What does this mean for South Florida homeowners and roofing professionals
Date: May 2025
Type: Roofing News
In a move set to reshape the roofing and building materials landscape, QXO, Inc. has officially acquired Beacon Roofing Supply in a deal valued at approximately $11 billion. This acquisition establishes QXO as the largest publicly traded distributor of roofing and waterproofing products in North America.
The final offer, totaling $124.35 per share, represents a modest increase from QXO’s earlier bid and values Beacon at roughly 10.8x projected 2025 EBITDA. What does “10.8x projected 2025 EBITDA” mean?
It means the purchase price QXO is paying for Beacon Roofing Supply is 10.8 times what Beacon is expected to earn in EBITDA for the year 2025. Industry insiders expect the acquisition to drive improved distribution efficiencies and broaden access to roofing materials across the country.
While this headline might sound like boardroom news, the effects will be felt at the local level, especially in active markets like South Florida. Contractors, distributors, and property owners alike could see changes in pricing, availability, and service delivery.
With Beacon’s 600+ locations now under QXO’s management, roofing contractors may experience faster access to shingles, insulation, and accessories, especially ahead of hurricane season — a critical factor in regions like Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach.
QXO’s scale may enable bulk purchasing power and enhanced logistics, potentially reducing material costs for contractors. Over time, this could result in better project pricing for homeowners, especially during high-demand periods.
QXO aims to expand tech platforms like Beacon PRO+, streamlining how contractors manage orders, scheduling, and materials. This tech adoption may lead to faster job completion and more transparent communication between the roofer and the homeowner.
No matter how distribution shifts, the contractor you choose remains the key decision. At Earl W. Johnston Roofing, we’re proud to maintain:
GAF Master Elite® Contractor status — allowing us to offer the Golden Pledge® Warranty with up to 50 years of material and 25 years of workmanship coverage.
CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster™ status — enabling enhanced SureStart PLUS™ protection for residential reroofs.
While QXO and Beacon evolve behind the scenes, we continue delivering reliable, certified service backed by the industry’s strongest warranties.
As QXO settles into its role as a distribution giant, further consolidation in the roofing supply market may follow. But whether you’re a homeowner replacing your roof or a property manager preparing for hurricane season, what matters most is who installs your system, not who delivers it.
