The moderate temperatures in the fall are great for roofing services and for the roofs themselves. These temperatures ensure that shingles do not attach to one another while maintaining a solid bond between the remaining shingles and your roof. Thus, a lot of evidence points to the fact that roofing can be installed successfully at similar temperatures.
Roofers benefit from the colder fall weather because it makes working with shingles much easier. Shingles become delicate and easily broken in excessive cold, yet in extreme heat, they become sticky and difficult to manage. Your project will be completed on schedule and under budget because the weather is favorable for roofing construction in the fall.
Defy the urge to wait until the end of winter to replace your roof. Although December to March is the quiet season for roofers in cold climates, do not anticipate getting a roofer at a lower price at this time.
Another benefit of having your roof replaced in the fall is that any minor little drips or cracks will likely worsen once the winter snowstorms start. It will be much easier for your roofer to assess which services are necessary this year and which can wait.

In the wintertime, your home will work hard to produce heat and maintain a stable, comfortable temperature. A damaged roof will work against your home’s heating and you’ll see an increase in your energy bills, not to mention a noticeable difference in the home’s internal temperature. Freezing temperatures are no joke, which makes fall the ideal time to prepare your roof to battle these extreme shifts in the weather.
You might not consider the summertime to have damaging weather but think about the extreme heat and heavy thunderstorms that the season presents. Your roof is exposed to high, intense heat, strong winds, and heavy downfalls of rain all summer long.
Many people don’t check their roofs after the summer has passed and ended up heading into the even more extreme winter weather with damaged or missing shingles. This makes fall the ideal time to do roof repairs and inspections as it resolves issues created by the summer heat and storms in time to prepare for the winter.
Leaves, branches, and acorns are constantly falling during the autumn months, peppering your roof with debris. Sometimes larger branches or other potentially damaging objects can fall as well. Schedule your roof inspection during autumn so that any potential damage can be resolved in a timely manner.
It all comes down to supply & demand. Since Spring and Summer are the most popular times of year for roofing projects, prices are naturally higher. Likewise, there are fewer companies & active roofing crews in the winter with the exception being after snow & winter storms. Then the roofers who are active, have phones ringing off the hook.
This is the least ideal time to get your roof fixed as few people can tolerate the effects of roof problems caused by snow, ice, & cold weather.
