Fall has finally come knocking. At long last, we can go outside without sweating after five steps. Our kids and dogs can jump into massive piles of leaves. We can sit by the fire with a cup of hot cider. But there’s one thing we can do that, while not particularly fun, could save plenty of headaches (and money) down the line: Get a residential roof replacement.
When you think about it, this is the perfect season for a new roof. The weather is ideal, harsher conditions are likely approaching (but not yet here), and your scheduling options are robust. So grab your cider, cozy up, and hear us out.
Mild Weather Conditions
Imagine being up on a roof all day in the scorching summer sun. You’d probably be sweating buckets and hydrating every couple of minutes. On the other side of that coin is the prospect of performing a residential roof replacement in the cold midst of winter. Your hair would be frozen and you may not even be able to feel your fingers.
We’re not trying to get you to feel sorry for us; we’re tough enough to handle those conditions. But there’s no denying that they aren’t ideal compared to the more mild weather offerings of a season like fall. When there are no summer thunderstorms or winter blizzards to contend with, our roof replacement services are at lower risk of scheduling delays.
As for the roofing materials themselves, they also benefit! This time of year offers temperatures that generally stay within a range that allows roofing materials to set properly. This ensures that everything is as it should be when all is said and done.
Preventing Winter Weather Damage
To quote the late Ned Stark: “Winter is coming.”
Winter may be the season that presents the harshest weather conditions; snow, ice, and freezing rain can all put significant strain on your roof. Because of that, being prepared for it to hit is important to the integrity of your home. When you get a residential roof replacement in autumn, you’re giving your entire home a fresh new shield that protects it from leaks, ice dams, and various other types of damage attributed to cold weather. This proactive approach will save you untold amounts of money down the road, and you’ll be able to enjoy those winter nights by the fire without a care in the world.
Scheduling and Availability
Fall is the season that gets everyone excited about the holidays. After all, we have Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and more to look forward to. Everyone is planning for trick-or-treating, family get-togethers, and gift shopping. Know what they’re not thinking about? Roof replacement services. Take advantage of that!
Since summer tends to be a busy season for roofing contractors like us, there’s much more scheduling flexibility in the season following it. We offer better availability, meaning you’re even more likely to see your project completed within your timeline.
To top it all off (pun not intended), you may even discover more competitive pricing in the fall, thanks to contractors wanting to fill their schedules. You can use this competitive time to your advantage!
Maximizing Energy Efficiency
Getting a fall residential roof replacement doesn’t just prepare you for winter and its chilly weather—it can give your home a welcome boost in energy efficiency. One crucial aspect of a new roof is insulation, which helps to reduce heat loss when the outdoor elements are trying to turn you into a popsicle. When that insulation is new and expertly installed, it’ll keep all the warm air your HVAC has been providing right where it should be: Inside your home. When you’re not having to work that system to the maximum (and potentially killing it), you’ll notice significantly lower energy bills.
Busy Fall, Cozy Winter
Fall is arguably the best time to get a residential roof replacement. Thanks to the mild weather conditions it offers, you can enjoy a more reliable schedule. In addition to that, your home will get a massive boost in protection thanks to the sturdy new materials and insulation that keep the heat in and the cold air and water out! Of course, you should only get a new roof this fall if there’s good reason to. If that’s the case, we’re ready to top off your home with the best defense around. Get in touch with us, and our roof replacement services will make your winter a whole lot easier!
