When Is the Roofing Season Typically Considered to Be Over?

Roofing seasons differ depending on where you live. In some places, where it’s warm, the roofing season can last just about all year long, while in colder areas it can be over as early as September or October. Knowing about the climate and temperature conditions in your area will help you plan your roofing projects more easily and determine when you should and shouldn’t consider contacting a roofer for a job.

The main issue arises with areas where the climate conditions lead to unexpected weather. For instance, you might start a roofing project sometime in November, and there could be a sudden shift in temperature after just two days. With your project already underway, the roofers can’t back down and they have to try to finish the project once the weather improves. The freeze and windy conditions, however, could last for a while, so working with certain roofing materials may be almost impossible until the weather gets warmer. If you have a leak that happens having a Highlands Ranch roof repair technician out right away is recommended no matter what time of year it is.

Similar problems occur in tropical areas, where the rainy season can make roofing work extremely difficult and also lead to leaks and further roofing damage caused by storms. In these areas it’s best to plan for the roofing season being basically “off season” and project the timeline of all your roofing projects to end well before the rainy season arrives.
