Best Time of Year for Roof Replacement

Roofing
3/8/2023

The first thing to think about is the age of your roof. If it’s more than 15 years old, then it may need replacement soon. The next factor is if you have had any leaks or other damage in the past few months or years. If so, then this could be a sign that your roof needs replacing as soon as possible. Finally, if you live in an area that gets heavy snowfall during the winter, then it may be best to wait until after winter before replacing the roof so you don’t have to worry about any potential leaks during this time of year.

Here are the things you can expect if you get your roof fixed at various times throughout the year. In the Northwest, there are four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall.

Winter

In the wintertime, While it may be more difficult to get roof replacements during the winter months, this doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re impossible. In fact, many homeowners request fewer gigs during this time because they know there are fewer professionals available. This usually means that there’s more availability to work with your schedule too if you need a replacement. If you live in a warmer climate, then winter isn't any worse than other seasons for doing roof work. It's not a bad choice even in colder climates, though. It's simply the least ideal.

Spring

On the other hand, during springtime when temperatures are high and rainstorms are common, roofs may be more susceptible to water damage because of increased exposure to moisture from rainwater runoff or from condensation due to high humidity levels within homes during this time of year.

Summer

Summertime can be a great opportunity to replace your old, worn-out roof with a new one. The warmer weather will help you get the job done faster than in other seasons, and it’s easier to do this type of work when there’s less snow on the ground.

Fall

Fall is a great time for roof repair and installation. This is because the temperature has cooled down considerably, the leaves are falling and before winter sets in, roofs need to be inspected for leaks.
