Your home’s roof is arguably the single most important piece of your home’s exterior. It provides a number of benefits for your home, including increasing your home’s curb appeal and resale value, as well as it’s most important function, which is protecting your home from the elements and pests. If you’re considering replacing your home’s roof, you may be wondering which season is the best for the replacement. Take a look at our guide to learn more about which season is the best for replacing your roof.
Winter
Let’s start with the obvious; if you can avoid it, you shouldn’t replace your roof in the winter. While it’s certainly possible to replace your roof in the winter and have it go off without a hitch, generally replacing a roof in the winter is a difficult task that should be avoided, particularly is there is any snowfall. The cold weather can make it difficult for adhesives to adhere to your roof, but if there is also an element of moisture involved it will make the process incredibly difficult, if not downright impossible. Avoid a winter roof replacement when possible. However, if spot repairs need to be made to stop a leak from causing damage, that can be patched until a more opportune time occurs.
Spring/Summer
This one can be a toss-up as the weather in the spring and summer can be a mixed bag. If you have time to schedule your roof replacement early in spring, you may be able to avoid the rush of work that begins in the summer and continues to pick up through the end of the season. However, if the spring months are particularly rainy, it may be difficult for a crew to come to assist with your roof replacement.
Early in the summer is a good time to have your roof replaced as well, as contractors tend to get busier as the season goes on. The earlier you schedule an appointment, the more likely you are to have your roof replaced in a timely manner. However, if you can wait until the end of the summer season, around late August or September, the wait times tend to be a bit better, as long as you can avoid the humid, late summer heat waves that can make it difficult for contractors to work on your roof.
Fall
The fall season is often the best season to have your roof replaced. Generally, the weather is temperate enough to work long days on the roof, and the precipitation is reasonably mild, meaning that the climate is perfect for the replacement. If you’re considering replacing your home’s roof, fall is often the best season!
