When your roof is getting older and seems to require repairs continually, you are due for a roof replacement. You can help your roofing contractor get their work done more effectively if you schedule the job during the right time of year. If you have the flexibility to wait, have your new roof installed in the early fall, as this time of the year is most beneficial for you, the contractor, and the roof itself.

Guide to an Autumn Roof Replacement

Why Wait Until Fall?

Early autumn weather is ideal for installing a roof. It’s not so hot that your roofers will get exhausted, but it’s also not so cold that they’ll need to stop working due to the freezing temperatures. There is limited rain, so they are less likely to be stopped by inclement weather. This helps them get the job done more quickly, so your family life is less disturbed by the project.

You may also get a better quality roof due to the moderate temperatures. For roofs that require a seal, such as asphalt shingles, they must be cured at a temperature between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This helps the adhesive reach the right elasticity for a robust and water-tight seal. Fall provides weather that will allow the roof to be installed and settle so that it lasts for as long as possible.

How to Schedule an Installation

Due to its benefits, autumn is the most popular time of year for people to have roof installation done. As a result, you’ll need to plan if you want to time it right. In-demand contractors can quickly get booked one to two months out. You don’t want to wait until the fall to schedule, to realize that your roofer is too busy and you’ll be left with a low-quality roof throughout the upcoming winter weather. Schedule your replacement in the early summer, so you know you have priority in your contractor’s schedule. If you have a significant life event, like back-to-school or an impending birth, be sure to plan around these as the extra stress of roof installation may be overwhelming.
