Fall is the perfect time of the year to check your home’s external elements for damage incurred in the past year. It’s also the right time to replace old, worn-out roofing systems.
Don’t just take our word for it. Here are the four top reasons you need to inspect your home this season:
1. Summer Takes its Toll
Wind, rain and scorching summer heat waves can take a significant toll on even the most dependable roofing system. With the conditions being conducive to outdoor work during fall, it makes sense to repair any damage sustained during the summer and reinforce your roofing for winter.
2. Shingles Are Tough to Work With in the Cold
Shingles have a tendency to become brittle and difficult to work with in cold weather conditions. The fall air makes it much easier to deal with shingles because it isn’t too cold. As a result, most roofing projects and repairs are finished at a much faster pace than during the winter months.
3. Fall Temperatures are Ideal
The fair weather during fall makes outdoor work much more bearable than during intense summers or bitter winters. Roofers will be able to better assess your roofing’s condition and provide optimal repairs should any be needed.
4. Winter is On its Way
Fall is your best and last chance to further fortify your roofing system before it bears the full brunt of inclement weather conditions during winter. High winds and heavy snowfall often leave their mark on your roof. With ample reinforcement, you can prevent this.
