Winter is coming—is your roof ready? If you’re in need of roof repair or want to get your roof checked, autumn is the perfect time to schedule this service. When cold weather and snow hits, you want to know your roof will protect your home. Scheduling a service visit from a professional roofing company now can save you time and money if you’ve been putting off repairs, as these problems could escalate further in the coldest months and become major headaches. 

3 Reasons Fall is Best For Roof Repairs 

1. Get Your Roof Ready for Winter

Fall is the perfect time to get your roof repaired to ensure it’s in good condition to handle the winter season. Winter weather, including cold, snow and ice, can worsen existing roof damage and these conditions make roof repairs difficult and dangerous. Early intervention such as taking care of minor repairs now, can help prevent a large, expensive problem later.  A newly repaired roof can give you peace of mind going into the winter season that your roof will protect your home during the harshest months. 

2. Typically Dry Weather

Although spring and summer are typically good times for roof repairs, these seasons tend to be the rainiest. Roof repairs can be delayed during rain because a quality roof installation requires dry conditions. Fall typically has more dry, sunny days so it’s ideal to take care of needed repair work. Schedule a service visit with your roofing contractor this fall so they can inspect your roof and recommend if repairs are necessary before the winter.

3. Ideal Temperatures for Shingle Installation 

Shingles are harder to work with in cold weather because they can become brittle, don’t lay flat and can break more easily during the installation process. Fall temperatures are ideal for installing asphalt shingles as they adhere firmly to the roof, creating a better seal. Additional, bright, sunny days allow for efficient roof repairs or replacement.
