When it comes to replacing your roof, it can be complicated trying to decide when the best time is to call your roofer. Not only does weather matter, but your roof is an investment, and it’s important to have repairs or replacements done at the right time. So, when is the best time to replace your roof? We’ve put together information to help you make an informed decision.
Winter
The colder months do not make for the best time to schedule a roof replacement. Even though we do not typically get a ton of snow here in eastern NC, there are a few storms and precipitation, and the cold temperatures can have an effect on the tools and materials used to replace your roof. The threat of ice can also pose a danger to the work crew and make it difficult to remove shingles. There is also potential for weather delays, especially if the temperatures drop too low. This can cause the timeframe of the project to continue to increase significantly, meaning your roof replacement may take much longer than normal. However, roof replacements are still possible in the winter, and Assurance Roofing can help you determine if a roof replacement is needed sooner rather than later.
Spring
The springtime may be a good time to have your roof replaced. Thanks to longer hours of daylight and mild temperatures, spring offers plenty of time for your roof to be worked on. However, with spring comes plenty of storms and rain, so scheduling and timelines may vary depending on the weather. The temperature, however, is optimal for roofing materials to adhere to your roof and stay put. Wintertime can expose significant roof damage that you may have not noticed, so spring is the perfect time to take note of any damage and call your roofer.
Summer
The summer months are extremely popular for people to request roof replacements, due to the sunny, long days. Like other seasons, summer temps can pose threats to both the roofing materials and the work crew. Excessive heat and humidity can make it dangerous to work outside for long hours and can keep roofing sealants from functioning properly. Most people don’t realize that asphalt shingles can actually get up to 20 degrees hotter than the temperature outside, making them more vulnerable to damage. Regardless, the early summer months are an ideal time for roofing repairs or replacements.
Fall
With pleasant weather and few thunderstorms, fall is a great time to consider having your roof replaced. While falling leaves can be an obstacle, fall is still an ideal time for a re-roof and offers the work crew plenty of time to get the job done. However, because fall is such a great time for outdoor work, the fall season tends to book up quickly, so we encourage you to schedule your roof inspection and replacement as soon as possible!
