Any time of the year is a good time for maintenance or roof replacement if you need it. That said, you can enjoy certain advantages if you tackle the project in spring. Read on as Roofer Chicks® explains why.
Safer for Roofers
Roofing is generally a fair-weather job. An open roof sheathing in winter lets the cold air into your home, affecting indoor comfort. The snow also increases the risk factor involved. Installers have to take extra precautions to spot and manage hazards. In spring, though, roofers can be more efficient and safe. They can finish the job faster and ensure quality workmanship.
Good for Roofing Materials
Most of the winter is too cold for roofing materials like asphalt shingles. Hot summer days can also cause your shingles to slough. The shingles on a new roof need heat from the sun to seal well. Spring provides warm weather that can provide a very good seal.
No Rush Jobs
Roofing crews make most of their money in summer. They might hurry through a job in the summer to get to the next one. We’re not saying they will do a poor job, but not always the best possible one. In the spring roofers have more time to be deliberate with their work since they know there aren’t many other jobs lined up.
Energy Efficiency
Getting an energy-efficient roof in spring can reduce your cooling costs in summer. Reflecting asphalt shingles absorb and transfer less heat to the rest of your home. Tiles create a natural heat barrier for better thermal insulation. Spring is a great opportunity to improve your attic ventilation through roof repairs. Optimizing attic airflow can help prevent heat buildup and expel excessive moisture. Adequate attic ventilation also decreases the chances of ice damming in winter.
