Roofing contractors say spring is an ideal time for home improvement projects, and roof replacements are no exception. What makes spring ideal for a roof replacement?
Lower Demand for Contractor Services
For one thing, demand for contractor services hasn’t picked up yet immediately after winter. This means you’ll have an easier time scheduling an appointment with a contractor on your preferred date. And since contractors don’t have a lot of projects yet, there’s less time pressure on them to finish a roof replacement.
Keep in mind that a packed schedule is by no means an excuse for substandard work. Any contractor worth their salt should manage their schedule well to maintain the quality of their work.
Mild Weather Conditions
Contractors will also be able to work more efficiently in spring’s mild weather conditions. Not to mention the ideal temperatures in spring won’t affect the quality of the roofing materials.
Some might wonder why not just wait until summer to replace your roof? Well, for one thing, high temperatures might affect the quality of the roofing materials—under intense heat, asphalt shingles might suffer warping. Plus, there’s also the fact it’s harder to get an appointment in summer, the peak season for contractors.
Preparations for Summer
Installing an energy-efficient roof in spring makes more financial sense than putting off the roof replacement until summer. You don’t be able to maximize potential energy savings if you wait until summer to install your new energy-efficient roof. Speaking of maximizing the returns on your investment, here’s a tip: A GAF® roof installed by a GAF Master Elite™ roofer can receive exclusive warranties with extended coverage. To learn more about these exclusive warranties, consult a GAF-certified roofer.
