Roofs are incredibly resilient, often lasting decades even when subjected to high winds, rainfall, and snow accumulation. But even the best roofs have a finite lifespan, usually 10-20 years, after which time they are subject to leaks, missing shingles, and possible structural damage. Fortunately, autumn is one of the best times to get a roof replacement. Here are some of the reasons why.

What Are the Benefits of Fall Roof Replacement?

1. Mild Weather

The temperate weather usually associated with fall is both more comfortable and safer for the professionals installing your new roof than the sweltering hot days of summer. Also, there are still many hours of daylight in the autumn, allowing your job to be done quickly and efficiently.

2. Give Shingles the Chance to Properly Seal 

Asphalt shingles are best installed when the weather is between 40 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit since this temperature allows tar to adhere properly to sub-roofing. The result is a more waterproof roof, helping to prevent issues like rotting trusses and mold accumulation in attic spaces. 

3. Protect Your Home From Winter 

Getting a roof replacement during the fall also gives you the best chance to protect your home from the harsher weather of winter.  In addition to making sure that no snow finds its way through holes in your roof, you can also save money on your heating bill by sealing any gaps and replacing your insulation.
