Roofs deteriorate over time, combined with weather conditions. A roof in good condition will save you money on unscheduled replacements and will allow you to have a regular temperature inside your home, in addition to saving energy in both winter and summer. The best recommendation is to make a thorough review of your roof, and locate signs of existing damage such as cracks or visible or hidden deterioration, if your roof is in good condition, it is time to take corrective action and ideally do it in the best conditions.
Prevent the roof from being installed or replaced in Winter
In the winter, snow and ice accumulations can seriously affect your roof, since when they melt they can cause holes, sinking and leaks in the shingles, creating discomfort in your home. Also affecting the thermal sealing because the cold makes adhesion difficult at the time of installation. Another point to consider is the fragility of the shingles caused by low temperatures, these environmental elements besides affecting the durability of the roof also delay the installation work.
Difficulty installing or repairing roofs in spring and summer
The roof, besides overcoming the winter, now has to face other risks that can be considered when thinking about installing or replacing it, we are talking about summer and spring, being the greatest difficulty of these seasons the storms, then the strong winds, hurricanes, heavy rains and high temperatures, elements sometimes unpredictable in magnitude that hinder the installation and the proper sealing and fragility of the tiles. The sun also affects and deteriorates roofs to the point of damaging the protective covering.
Fall is the best season and reason to install or replace your roof.
When we have clear days and temperatures above 45 degrees, it is the ideal time to install or replace roofs, on the one hand the asphalt shingles are fixed in the right way because the sealing strip is better affirmed with the heat of the environment, under this condition allows the weather to hermetically close the shingles before the arrival of extreme temperatures, as they create a sealed barrier against rain and snow, which allows the work done on the roof is guaranteed and on schedule. Another reason to take into account are the animals that seek shelter in the warmth of homes before the arrival of winter, if your roof is well sealed and sheltered in the right way it will be difficult for animals to access your home through the roof and make your home their home. This time of year allows for repairs to be done in a scheduled, quick and safe manner.
