Accounting Policies [Abstract]
GENERAL INFORMATION	GENERAL INFORMATION Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for NCI Building Systems, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated, the “Company,” “NCI,” “we,” “us” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Operating results for the fiscal three month period ended January 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending October 30, 2016 . Our sales and earnings are subject to both seasonal and cyclical trends and are influenced by general economic conditions, interest rates, the price of steel relative to other building materials, the level of nonresidential construction activity, roof repair and retrofit demand and the availability and cost of financing for construction projects. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 1, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 22, 2015. Reporting Periods We use a four-four-five week calendar each quarter with our fiscal year end being on the Sunday closest to October 31. The year end for fiscal 2016 is October 30, 2016 . Stock Ownership On August 14, 2009, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (as amended, the “Investment Agreement”), by and between the Company and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VIII, L.P. (“CD&R Fund VIII”). In connection with the Investment Agreement, the CD&R Fund VIII and the Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Friends & Family Fund VIII, L.P. (collectively, the “CD&R Funds”) purchased convertible preferred stock, which was later converted to shares of our common stock on May 14, 2013. As of January 31, 2016, the CD&R Funds beneficially owned a total of 58.8% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. See “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 1, 2015, as filed with the SEC, for a description of the rights held by the CD&R Funds under the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement.

ACQUISITIONS

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS	ACQUISITIONS Fiscal 2016 acquisition On November 3, 2015, we acquired manufacturing operations in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada for cash consideration of $2.2 million , net of post-closing working capital adjustments. This business allows us to service customers more competitively within the Canadian and Northeastern United States insulated metal panel (“IMP”) markets. Because the business was acquired from a seller in connection with a divestment required by a regulatory authority, the fair value of net assets acquired exceeded the purchase consideration by $1.9 million , which was recorded as a gain from bargain purchase in the consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of this acquisition as of November 3, 2015, as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 805, are as follows (in thousands): November 3, 2015 Current assets $ 307 Property, plant and equipment 4,810 Assets acquired $ 5,117 Current liabilities assumed 380 Fair value of net assets acquired $ 4,737 Total cash consideration transferred 2,201 Deferred tax liabilities 672 Gain from bargain purchase $ (1,864 ) The results of operations for this business are included in our metal components segment. Pro forma financial information and other disclosures for this acquisition have not been presented as it was not material to the Company’s financial position or reported results. Fiscal 2015 acquisition On January 16, 2015, NCI Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Steelbuilding.com, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of NCI Group, Inc., completed the acquisition of CENTRIA (the “CENTRIA Acquisition”), a Pennsylvania general partnership (“CENTRIA”), pursuant to the terms of the Interest Purchase Agreement, dated November 7, 2014 (“Interest Purchase Agreement”) with SMST Management Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation, Riverfront Capital Fund, a Pennsylvania limited partnership, and CENTRIA. NCI acquired all of the general partnership interests of CENTRIA in exchange for $255.8 million in cash, including cash acquired of $8.7 million . The purchase price was subject to a post-closing adjustment to net working capital as provided in the Interest Purchase Agreement, which we settled during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 for additional cash consideration of approximately $2.1 million payable to the seller, which approximated the amount we previously accrued. The purchase price was funded through the issuance of $250.0 million of new indebtedness. See Note 12 — Long-Term Debt and Note Payable. CENTRIA is now an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of NCI. Accordingly, the results of CENTRIA’s operations from January 16, 2015 are included in our consolidated financial statements. For the three months ended January 31, 2016 and the period from January 16, 2015 to February 1, 2015, CENTRIA contributed revenue of $53.9 million and $8.5 million and operating income (loss) of $1.4 million and $(0.8) million , respectively. CENTRIA is a leader in the design, engineering and manufacturing of architectural IMP wall and roof systems and a provider of integrated coil coating services for the nonresidential construction industry. CENTRIA operates four production facilities in the United States and a manufacturing facility in China. We report on a fiscal year that ends on the Sunday closest to October 31. CENTRIA previously reported on a calendar year that ended December 31. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, the unaudited pro forma financial information presented below for the three month periods ended January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015 assumes the acquisition was completed on November 2, 2014, the first day of fiscal year 2015. This unaudited pro forma financial information does not necessarily represent what would have occurred if the transaction had taken place on the dates presented and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments for interest expense to match the new capital structure and amortization expense for identified intangibles. In addition, acquisition related costs and $16.1 million of transaction costs incurred by the seller are excluded from the unaudited pro forma financial information. The pro forma information does not reflect any expected synergies or expense reductions that may result from the acquisition. The following table shows our unaudited pro forma financial information for the three month periods ended January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015 (in thousands, except per share amounts): Unaudited Pro Forma Fiscal Three Months Ended January 31, February 1, Sales $ 370,014 $ 367,029 Net income (loss) applicable to common shares 5,835 (12,062 ) Income (loss) per common share: Basic $ 0.08 $ (0.17 ) Diluted $ 0.08 $ (0.17 ) The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the CENTRIA Acquisition as of January 16, 2015 as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 805. The fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed were finalized during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, including certain contingent assets and liabilities and the post-closing working capital adjustment, which did not result in any material adjustments during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. As we continue to integrate CENTRIA into our existing operations, we may identify integration charges that would be required to be recognized. (In thousands) January 16, Cash $ 8,718 Current assets, excluding cash 74,725 Property, plant and equipment 34,127 Intangible assets 128,280 Assets acquired 245,850 Current liabilities 61,869 Other long-term liabilities 8,893 Liabilities assumed 70,762 Fair value of net assets acquired 175,088 Total cash consideration transferred and payable 257,927 Goodwill $ 82,839 The amount allocated to intangible assets was attributed to the following categories (in thousands): Useful Lives Backlog $ 8,400 9 months Trade names 13,980 15 years Customer lists and relationships 105,900 20 years $ 128,280 These intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis, which is presented in intangible asset amortization on our consolidated statements of operations. The backlog intangible asset was fully amortized during fiscal 2015. We also recorded a step-up in inventory fair value of approximately $2.4 million in fiscal 2015, which was recognized as an expense in fair value adjustment of acquired inventory on our consolidated statements of operations upon the sale of the related inventory. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. The intention of this transaction was to strengthen our position as a fully integrated supplier to the nonresidential building products industry, by enhancing our existing portfolio of cold storage and commercial and industrial solutions, expanding our capabilities into high-end insulated metal panels and contributing specialty continuous metal coil coating capabilities. We believe the transaction will result in revenue synergies to our existing businesses, as well as improvements in supply chain efficiency, including alignment of purchase terms and pricing optimization. We include the results of the CENTRIA Acquisition in the metal components segment. Goodwill of $73.6 million and $9.1 million was recorded in our metal components segment and engineered building systems segment, respectively, based on expected synergies pertaining to these segments from the acquisition. Additionally, because CENTRIA was treated as a partnership for tax purposes, the tax basis of the acquired assets and liabilities has been adjusted to their fair value and goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCMENTS	ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 changes the requirement for reporting discontinued operations. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity will be required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or when it is disposed of by sale or other than by sale. The update also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations, a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements, and an entity’s significant continuing involvement with a discontinued operation. We adopted ASU 2014-08 prospectively in our first quarter in fiscal 2016. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for our first quarter in fiscal 2018 under either full or modified retrospective adoption. Early application is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year. Entities can still adopt the amendments as of the original effective date. ASU 2014-09 is effective for our fiscal year ending November 3, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period . ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation , as it relates to such awards. ASU 2014-12 is effective for our first quarter in fiscal 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement — Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items . ASU 2015-01 eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The guidance is effective for our fiscal year ending October 29, 2017. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as a separate asset. In circumstances where the costs are incurred before the debt liability is recorded, the costs will be reported on the balance sheet as an asset until the debt liability is recorded. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. The update requires retrospective application and is effective for our fiscal year ending October 29, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting), to provide further clarification to ASU 2015-03 as it relates to the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line of credit arrangements. Upon adoption of this guidance, we expect to reclassify approximately $8 million in deferred financing costs as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt liability. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the guidance specifies that the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. ASU 2015-05 further specifies that the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract if the arrangement does not include a software license. The guidance is effective for our fiscal year ending October 29, 2017. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issues ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory that has historically been measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost method should now be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The update requires prospective application and is effective for our fiscal year ending October 28, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . ASU 2015-17 requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be presented on the balance sheet as noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective for our fiscal year ending October 28, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, we will present the net deferred tax assets as noncurrent and reclassify any current deferred tax assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial position on a retrospective basis. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which will require lessees to record most leases on the balance sheet and modifies the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type leases and direct financing leases for lessors. ASU 2016-02 is effective for our fiscal year ending November 1, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The guidance requires entities to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS	RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS As part of the plans developed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 to improve cost efficiency and optimize our combined manufacturing footprint, given the Company's recent acquisitions and restructuring efforts, we incurred severance related costs of $0.5 million and $0.3 million in the engineered building systems segment and metal components segment, respectively, during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 to further streamline our management and our engineering and drafting activities. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we approved a plan to consolidate our three engineered buildings systems manufacturing facilities in Tennessee, closing the Caryville facility. We incurred severance and facility costs at the Caryville facility of approximately $1.6 million during the first three months of fiscal 2015. We completed the closing of the Caryville facility during March 2015 . In addition, during the first three months of fiscal 2015, we incurred severance related costs of $1.5 million , $0.2 million and $0.2 million in the metal components segment, engineered building systems segment and metal coil coating segment, respectively, primarily in an effort to streamline our management and manufacturing structure to better serve our customers. The following table summarizes our restructuring plan costs and charges related to the restructuring plan during the fiscal three months ended January 31, 2016 (in thousands): Fiscal Three Months Ended January 31, Cost Incurred To Date (since inception) Remaining Anticipated Cost Total Anticipated Cost General severance $ 880 $ 4,767 $ 602 $ 5,369 Plant closing severance — 1,575 * * Asset impairments — 5,844 * * Other restructuring costs 630 630 * * Total restructuring costs $ 1,510 $ 12,816 * * * We expect to fully execute our plans in phases over the next 9 months to 36 months and estimate that we will incur future additional restructuring charges associated with these plans. We are unable at this time to make a good faith determination of cost estimates, or ranges of cost estimates, associated with future phases of the plans.

Each terminated executive officer is entitled to severance benefit payments issuable in two installments. The termination benefits were measured initially at the separation date based on the fair value of the liability as of the termination date and are being recognized ratably over the future service period. Costs incurred during the three months ended January 31, 2016 exclude $0.2 million in amortization expense associated with these termination benefits. Remaining severance costs associated with the executive officers of $0.3 million and $0.1 million will be incurred in the metal components segment and engineered building systems segment, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents [Abstract]
RESTRICTED CASH	RESTRICTED CASH We have entered into a cash collateral agreement with PNC Bank to backstop existing CENTRIA letters of credit until they expire. The restricted cash is held in a bank account with PNC Bank as the secured party. As of January 31, 2016 , we had restricted cash in the amount of approximately $0.8 million as collateral related to our letters of credit for international projects with CENTRIA, exclusive of letters of credit under our Amended ABL Facility. See Note 12 — Long-Term Debt and Note Payable for more information on the material terms of our Amended ABL Facility. Restricted cash as of January 31, 2016 is classified as current as the underlying letters of credit expire within one year of the respective balance sheet date. Any renewal or replacement of the CENTRIA letters of credit is expected to occur under our Amended ABL Facility.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE	3 Months Ended

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE	ASSETS HELD FOR SALE We record assets held for sale at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The following criteria are used to determine if property is held for sale: (i) management has the authority and commits to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition; (iii) there is an active program to locate a buyer and the plan to sell the property has been initiated; (iv) the sale of the property is probable within one year; (v) the property is being actively marketed at a reasonable sale price relative to its current fair value; and (vi) it is unlikely that the plan to sell will be withdrawn or that significant changes to the plan will be made. In determining the fair value of the assets less cost to sell, we considered factors including current sales prices for comparable assets in the area, recent market analysis studies, appraisals and any recent legitimate offers. If the estimated fair value less cost to sell of an asset is less than its current carrying value, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value less cost to sell. The carrying value of assets held for sale (representing idled facilities) is $4.0 million and $6.3 million at January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015 , respectively, and these amounts are included in the engineered building systems segment. All of these assets continue to be actively marketed for sale at January 31, 2016 . During the three months ended January 31, 2016, we completed the sale of an idle facility in Lockeford, California, along with related equipment, which had previously been classified in assets held for sale. In connection with the disposal of these assets, we received net cash proceeds of $3.1 million , and recognized a net gain of $0.7 million , which is included in asset recovery in the consolidated statements of operations. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from the estimates used in our historical analysis. Our assumptions about property sales prices require significant judgment because the current market is highly sensitive to changes in economic conditions. We calculated the estimated fair values of assets held for sale based on current market conditions and assumptions made by management, which may differ from actual results and may result in impairments if market conditions deteriorate.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Restricted Stock and Performance Awards Our 2003 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”) is an equity-based compensation plan that allows us to grant a variety of types of awards, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance share units (“PSUs”), phantom stock awards, long-term incentive awards with performance conditions (“Performance Share Awards”) and cash awards. As of January 31, 2016 , and for all periods presented, our share-based awards under this plan have consisted of restricted stock grants, PSUs and stock option grants, none of which can be settled through cash payments, and Performance Share Awards. Both our stock options and restricted stock awards are subject only to vesting requirements based on continued employment at the end of a specified time period and typically vest in annual increments over one to four years or earlier upon death, disability or a change of control. However, our annual restricted stock awards issued prior to December 15, 2013 also vest upon attainment of age 65 and, only in the case of certain special one-time restricted stock awards, a portion vest on termination without cause or for good reason, as defined by the agreements governing such awards. Restricted stock awards issued after December 15, 2013 do not vest upon attainment of age 65, as provided by the agreements governing such awards. The vesting of our Performance Share Awards is described below. In December 2015, we granted long-term incentive awards, with a three -year performance period, to our senior executives (“2015 Executive Awards”). 40% of the value of the long-term incentive awards consists of time-based restricted stock units and 60% of the value of the award consists of PSUs. The restricted stock units are time-vesting based on continued employment, with one-third of the restricted stock units vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The PSUs vest based on the achievement of performance goals and continued employment at the end of the three-year performance period. The PSU performance goals are based on three metrics: (1) cumulative free cash flow (weighted 40% ); (2) cumulative earnings per share (weighted 40% ); and (3) total shareholder return (weighted 20% ), in each case during the performance period. The number of shares that may be received upon the vesting of the PSUs will depend upon the satisfaction of the performance goals, up to a maximum of 200% of the target number of the PSUs. The PSUs vest pro rata if an executive’s employment terminates prior to the end of the performance period due to death, disability, or termination by NCI without cause or by the executive for good reason. If an executive’s employment terminates for any other reason prior to the end of the performance period, all outstanding unvested PSUs, whether earned or unearned, will be forfeited and cancelled. If a change in control of NCI occurs prior to the end of the performance period, the PSU payout will be calculated and paid assuming that the maximum benefit had been achieved. If an executive’s employment terminates due to death or disability while any of the restricted stock units are unvested, then all of the executive's unvested restricted stock units will become vested. If an executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the executive's unvested restricted stock units will be forfeited. If a change in control of NCI occurs prior to the end of the performance period, the restricted stock units fully vest. The fair value of the 2015 Executive Awards is based on the Company’s stock price as of the grant date. A portion of the compensation cost of the 2015 Executive Awards is based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions associated with the respective shares, as determined by management. During the three months ended January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015 , we granted PSUs with a fair value of approximately $5.2 million and $3.9 million , respectively. The fair value of restricted stock units classified as equity awards is based on the Company’s stock price as of the date of grant. During the three months ended January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015 , we granted time-based restricted stock units with a fair value of $3.9 million , representing 304,064 shares, and $4.1 million , representing 237,177 shares, respectively. Also, in December 2015, we granted Performance Cash and Share Awards to certain key employees that will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in stock (“2015 Key Employee Awards”). The amount of cash and number of shares that may be received upon the vesting of these awards will be based on the achievement of free cash flow and earnings per share targets over a three -year performance period. The 2015 Key Employee Awards vest three years from the grant date and will be earned based on the performance against the pre-established targets for the requisite service period. A key employee's awards also vest in full upon death, disability or a change of control, and a pro-rated portion of the key employee's awards may vest on termination without cause or after reaching normal retirement age prior to the vesting date, as defined by the agreements governing such awards. The fair value of the 2015 Key Employee Awards is based on the Company’s stock price as of the grant date. Compensation cost is recorded based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions associated with the shares, as determined by management. During the three months ended January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015 , we granted awards to key employees with equity fair values of $2.4 million and $1.5 million and cash values of $2.1 million and $1.7 million , respectively. During the three month periods ended January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015 , we also granted 28,535 and 10,543 stock options, respectively. The grant date fair value of options granted during the three month periods ended January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015 was $5.38 and $7.91 , respectively. During the three month periods ended January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015 , we recorded share-based compensation expense for all awards of $2.6 million and $2.9 million , respectively. Deferred Compensation The Company's amended Deferred Compensation Plan allowed for the deferral of vested 2012 PSU awards. The Company currently holds 144,857 shares in treasury shares, relating to deferred, vested 2012 PSU awards, until participants are eligible to receive benefits under the terms of the plan. In accordance with the terms of the plan, the deferred compensation obligation related to the Company’s stock may only be settled by the delivery of a fixed number of shares held on the participant’s behalf.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE	EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share, if applicable, considers the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used for the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is as follows (in thousands, except per share data): Fiscal Three Months Ended January 31, February 1, Numerator for Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Common Share Net income (loss) $ 5,892 $ (320 ) Less: Net income applicable to participating securities (57 ) — Net income (loss) applicable to common shares $ 5,835 $ (320 ) Denominator for Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Common Share Weighted average basic number of common shares outstanding 73,261 73,070 Common stock equivalents: Employee stock options 508 — Restricted stock units 2 — Weighted average diluted number of common shares outstanding 73,771 73,070 Basic income (loss) per common share $ 0.08 $ (0.00 ) Diluted income (loss) per common share $ 0.08 $ (0.00 ) We calculate earnings (loss) per share using the “two-class” method, whereby unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are “participating securities” and, therefore, are treated as a separate class in computing earnings (loss) per share. For the three month period ended January 31, 2016 , undistributed earnings attributable to participating securities were $0.1 million . There was no amount attributable to participating securities for the three month period ended February 1, 2015 , as the participating securities do not contractually share in net losses. For the three month period ended January 31, 2016 , all PSUs and Performance Share Awards that are contingent upon the achievement of performance targets as described in Note 8 were excluded from the diluted income per common share calculation as the performance targets were not met as of January 31, 2016. Additionally, the number of weighted average options that were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive represented approximately 0.1 million shares. The number of weighted average Performance Share Awards subject to continuing employment representing approximately 0.1 million shares were also determined to be anti-dilutive, and were not included in the diluted income per common share calculation. For the three month period ended February 1, 2015 , all outstanding options, PSUs and Performance Share Awards were anti-dilutive and, therefore, not included in the diluted loss per common share calculation.

Product Warranties Disclosures [Abstract]
WARRANTY	WARRANTY We sell weathertightness warranties to our customers for protection from leaks in our roofing systems related to weather. These warranties range from 2 years to 20 years. We sell two types of warranties, standard and Single Source™, and three grades of coverage for each. The type and grade of coverage determines the price to the customer. For standard warranties, our responsibility for leaks in a roofing system begins after 24 consecutive leak-free months. For Single Source™ warranties, the roofing system must pass our inspection before warranty coverage will be issued. Inspections are typically performed at three stages of the roofing project: (i) at the project start-up; (ii) at the project mid-point; and (iii) at the project completion. These inspections are included in the cost of the warranty. If the project requires or the customer requests additional inspections, those inspections are billed to the customer. Upon the sale of a warranty, we record the resulting revenue as deferred revenue, which is included in other accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheets. The following table represents the rollforward of our accrued warranty obligation and deferred warranty revenue activity for each of the fiscal three months ended (in thousands): Fiscal Three Months Ended January 31, February 1, Beginning balance $ 25,669 $ 23,685 Warranties sold 746 359 Revenue recognized (862 ) (566 ) Other (1) — 2,357 Ending balance $ 25,553 $ 25,835 (1) Represents the fair value of accrued warranty obligations in the amount of $2.4 million assumed in the CENTRIA Acquisition. CENTRIA offers weathertightness warranties to certain customers. Weathertightness warranties are offered in various configurations for time periods from 5 to 20 years, prorated or non-prorated and on both a dollar limit or no dollar limit basis, as required by the buyer. These warranties are available only if certain conditions, some of which relate to installation, are met. The preliminary fair value of the accrued warranty obligations of $2.4 million reported in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended February 1, 2015 was subsequently adjusted by $0.8 million to $1.6 million during the measurement period for purchase accounting.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS	DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS RCC Pension Plan — With the acquisition of Robertson-Ceco II Corporation (“RCC”) on April 7, 2006, we assumed a defined benefit plan (the “RCC Pension Plan”). Benefits under the RCC Pension Plan are primarily based on years of service and the employee’s compensation. The RCC Pension Plan is frozen and, therefore, employees do not accrue additional service benefits. Plan assets of the RCC Pension Plan are invested in broadly diversified portfolios of government obligations, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, fixed income securities and master limited partnerships. CENTRIA Benefit Plans — As a result of the CENTRIA Acquisition on January 16, 2015, we assumed noncontributory defined benefit plans covering certain hourly employees (the “CENTRIA Benefit Plans”) and are closed to new participants. Benefits under the CENTRIA Benefit Plans are calculated based on fixed amounts for each year of service rendered, although benefits accruals for one of the plans previously ceased. Plan assets of the CENTRIA Benefit Plans are invested in broadly diversified portfolios of equity mutual funds, international equity mutual funds, bonds, mortgages and other funds. CENTRIA also sponsors postretirement medical and life insurance plans that cover certain of its employees and their spouses (the "OPEB Plans"). The following table sets forth the components of the net periodic benefit cost, before tax, and funding contributions, for the periods indicated (in thousands): Fiscal Three Months Ended Fiscal Three Months Ended RCC CENTRIA OPEB Total RCC CENTRIA OPEB Total Service cost $ — $ (3 ) $ 5 $ 2 $ — $ — $ — $ — Interest cost 450 (11 ) 38 477 483 — — 483 Expected return on assets (475 ) 22 — (453 ) (551 ) — — (551 ) Prior service cost amortization (2 ) — — (2 ) (2 ) — — (2 ) Unrecognized net loss 292 — — 292 361 — — 361 Net periodic pension cost $ 265 $ 8 $ 43 $ 316 $ 291 $ — $ — $ 291 Funding contributions $ 211 $ 160 $ — $ 371 $ 234 $ — $ — $ 234 We expect to contribute an additional $0.8 million and $0.5 million to the RCC Pension Plan and the CENTRIA Benefit Plans, respectively, for the remainder of fiscal 2016. Currently, our policy is to fund the CENTRIA Benefit Plans and OPEB Plans as required by minimum funding standards of the Internal Revenue Code. The contributions to the OPEB Plans by retirees vary from none to 25% of the total premiums paid. In addition to the CENTRIA Benefit Plans, CENTRIA contributes to a multi-employer plan, Steelworkers Pension Trust. The minimum required annual contribution to this plan is $0.3 million and the current contract expires on June 1, 2016. If we were to withdraw our participation from this multi-employer plan, we would have a complete withdrawal liability of approximately $0.7 million .

Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The Company may redeem the Notes at any time prior to January 15, 2018, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus the applicable make-whole premium. On or after January 15, 2018, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount thereof) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date of the Notes, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on January 15 of the year as follows: Year Percentage 2018 106.188% 2019 104.125% 2020 102.063% 2021 and thereafter 100.000% In addition, prior to January 15, 2018, the Company may redeem the Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to 40.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes with funds in an equal aggregate amount not exceeding the aggregate proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a redemption price of 108.250% , plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date of the Notes. Credit Agreement The Company’s Credit Agreement provided for a term loan credit facility (“Term Loan”) in an original aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million . The Credit Agreement will mature on June 24, 2019. The Term Loan amortizes in nominal quarterly installments equal to one percent of the aggregate initial principal amount thereof per annum. The Term Loan will bear interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at the Company’s option, either (i) an adjusted LIBOR not less than 1.00% plus a borrowing margin of 3.25% per annum or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin of 2.25% per annum. At both January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015, the interest rate on the Term Loan was 4.25% . Amended ABL Facility The Company’s Asset-Based Lending Facility (“Amended ABL Facility”) provides for revolving loans of up to $150.0 million (subject to a borrowing base) and letters of credit of up to $30.0 million . Borrowing availability under the Amended ABL Facility is determined by a monthly borrowing base collateral calculation that is based on specified percentages of the value of qualified cash, eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, less certain reserves and subject to certain other adjustments. At January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015, the Company’s excess availability under the Amended ABL Facility was $108.7 million and $131.0 million , respectively. At both January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015, the Company had no revolving loans outstanding under the Amended ABL Facility. In addition, at January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015, standby letters of credit related to certain insurance policies totaling approximately $8.7 million and $8.7 million , respectively, were outstanding but undrawn under the Amended ABL Facility. The Amended ABL Facility will mature on June 24, 2019. The Amended ABL Facility includes a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of one to one, which will apply if we fail to maintain a specified minimum borrowing capacity. The minimum level of borrowing capacity as of January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015 was $16.3 million and $19.7 million , respectively. Although the Amended ABL Facility did not require any financial covenant compliance, at January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015, NCI’s fixed charge coverage ratio as of those dates, which is calculated on a trailing twelve month basis, was 3.44 :1.00 and 3.54 :1.00, respectively. These ratios include the pro forma impact of the CENTRIA Acquisition. Loans under the Amended ABL Facility bear interest, at NCI’s option, as follows: (1) Base Rate loans at the Base Rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 0.75% to 1.25% depending on the quarterly average excess availability under such facility, and (2) LIBOR loans at LIBOR plus a margin. The margin ranges from 1.75% to 2.25% depending on the quarterly average excess availability under such facility. An unused commitment fee is paid monthly on the Amended ABL Facility at an annual rate of 0.50% based on the amount by which the maximum credit exceeds the average daily principal balance of outstanding loans and letter of credit obligations. Additional customary fees in connection with the Amended ABL Facility also apply. For additional information on the Notes, Credit Agreement and the Amended ABL Facility, including guarantees and security, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 1, 2015. Debt Covenants The Company’s outstanding debt agreements contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, make acquisitions and engage in mergers. As of January 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants that were in effect on such date. For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 1, 2015. Deferred Financing Costs At January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015 , the unamortized balance in deferred financing costs related to the Notes, Credit Agreement and Amended ABL Facility was $10.6 million and $11.1 million , respectively. Insurance Note Payable As of November 1, 2015 , the Company had an outstanding note payable in the amount of $0.5 million related to financed insurance premiums. Insurance premium financings are generally secured by the unearned premiums under such policies.

Equity [Abstract]
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM	STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM In January 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to an aggregate of $50.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock, which we expect to fund through existing cash and cash flow generated from operations. Subject to applicable federal securities law, such purchases may occur at times and in amounts that we deem appropriate. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we repurchased 0.4 million shares for $3.9 million under this program. As of January 31, 2016, approximately $46.1 million remains available for stock repurchases under the plan authorized in January 2016, and approximately 0.1 million shares remain authorized for repurchase under a previous program. The authorized programs have no time limit on their duration, but our Credit Agreement, Amended ABL Facility, and Notes apply certain limitations on our repurchase of shares of our common stock. The timing and method of any repurchases, which will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, are subject to results of operations, financial conditions, cash requirements and other factors, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. In addition to the common stock repurchased during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 under our stock repurchase programs, we also withheld shares of restricted stock to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units, which are included in treasury stock purchases on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. Subsequent to January 31, 2016 and through March 3, 2016, we repurchased an additional 0.7 million shares for $7.4 million under the January 2016 program.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value as of January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015 because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of the remaining financial instruments not currently recognized at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets at the respective fiscal period ends were (in thousands): January 31, 2016 November 1, 2015 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Credit Agreement, due June 2019 $ 184,147 $ 182,306 $ 194,147 $ 193,662 8.25% senior notes, due January 2023 250,000 253,750 250,000 263,750 The fair values of the Credit Agreement and the Notes were based on recent trading activities of comparable market instruments which are level 2 inputs. Fair Value Measurements ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , requires us to use valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require us to develop our own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015 Money market: Money market funds have original maturities of three months or less. The original cost of these assets approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity. Mutual funds: Mutual funds are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the mutual fund is traded. Assets held for sale: Assets held for sale are valued based on current market conditions, prices of similar assets in similar condition and expected proceeds from the sale of the assets. Deferred compensation plan liability: Deferred compensation plan liability is comprised of phantom investments in the deferred compensation plan and is valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the money market, mutual fund or NCI stock phantom investments are traded. The following table summarizes information regarding our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2016 , segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Short-term investments in deferred compensation plan (1) : Money market $ 612 $ — $ — $ 612 Mutual funds – Growth 678 — — 678 Mutual funds – Blend 2,826 — — 2,826 Mutual funds – Foreign blend 662 — — 662 Mutual funds – Fixed income — 676 — 676 Total short-term investments in deferred compensation plan 4,778 676 — 5,454 Total assets $ 4,778 $ 676 $ — $ 5,454 Liabilities: Deferred compensation plan liability $ — $ 4,685 $ — $ 4,685 Total liabilities $ — $ 4,685 $ — $ 4,685 (1) Unrealized holding losses for the three months ended January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015 were $(0.4) million and $(0.1) million , respectively. These unrealized holding losses are primarily offset by changes in the deferred compensation plan liability. The following table summarizes information regarding our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 1, 2015 , segregated by level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Short-term investments in deferred compensation plan (1) : Money market $ 744 $ — $ — $ 744 Mutual funds – Growth 764 — — 764 Mutual funds – Blend 2,984 — — 2,984 Mutual funds – Foreign blend 724 — — 724 Mutual funds – Fixed income — 673 — 673 Total short-term investments in deferred compensation plan $ 5,216 $ 673 $ — $ 5,889 Total assets $ 5,216 $ 673 $ — $ 5,889 Liabilities: Deferred compensation plan liability $ — $ 5,164 $ — $ 5,164 Total liabilities $ — $ 5,164 $ — $ 5,164 (1) Unrealized holding gain for the fiscal year ended November 1, 2015 was insignificant . This unrealized holding gain was primarily offset by changes in the deferred compensation plan liability. The following table summarizes information regarding our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015 (in thousands): Level 3 January 31, 2016 November 1, 2015 Assets: Assets held for sale (1) $ — $ 2,280 Total assets $ — $ 2,280 (1) Certain assets held for sale were valued at fair value and were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets held for sale are reported at fair value, if, on an individual basis, the fair value of the asset is less than cost. The fair value of assets held for sale is estimated using level 3 inputs, such as broker quotes for like-kind assets or other market indications of a potential selling value which approximates fair value. The assets that were previously reported at fair value as of November 1, 2015 were sold in January 2016. See Note 7 for additional information.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The reconciliation of income tax computed at the statutory tax rate to the effective income tax rate is as follows: Fiscal Three Months Ended January 31, 2016 February 1, 2015 Statutory federal income tax rate 35.0 % 35.0 % State income taxes 3.4 % 5.3 % Domestic production activities deduction (3.2 )% (3.1 )% Non-deductible expenses 0.9 % 0.8 % Adjustment due to tax law change (6.5 )% 25.2 % Nontaxable gain from bargain purchase (1.4 )% — % Tax credits (1.2 )% — % Other 2.4 % (2.8 )% Effective tax rate 29.4 % 60.4 % The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of pre-tax income in the current period and the benefit related to the research and development credit for fiscal years 2015 and 2016 that was permanently extended in the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015, which was signed into law after our fiscal 2015 ended. The effective tax rate for the same period in the prior year was primarily the result of a true-up to the fiscal 2014 income tax provision as a result of the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 that changed our fiscal 2014 tax calculation but was not signed into law until after our fiscal 2014 ended.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

OPERATING SEGMENTS	3 Months Ended

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
OPERATING SEGMENTS	OPERATING SEGMENTS Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities and by which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about how to allocate resources to the segment and assess the performance of the segment. We have three operating segments: engineered building systems; metal components; and metal coil coating. All operating segments operate primarily in the nonresidential construction market. Sales and earnings are influenced by general economic conditions, the level of nonresidential construction activity, metal roof repair and retrofit demand and the availability and terms of financing available for construction. Products of our operating segments use similar basic raw materials. The engineered building systems segment includes the manufacturing of main frames, Long Bay® Systems and value-added engineering and drafting, which are typically not part of metal components or metal coil coating products or services. The metal components segment products include metal roof and wall panels, doors, metal partitions, metal trim, insulated panels and other related accessories. CENTRIA is included in the metal components segment. The metal coil coating segment consists of cleaning, treating, painting and slitting continuous steel coils before the steel is fabricated for use by construction and industrial users. The operating segments follow the same accounting policies used for our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate a segment’s performance based primarily upon operating income before corporate expenses. Intersegment sales are recorded based on standard material costs plus a standard markup to cover labor and overhead and consist of (i) structural framing provided by the engineered building systems segment to the metal components segment; (ii) building components provided by the metal components segment to the engineered building systems segment; and (iii) hot-rolled, light gauge painted and slit material and other services provided by the metal coil coating segment to both the metal components and engineered building systems segments. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash but also include deferred financing costs, deferred taxes and property, plant and equipment associated with our headquarters in Houston, Texas. These items (and income and expenses related to these items) are not allocated to the operating segments. Corporate unallocated expenses include share-based compensation expenses, and executive, legal, finance, tax, treasury, human resources, information technology, purchasing, marketing and corporate travel expenses. Additional unallocated expenses include interest income, interest expense, strategic development and acquisition related costs and other (expense) income. The following table represents sales, operating income and total assets attributable to these operating segments for the periods indicated (in thousands): Fiscal Three Months Ended January 31, February 1, Total sales: Engineered building systems $ 148,975 $ 149,799 Metal components 230,456 172,789 Metal coil coating 51,206 55,610 Intersegment sales (60,623 ) (55,272 ) Total sales $ 370,014 $ 322,926 External sales: Engineered building systems $ 145,950 $ 144,494 Metal components 202,901 154,028 Metal coil coating 21,163 24,404 Total sales $ 370,014 $ 322,926 Operating income (loss): Engineered building systems $ 12,462 $ 8,718 Metal components 16,104 8,336 Metal coil coating 4,819 3,977 Corporate (18,126 ) (16,460 ) Total operating income $ 15,259 $ 4,571 Unallocated other expense, net (6,914 ) (5,381 ) Income (loss) before income taxes $ 8,345 $ (810 ) January 31, 2016 November 1, 2015 Total assets: Engineered building systems $ 204,632 $ 218,646 Metal components 641,064 654,762 Metal coil coating 74,869 81,456 Corporate 96,277 124,865 Total assets $ 1,016,842 $ 1,079,729

CONTINGENCIES

CONTINGENCIES	3 Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
CONTINGENCIES	CONTINGENCIES As a manufacturer of products primarily for use in nonresidential building construction, the Company is inherently exposed to various types of contingent claims, both asserted and unasserted, in the ordinary course of business. As a result, from time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries become involved in various legal proceedings or other contingent matters arising from claims, or potential claims. The Company insures against these risks to the extent deemed prudent by its management and to the extent insurance is available. Many of these insurance policies contain deductibles or self-insured retentions in amounts the Company deems prudent and for which the Company is responsible for payment. In determining the amount of self-insurance, it is the Company’s policy to self-insure those losses that are predictable, measurable and recurring in nature, such as claims for automobile liability and general liability. The Company regularly reviews the status of on-going proceedings and other contingent matters along with legal counsel. Liabilities for such items are recorded when it is probable that the liability has been incurred and when the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities are adjusted when additional information becomes available. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However, such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for NCI Building Systems, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated, the “Company,” “NCI,” “we,” “us” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Operating results for the fiscal three month period ended January 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending October 30, 2016 . Our sales and earnings are subject to both seasonal and cyclical trends and are influenced by general economic conditions, interest rates, the price of steel relative to other building materials, the level of nonresidential construction activity, roof repair and retrofit demand and the availability and cost of financing for construction projects. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 1, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 22, 2015.
Reporting Periods	Reporting Periods We use a four-four-five week calendar each quarter with our fiscal year end being on the Sunday closest to October 31. The year end for fiscal 2016 is October 30, 2016 .
New Accounting Pronouncements	Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 changes the requirement for reporting discontinued operations. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity will be required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or when it is disposed of by sale or other than by sale. The update also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations, a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements, and an entity’s significant continuing involvement with a discontinued operation. We adopted ASU 2014-08 prospectively in our first quarter in fiscal 2016. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for our first quarter in fiscal 2018 under either full or modified retrospective adoption. Early application is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year. Entities can still adopt the amendments as of the original effective date. ASU 2014-09 is effective for our fiscal year ending November 3, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period . ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation , as it relates to such awards. ASU 2014-12 is effective for our first quarter in fiscal 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement — Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items . ASU 2015-01 eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The guidance is effective for our fiscal year ending October 29, 2017. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as a separate asset. In circumstances where the costs are incurred before the debt liability is recorded, the costs will be reported on the balance sheet as an asset until the debt liability is recorded. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. The update requires retrospective application and is effective for our fiscal year ending October 29, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting), to provide further clarification to ASU 2015-03 as it relates to the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line of credit arrangements. Upon adoption of this guidance, we expect to reclassify approximately $8 million in deferred financing costs as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt liability. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the guidance specifies that the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. ASU 2015-05 further specifies that the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract if the arrangement does not include a software license. The guidance is effective for our fiscal year ending October 29, 2017. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issues ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory that has historically been measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost method should now be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The update requires prospective application and is effective for our fiscal year ending October 28, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . ASU 2015-17 requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be presented on the balance sheet as noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective for our fiscal year ending October 28, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, we will present the net deferred tax assets as noncurrent and reclassify any current deferred tax assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial position on a retrospective basis. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which will require lessees to record most leases on the balance sheet and modifies the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type leases and direct financing leases for lessors. ASU 2016-02 is effective for our fiscal year ending November 1, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The guidance requires entities to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Assets held for sale are reported at fair value, if, on an individual basis, the fair value of the asset is less than cost. The fair value of assets held for sale is estimated using level 3 inputs, such as broker quotes for like-kind assets or other market indications of a potential selling value which approximates fair value. The assets that were previously reported at fair value as of November 1, 2015 were sold in January 2016. See Note 7 for additional information.
