Roof replacement can be done during most times of the year, but having it done during the spring season presents some advantages. Local roofing company Fields Roof Service shares the reasons why you should schedule your roof replacement in the spring season.
1. You can benefit from energy- efficient features. If you are looking into getting an ENERGY STAR®-certified roof, there’s no better time to get them than in the spring. Energy-efficient roofing works by blocking the heat from the sun, which helps reduce the radiant heat that the roof absorbs. This, in turn, helps reduce your home’s cooling requirements during the summer season, resulting in lower cooling costs. Getting an energy-efficient roof in the spring prepares your home for the coming summer season.
2. You won’t have to rush. Summer is the peak season for most types of home improvements, including roof replacement. Unless you schedule your roof replacement really early, you’re less likely to get your contractor of choice on the dates that you want. Spring season, on the other hand, isn’t as busy. You can pick the dates that work best with you, with the contractor that best fits your needs.
3. Installation will be more efficient. Every major home improvement carries the risks of delays, typically due to weather changes, logistical issues, or prolonged paperwork processing. With fewer homeowners doing their home improvements during spring, you have less “competition,” which means unavoidable delays will have less impact on your roofing project. Comparatively, delayed projects in summer can be a problem if your contract booked their projects too close together, as other projects down the line will also likely get delayed.
4. Installation errors can be addressed sooner. Installation errors can happen, and the sign of a responsible roofing contractor is they have a guarantee to correct such errors. However, correcting roofing problems will still require the contractor to schedule an appointment, which can be difficult during peak seasons. This, fortunately, is less of a problem during the spring season.
Of course, working with a roofing contractor with manufacturer certifications and a history of impeccable roofing installation, like Fields Roof Service, can help make sure that your new roof is finished on time and within budget.
