While roof repairs are more comfortably done in
summer, if the roofing problem emerges in winter, there is no reason why it
could not be fixed when the temperatures are freezing. As a matter of fact,
roofing contractors need to work during the cold season as well and they are
quite happy to work on your roof in winter, as work is pretty scarce for them
during that period.
Roofing work can be definitely done in winter,
but the low temperatures and the special conditions that need to be tackled on
icy or snow-covered roofs limit the type of processes and the materials that
can be used. If it is a shingle roof that needs to be repaired and the work
involves the installation of new shingles, extra care must be taken not to bend
the shingles because they crack easily when it is very cold outside. Metal
roofs can be easily installed and repaired in cold weather as well, but when it
comes to flat roofs, only PVC and TPO roofs can be safely installed in winter –
the other types of flat roofing systems, such as rubber roofs should not be
installed when the temperature is lower than 40 degrees because the adhesive
may freeze and will not fix the components properly. For roof repairs, contact a local roofer at https://www.expertroofinginc.com/areas-served/illinois/mchenry-county/roofing-company-in-algonquin-il/.
