![Construction News Image](https://www.construction.co.uk/newsimages/1_254143_Roofing-Megastore.jpg)
Taking on a construction project can be daunting, whether it be a small gardening project or large kitchen renovation. Despite this, a growing number of homeowners are choosing to undertake their own home improvements, largely due to the increased availability of 'how to' guides online and reduced consumer confidence causing people to tighten their purses.
Roofing Megastore has witnessed this boom first-hand, having shipped in excess of 250,000 products to over 12,000 customers. The majority of these customers are homeowners who are taking on small roofing projects themselves, typically reroofing a shed or constructing a polycarbonate shelter.
Whilst they have data to suggest a healthy portion of their customers still seek the advice of a tradesman, the Banbury-based supplier of roofing materials is ready to provide one-to-one support to DIYers. This includes an award-winning Customer Care Team and steady flow of how-to guides to inspire homeowners.
"When buying high involvement products online customers are often overloaded with information," said Managing Director Gian Carlo-Grossi, "we commit considerable resources into simplifying that information and providing a seamless user experience. When combined with our dedicated Customer Care Team, we believe this provides homeowners with the confidence they need to turn their DIY dreams into reality."
With the DIY market witnessing continued growth, Roofing Megastore aims to expand their offering to consumers. Not only will this involve welcoming leading brands onto their website, such as Redland and Britmet, but continuing to remove the confusing lingo that often leaves homeowners bewildered.
The company also has hopes of going beyond roofing to expand their offering to both DIYers and tradesman. Having witnessed almost 300% growth over the past 12 months, there is little doubt that Roofing Megastore will inspire more homeowners to take on their projects throughout 2019.
