While installing a new roof in the wintertime is entirely possible (and sometimes even recommended), it’s important to note that winter roofing is definitely not the ideal thing to consider. When working in the winter, roofers can’t guarantee that their work will be 100% as effective as in other seasons, and the conditions they work in can lead to sickness, injury and the delay of the project.

Depending on the type of roof you decide to install, there are a lot of issues that have to be taken into account, and that most experienced roofing Highlands Ranch contractors know about. For instance, in the case of asphalt shingle roofs, the sealant required to create an automatic seal for your shingles will not work as well in the winter. Low temperatures can prevent heat from activating the sealant or glue, so it has to be artificially heated to produce the same result.

It’s also important to note that the crew will work more slowly and have a harder time in the winter. As a result, you have two options: either wait for the crew to finish even if it means a substantial delay in the project’s progression towards completion, or hire an experienced roofing team that works faster and more efficiently, but also charges a lot more for the labor.
