Have you noticed that your roof isn’t looking so great lately? While it can be tempting to put off repairs or replacements until the fall, this might not be the best decision. Instead, it’s often better to have the replacement done as soon as possible. In addition, there are several benefits to having a new roof installed during the warmer summer months.
Less Chance of Additional Damage
During the summer, many locations have fewer storms than in the spring, fall, or winter. This is a good thing in terms of having a roof replacement done. The roofers can get started with the process immediately without worrying about the weather. There’s also far less chance that you’ll need to deal with storm or water damage while the replacement is being handled.
You and the contractors installing the roof will have a better experience when the replacement is done in the summer.
Potentially Cheaper Prices
Sometimes you can get better prices for a roof replacement in the summer. However, this can depend on the exact time during the season when you schedule your appointment. Early summer can be pretty busy and prices may go up around this time. However, when you get a replacement in late summer, many roofing companies have dropped prices and you’ll get a good deal.
After prices drop in the late summer, they often stay lower until the start of the next year. If you need to wait on the roofing replacement, fall can still be a good choice.
Even Temperatures Matters
The type of roof you choose for your replacement can also indicate whether a summer appointment is best. As an example, let’s say you want to get typical asphalt shingles. In this case, you need to be sure that the temperatures are moderate or high for a long period. While the adjustment period is in effect, the temperature should not go below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
During the summer, this temperature is unlike to be reached so you’re safe. This is just another reason that summer is the best time to choose a roof replacement.
