Cold and Inclement Weather Roofing
Yes, the roofing season is spring through fall, but what about roofing in winter? Winter roofing is not a problem but it is more restrictive. The new shingles MUST be installed over a dry surface. Here in the Northwest the number of days of dry weather in the winter is limited. During the spring and summer months there is measurable rainfall from 15 to 30 % of the days. In winter, there are dry days from 35 to 50% of the time. As long as a roof job is planned for a dry spell, roofing a home is entirely possible. But there are a couple things to keep in mind.
Cold weather causes asphalt shingles to stiffen a bit and be a little harder to work with, especially on forming curves like on roof caps. It is important the roofer be prepared to heat these special shingles before applying them. The second thing that is important to know is that asphalt shingles have a seal strip on them. The strip adheres one layer of shingle to the layer below, preventing lifting and blow off in heavy winds. The adhesive strip is heat activated and while manufacturers are reluctant to specify a temperature where sealing occurs one should assume a series of warm spring days are required for this to occur.
The problem with installing the roof in the winter and waiting until spring for the roof to seal is that it is subject to potential wind damage and the build up of debris that will keep the shingle from ever sealing. The solution? Roof sealant. Roofs installed in cold weather must be installed using hand sealing using an approved sealant. This adds additional labor to a project. Adding roof sealant along with the tabbed asphalt seal will prolong the life of your roof, as it is a known fact that tabbed asphalt seal alone will eventually fail and shingles will be lost to wind. In fact manufacturers require hand sealing of shingles on steep roofs simply because the weight of the shingles may cause the seal to fail and the shingle lost.
Hand sealing a roof creates a superior roof installation, any time of the year. So, doing your roof in winter when roofers are less hurried and have more time to focus on you may provide you a better deal in the long run. For more information, talk to the professional roofers. There are a number of qualified Newcastle roofers, including Emerald State Roofing, that can help you.
Elisa's Review
Let us be honest, no one gets excited to have to buy a new roof. However, if you are in need of a roof, do yourself a favor and call Emerald State. Not only was their price the best out of several quotes I got, the level of expertise and professionalism I received was worth it's weight in gold. Everyone I worked with was absolutely amazing. Jim was incredible to work with. He made me feel like I was part of the Emerald State family and went above and beyond in every aspect of my roof being replaced. We were in constant contact and I felt incredible confident working with such an outstanding company. On top of that, the work on my roof was slick. Three days, and my new beautiful roof was up. It looks fabulous and I have such peace of mind knowing I will not have to deal with any leaks or issues. Not only that, you would not be able to tell that I had any work done at all. The clean up the crew did was over the top. My yard looked better after they left than before they got here. Incredible company and you would be a fool not to call them.
