If your roof is reaching the end of its usable lifespan, it’s wise to schedule a roof replacement. Fall is the ideal season to complete this major home project for several reasons, including the favorable weather. Schedule yours as soon as possible with a roofing contractor to enjoy the benefits that autumn offers.

The Benefits of an Autumn Roof Replacement

1. Quicker Timelines

Summer may have the longest days of the year, but it may be too hot for roofers to work all day. Roofs get much hotter than the ground due to the roofing materials that absorb the sun’s heat. During the fall, the days are still relatively long, and the lower temperatures mean that roofing companies can work longer days. This reduces your project’s overall timeline, so your new roof is in place sooner.

2. Effective Sealing

An effectively installed roof needs an airtight and watertight seal between the shingles and the deck. The fall temperatures are ideal for this. Asphalt shingles, for example, adhere best between 45 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool weather without much rainfall is perfect for a durable installation you can rely on.

3. Winter Preparation

Winter is the most challenging season for your roof. All the rain and snow may pour through cracks and open areas in your roof and cause water damage to the wooden structure underneath. Additionally, an older and improperly insulated roof will let all your home’s heating escape. By scheduling a replacement in the fall, your home will be better equipped for the winter.
