When it’s time for a new roof installation, fall is the season most homeowners prefer. Of course, most roofers prefer the fall as it comes after the busy, hot, and sometimes stormy summer months and just before the freezing winter weather occurs. But there are many other benefits of a fall roof replacement.
Please keep reading to see why most roofing professionals consider a fall roof replacement an excellent idea.
IDEAL WEATHER CONDITIONS
A roof install is made more accessible under clear skies and a temperature between 45 to 50 degrees. These conditions are particularly the best for installing asphalt shingles, the most popular type of roofing in America. During the hot summer months, the shingles can become sticky and difficult to handle. Meanwhile, winter is too cold, and the shingles will become brittle and break easily. Fall temperatures benefit the installation process by allowing the shingles’ seal strips to adhere to the roof correctly. In addition, the roofer will have a more pleasant experience, not having to work in the blazing summer heat or cold winter.
PREPARE THE PROPERTY FOR WINTER
Installing a new roof during fall is an excellent idea as it gives shingles ample time to bond before the winter months set in. In addition, the roof will create a moisture-resistant and air-tight barrier against cold temperatures. Also, the new roof is less likely to be blown away during a winter storm.
In addition, getting a roof replaced before winter will prevent leaks or small holes from worsening. The weight of heavy snowfall and a roof that needs repairing is a recipe for disaster. It is best to avoid an emergency roof repair in the winter, as it’s more challenging to find roofers to work during that time of year.
REDUCE THE HEATING BILL
An ill-maintained roof will be one of the first areas to let heat escape. Therefore, a new or recently repaired and well-insulated roof will help keep heating costs low by ensuring heat retention. In addition, a new roof will ensure its ultimate effectiveness if the HVAC system resides in the attic.
THERE’S NO TIME LIKE THE FALL!
The fall season is the best time for a roof replacement. The average temperatures during that season are mild enough to allow the installation to proceed in more pleasant conditions. As a result, fall roof installations and repairs are typically the easiest to book and quickest to complete. However, be sure to book your professional roofing contractor in advance, as many homeowners have now caught on to the secret of why a fall roof installation is an exceptional idea.
