Are you thinking it is time to replace your roof? When making this decision, you want to make sure that you’re choosing the right roofing contractors to install your roof. You want to be sure that it’s installed properly and that the weather cooperates during the replacement process.

The transition to cooler temperatures provides comfortable temperatures for roofing crew to work in which allows them to work more efficiently, cutting down on time and costs. Keep in mind that scheduling can come with more availability as roofing installers do complete jobs in a more timely fashion. This is why fall is considered a prime time to replace your roof.
Although temperatures are cooler, providing better working conditions for roof installers and allowing them to complete your job more efficiently, fall also brings more precipitation than summer as chances of rain are still in effect and without higher temperatures assisting to dry out your roof or working surfaces, interference of rain delays can slow down the completion of your roof replacement. But for the most part, rain delays are less likely to be an issue, earlier in the fall season. Temperatures with lower humidity also allows your shingles the time they need to effectively seal prior to entering the snowy months. Also keep in mind that because summer is a packed season, and there’s the possibility that summer jobs can spill into the fall months. This means you may not be able to get your roof replaced next week. Typically most homeowners schedule their roof replacements during the fall season as a last minute home preparation before winter hits. If you’re thinking fall is going to be the season you want to have your roof replaced, make sure to plan 1 to 2 months in advance. Contact us and get on the schedule so your spot is reserved for this prime season.
The winter season comes with its specific challenges, but if done correctly, you are still able to replace your roof in the colder months of the year. The snow and ice won’t completely stop roofers from working on your roof.
The biggest benefit to winter roofing is AVAILABILITY! Just be cautious of some delays as jobs will only be worked on if the weather conditions permits it. More cons to having your roof done in the winter is if you’re considering asphalt shingles, you may want to wait until the temperature warms up. The cold weather causes the shingles to lose some flexibility, making it harder to cut and insert the nails. Shingles also have a tar sealant on the back that is activated by heat and sunlight, but with limited amounts of both in the winter, the sealing process may not adhere properly. Many roofing companies may supplement with hand-sealing techniques so that your shingles don’t blow off with the wind, however, this could be accompanied by extra labor costs. The roof installation project may take longer during winter because the days are shorter and the materials are more challenging to instal.
You can have your roof worked on during any season but each will have it’s own pros and cons. It’s best to talk with a roofing consultant in order to determine which season would be best for your home, depending on your budget, availability, priority, and the health of your roof.
