades). That works out to 190.1 owner-occupied homes per contractor — the higher that number, the less crowded the market.

How old is the housing stock in Oshkosh?

The average home in the Oshkosh-Neenah, WI metro is about 50.1 years old, and 58% of homes predate 1980. The median year of construction is 1975 — that figure and the average age are two different statistics and will not line up exactly, because the average is a weighted mean across every construction-year band while the median is only the midpoint. Housing age is the single strongest driver of roofing replacement demand, because roofs, siding and windows are replaced on a cycle rather than bought on impulse.

Where does this Oshkosh market data come from?

Public sources only: the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey and Building Permits Survey for housing and households, the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages for contractor counts, and NOAA Storm Events and Climate Normals for hail and weather exposure. Market sizing applies published replacement cycles and average ticket prices to that stock — it is a model, not a measurement, and every assumption is visible inside the interactive report.

Is the Oshkosh Roofing market report free?

Yes. This page and the full interactive Oshkosh roofing market file are open access — no account, no card and no sales call. The methodology, including every weight and known limitation, is published in full.

Data sources

Public data only. No proprietary panels, no estimates of estimates — every figure on this page traces to one of these.

Figures reflect the most recent published vintage of each source as of 2026-08-13. Market sizing is a model, not a measurement: it applies replacement cycles and average ticket prices to the housing stock. Service areas are whole metros, so a single branch serving a drive-time radius will address less than the totals shown.
