WHEN DOES THE ASPHALT ROOFING SEASON END? Love Your Roof
Introduction The duration of the asphalt roofing season can vary depending on your location. However, it is possible to install new asphalt shingles as long as temperatures are mild, and the chance of wind, rain and snow is low.
Shingles Becoming Brittle At cold temperatures, the nails cannot safely penetrate the shingle without compromising the asphalt in the shingle. Asphalt shingles by GAF and CertainTeed come with certain warranty coverage when it comes to installation in cold weather.
Lower Safety Another common reason why roofing companies avoid working in sub-zero temperatures is safety concerns. Cold temperatures can lead to the build-up of frost on the shingles and roof deck which can make the work area slippery.
Equipment Failure The compressors and nail guns needed to install a new roof cannot work to their full potential in below-freezing temperatures. This can lead to delays and inefficiencies in the application of the shingles.
Alternatives to Asphalt Shingles Shingles are specifically designed to protect your roof from storm damage and extreme weather. Unlike asphalt shingles, they come with a polymer-based mesh on the back which prevents them from breaking.
Conclusion One of the most commonly asked questions by homeowners is when is the best time to replace your asphalt shingles. Although many roofing companies limit their roof replacement contracts to high season, it is possible to replace a roof in late fall, winter, and early spring.
