If you’re anything like the majority of homeowners, the roof on your home is probably something your take for granted. Roofs are vital to protecting us from harsh weather, unwanted pests, varying temperatures, and so much more! The time to replace your roof is not after your existing roof has a major failure. Emergency roof replacements are expensive, stressful, and extremely difficult depending on the season. Fall is the best time to assess your current roof and replace it if need be! 

Protection Against Winter Weather 

Winter would be arguably the worst season to live without a good roof. You’d be exposed to cold, snow, ice, and all the animals outside looking for somewhere to call home for the winter. Upgrading your roof during the autumn season will allow you to relax by the fire this winter knowing your roof is safe and secure. The weight of heavy snow has a tendency to find weak spots in a roof and make them even worse, so now is not the time to say “oh, I think I can wait a few more months to replace my roof.” Your roofing contractor can also assess the current condition of your gutter system at the time of installation. Gutters that are damaged or blocked can lead to ice dam formations in the winter. An ice dam can cause water to back up under your shingles and potentially cause a wide array of issues! 

Ideal Conditions 

Roofing materials are difficult to work with in colder temperatures. Shingles have seal strips that can’t seal correctly if it’s too cold outside. This can lead to shingles coming off and ultimately, a big waste of money! Autumn provides your roofing contractor with the best conditions to ensure a high-quality installation. Plus, it’s not as uncomfortable as a roof replacement done under the scorching summer sun! 

Summer Storms Have Passed 

Spring and summer are warm enough for roofing materials to be used correctly, but there’s also a higher risk of thunderstorms and high winds during those seasons. Storm season poses a major risk for your roof. Shingles can blow off or become damaged from falling debris during a storm. By scheduling your roof replacement after storm season has passed, you’re lowering the risk of damages occurring soon after installation. It’s also great because any damages that did occur during storm season will be corrected once the new roof is installed!
