When your roof suddenly shows signs of a problem, your first line of defense is usually to call contractor. If they suggest that a complete roof replacement is the best way to solve the problem, you’ll need to consider a major issue: How urgent is the problem?

This is a critical point because it can mean the difference between an easy installation and a challenging one. It’s usually best to have a new roof installed in the fall. Temperatures are reasonable, so your contractor can work efficiently without dealing with brutal heat or frigidly cold air. Extreme temperatures can create difficult working conditions, which could hinder progress and make it difficult to achieve the best possible results.

However, the complexity of your roofing problem may be the ultimate deciding factor. Major problems can’t usually wait—no matter what the season. If your roofing contractor discovers an issue in the winter, for example, it’s smart to schedule the replacement as soon as possible. Otherwise, your roof may be at risk of further damage due to heavy snow, which can cause structural damage, worsen existing leaks, and create new issues.

If you choose to schedule a roof replacement in the summertime, bear in mind that it is the busiest time of year for this project. You may end up waiting a while, anyway, which could conceivably bring you closer to a fall appointment.

Your contractor will advise you as to the best course of action. If your roof is in especially bad shape, it may not be safe to wait too long. If time is on your side, though, it’s worth waiting until temperatures cool down just a bit.
