When is the Right Time to Install a New Roof to Save Cost?

Roofing contractors all work year-round, which means a homeowner could reach out to them for new roof installation or replacement anytime. The prices, however, are steep during the peak season and the homeowner may save a lot of money if they get the job done at a time when there is less rush. An effective way to go about roof installation or replacement is to plan ahead, get price quotes and check if there are certain weather-related restrictions with the roofing material. Let’s look at a few essential things to consider so that it doesn’t become an overly priced or out-of-budget construction expense for the homeowner:


What is the Right Time for the New Roof Installation Project?


Fall Season


Fall is the busiest time of the year for roofing companies. There could be a situation, wherein, a homeowner has to wait for even a month to start the roof installation or replacement. As the weather gets more predictable after the rainy season, there is an increase in demand for roof restoration and replacement. Fall is the busiest season and the most expensive time for roof construction and repair-related jobs. Constructing all asphalt shingle and rubber flat roofs take a longer time as these jobs require ambient temperature over 40 F degrees. 

Spring Season


Roof construction picks up pace during spring, the reason being:
- People spend a lot of money in the holiday season preceding new year and are unable to afford roofing construction during winter
- People are hesitant to install a new roof in winter months because of cold weather and snow

Homeowners get a better hold on their finances and some receive tax returns too during spring season. They don’t need to worry about cold and snow, which means it is an ideal time to go ahead with roof construction. The rush, however, increases at the start of the season – so it is advisable to wait until May.

Summer Season


Summer is slow but steady time for the roof construction companies. There is less rush as many people go on summer vacations. The more time a roofer gets, better would be the quality of installation and repair. Try to get in touch with the roofing company before the summer vacations start so that there’s more time to finalize everything and the job is not done in a hurry.

Winter Season


If the geographic location or the roofing material allows, winter is the ideal time to install or repair the roof. Many roofing companies do not have much work during this period and there’s a possibility of getting cheaper price quotes. Though winter is the right time to install metal roofs in southern states, those living in the northern US need to avoid installing asphalt shingles in winters.


Important Considerations


Homeowners need to schedule the roof installation, renovation or repair in advance so that there’s more time to compare the price and choose the right roofing material. Most roof repair companies increase the price of the roofing material in spring and early fall, so consider these factors too when planning for the roofing work.
