Can roofs be replaced in the winter?

Both flat roofs and shingles can be installed in the winter. However, roofing cannot proceed under certain conditions, such as temperature extremes or inclement weather, when we cannot work safely or comfortably.

Some customers elect to order roofing projects during milder winter conditions because there is an urgent need for replacement or because they want the work done before spring rainfalls arrive.

Other home owners actually prefer to have roofing done in the winter because they don’t use their gardens at that time. They also prefer to have work done when landscaping is dormant and hence there is less chance of plant damage.

Flat roofs are easier to tear off in winter weather because asphalt is more solid in cold temperatures. In addition, the potential risk of water infiltration during the re-roof process is minimized because it typically doesn’t rain in the winter.

Here is something else you should know. Over the last few years, roofing material prices have gone up about 10% in the spring. Order in the winter and you will get winter prices – even if your roof can’t be done until the spring.
