Although tax savings might not be a core focus of their work, with some smart moves, business owners can take advantage of expense reductions to take more money home for them and their employees. This is especially beneficial in the metal roofing industry, where profit margins can quickly shrink due to ballooning materials costs and installation challenges.
Section 179 of the IRS tax code offers a unique opportunity for metal roofing contractors to slash their tax payments and set their businesses on the path to success.
As a sister company to New Tech Machinery, Sheffield Metals understands all the ins and outs of portable rollforming. In this article, we’ll look at why Section 179 is important for metal roofing contractors and how to make the most of this tax break.
What Is Section 179?
Section 179 is a part of the IRS tax code, designed to help small and mid-sized businesses invest in themselves. Section 179 allows you to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying business equipment from gross income in the year it’s placed into service — even if it’s financed or leased – instead of at a depreciated rate over several years. The limit for deductions is $1,250,000 for 2025.
To put it simply: If you buy and use a qualifying machine before December 31st, you can deduct the entire cost from your gross income on this year’s taxes – up to the IRS spending limits for 2025.
Just remember, Section 179 is a “use it or lose it” benefit — to qualify for its tax advantages, your new NTM rollformer must be purchased and placed into service before year-end.
Why Section 179 Matters for Contractors
- Immediate Tax Relief: Deduct up to the full cost of your NTM portable rollformer in the year of purchase.
- Cash Flow Benefits: Lower your taxable income and reduce your overall tax bill.
- Practical Reinvestment: Redirect tax savings into growing your business, whether through labor, tools, or marketing.
Example scenario: A contractor purchases a $100,000 NTM rollformer and puts it into service before December 31. Under Section 179, they may be able to deduct the full $100,000 from taxable income — potentially saving tens of thousands of dollars, depending on their tax bracket.
