By national ratios Palma supports about 190 full-time roofer pros — enough for a real local trade with specialists, not just generalists. That is larger than most Spain cities we cover. 67 % of homes are owner-occupied, so the work skews toward owners who decide and pay themselves — repairs, upgrades and maintenance plans. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.

Palma's old-town (Casc Antic) buildings use tile roofs requiring heritage-aware repair, and coastal UV and salt accelerate membrane and tile degradation on exposed properties. Island material lead times affect roofing-supply procurement, and waterfront properties face the harshest salt-weathering.
