Hey there, friend!
If you’re sitting cozy in your Denver home wondering about the best time to give your roof the makeover it deserves, you’ve landed in the right spot. As a part of the Ernie’s Roofing clan, where we’ve been hammering away at roofs since ’78, I’ve got a tale or two to share about the ins and outs of roof replacement.
So, grab a cup of Joe, and let’s chat about when to swap out those shingles for a sturdy new top hat for your home.
The Seasonal Guide to Roof Replacement
You see, timing is everything – not just in comedy but in roofing too! And here in Denver, where the weather likes to keep us on our toes, picking the right season can make all the difference.
Spring into Action
Spring, with its promise of renewal, might have you itching to get started. It’s a great time, for sure. The snow’s melted away, and those warmer days make it comfy for us roofers to be up there, not to mention it’s easier on the materials. But, here’s a pro tip: watch out for those April showers! You don’t want us playing slip ‘n slide on your roof.
Summer: The Busy Bee Season
Come summer, everyone’s thinking the same thing – “Let’s get that roof done!” It’s peak season in the roofing world. The weather’s reliable, and the days are long, giving us plenty of sunlight to work with. But remember, with high demand comes a bit of a wait. Plus, those scorching mid-summer days can be tough on both the crew and the asphalt shingles.
Fall: The Golden Hour
Ah, fall – it’s the sweet spot. Cooler temps, stable weather, and that gentle nudge of the upcoming winter make fall the go-to season for roof replacement in Denver. It’s the perfect time for your new roof to seal and settle before the snow hits. Plus, you get to jump into winter worry-free about what’s overhead.
Winter Workarounds
Now, winter roofing isn’t off the table, especially with our unpredictable Denver weather. It’s doable, especially for those emergency fixes. You might even snag a deal! But, it’s tricky – the cold can mess with materials, and snow can delay schedules. It’s all about playing it by ear and having a flexible mindset.
Choosing Your Roofing Squad
When it’s time to pick who’s climbing up there, remember, not all heroes wear capes – some come armed with ladders and shingles. You want a licensed roofer in your corner, someone who knows the ins and outs of insurance claims and can guide you through the process. And if you’re thinking about adding some seamless gutters into the mix, make sure they’re part of the plan from the get-go.
