Before the season ends, you still have time to do some necessary repairs to your roof. Here are five reasons to perform roof repairs in the summer.
The Weather
Although summer is known for its heat and thunderstorms, it gives roofers the best chance to get a block of clear, sunny days to complete the work. There is rain in the summer, but it’s not as rainy as spring which takes away the chances of delay and slipping. It’s one of the safest times of year for roof repairs and will help ensure that the repairs can be completed quickly.
Pricing
There’s a myth that says that waiting until summer to get roof repairs means that you’ll be spending a lot of money. That’s because roofers and construction professionals are often busy in the summer, which can drive up the prices. If you choose the beginning of summer, you might see an increase in rates. However, if you wait until late summer when the schedules are starting to slow down, you can benefit from savings.
Type of Roof
If your roof has asphalt shingles, then you’ll need the temperatures to stay at a steady level for an extended amount of time. It’s easier in the summer to find a block of days when the temperatures will remain consistent in a mid to high range. For asphalt shingles to be repaired and replaced properly, the temperatures can’t drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit — it’s highly unlikely that that will happen in the summer.
Your Availability
It’s more likely that you’ll have the availability to be at home for your roof repairs. It’s one of the most easy-going times of the year, before the hectic schedules of school, work, and sports take over. This will be helpful for you as well as the roofing professionals, who also have busy schedules in the summer.
Just in Time
Getting your roof repaired in the summer will ensure that you’re prepared for the fall and winter. The rain will soon become ice and snow, and you want to make sure that your roof is well prepared to handle the elements.
