What Times of Year are Best for Roof Repairs?

The decision to replace or repair your home’s roof can be made for a number of reasons, including the age of the roof (most last between 15–20 years), structural damage (from storms or accidents), leaks, and deteriorating shingles.

Keep in mind that professional roofers can do repairs any time of the year, and during most weather. However, generally speaking, if it’s not an emergency situation, most companies will suggest planning your roof replacement or repairs for spring (March-May) or fall (September–November).

Additionally, rain, snow, and heat can complicate and prolong the repairs. In some cases, having roof work in progress when a storm hits can cause even more damage to your property. However, deciding to have your repairs done in the fall or spring each comes with its own benefits.

Fall

Fall is usually the go-to time to have repairs done on your roof. The weather is typically dry and cool, so the roofing materials will adhere and seal with more ease. Fall weather also allows for less weather-related interference, so the job will get done quicker.

During the fall, the cooler, dry conditions make it the easiest and safest time for a roofing company to perform repairs. Finally, the fall weather is a great time for you and your family to enjoy some outdoor activities that will take you away from the noise and mess that roof repairs can cause.

Spring

While fall may be the universal season for roof repair, spring is also a good time to have work done. Though there may be some rainy days, spring roof maintenance is nearly as ideal as fall. The weather is starting to warm up, there’s no worry about icy rooftops, and the extreme cold won’t affect the materials and how they adhere to the structure.

It’s a comfortable time for the roofers so they can work at their maximum efficiency. Spring also allows for the roofing company to inspect for damage from winter weather.
