Why Spring and Summer are Ideal for Roof Installations

There are several reasons why spring and summer are the best time for metal roof installations:

• More affordable. Believe it or not, the fall is the busiest season for roof installations. Hence prices tend to be higher as roofers can increase labour charges.
• Easier to install. Due to the nature of metal roofing materials, warmer weather enables the metal roofing installation process to go much faster. When it’s cold outside, for example, you might have to fight the brittle nature of roofing materials, and the fact they are are colder to touch means roofers need gloves. There are also shorter days in the winter to complete the work. Furthermore, sealants need to dry, and in the spring and summer these can dry very quickly, allowing roof installation to move along at a steady pace.
• Keeps moisture content under control. Moisture from spring showers dries up pretty quickly. In contrast, snow can stick around, increasing labour costs if it has to be physically removed in order to continue installation. Water in general can cause problems. When metal roofing materials become wet they can be slippery and difficult for metal roofers to handle. Cracks allow water to seep in, and delays can become common if cold, wet weather hits.  In general the spring and summer afford the best chance to have your metal roof installed without Mother Nature’s interference.
