This is simply untrue. For an experienced crew, roofing in the winter is not only possible, it requires little to no more work than replacing a roof in warm weather. It’s understandable to think that winter weather would make conditions unsafe for a roofing crew. The truth of the matter is there are always precautions to be taken in the dangerous profession of roofing. In winter, an experienced roofing crew will take slightly different precautions and still be able to do an efficient, effective job.

Most people don't think winter is a good time to do big, exterior home improvement projects. It makes sense — winter weather generally doesn’t make construction projects easier. However, there are some home improvement projects that can still be done in winter and might even be preferable to do in colder months. One of these projects is a roof replacement.
Replacing a roof is always a somewhat dangerous job. Working at heights requires an extreme amount of caution. A good crew can adjust their precautions to fit winter climates. Yes, they may have to rake or shovel snow off a roof, but this tacks on a negligible amount of time. Also, many experienced roofers actually prefer to work in cold temperatures! Working on a roof in summer temps is exhausting, and for many, cold temperatures make the work more manageable.
If you live in the Ann Arbor area and are thinking about having a roof replacement this winter, contact the experts at Roofman USA. Our crew can still do your job this winter, and we’re happy to talk to you about our proprietary roofing system whenever you’re ready!
What about Fall? Well, we think it’s the perfect time to replace your roof! Fall’s moderate temperatures and calmer weather make it the right time to replace a damaged roof before winter comes along and makes it worse. The longer you live with a damaged roof, the worse that damage will get.
Replacing your roof before winter can lower your energy costs, keep your family more comfortable, and keep out any local critters looking for a cozy attic for their winter home.
