It's Not Yet Too Late To Have Roofing Maintenance

As highly-experienced roofers in South Windsor, CT, we cannot stress the critical importance of having roofing maintenance during autumn, the season before winter. The consecutive season brings many destructive forces capable of aggravating and causing massive damage to your roofing material and property. With roofing maintenance, your roofers can conduct minor fixes guaranteeing the roof's prolonged and assured performance throughout the cold season.

Roofing maintenance continues to save many South Windsor, CT homeowners so much money because it costs only 10% of a typical roofing repair service to have two scheduled routine maintenance. Commercial properties continue to have third-party professional roofing maintenance services because of its enormous benefits and guaranteed roofing protection each time.

Winter can create ice dams, which push through low and high-slope roofs. Consequently, these cause massive damages to your roofing material, molding, and structure. You might have roof heaters, but you'll be in deep trouble if they're not effectively working -- something a third-party roofing maintenance service will never ignore.

While it's a bit late into the season, autumn is the perfect roofing maintenance season. Pfister Roofing lists the best reasons why. Read more about it below.

If you’re considering replacing or repairing your roof, it’s best to wait for the autumn season for the following reasons:

End of the stormy season

Severe weather events that damage roofs are far more likely during the spring and summer. Fall is the ideal time to assess any damage that may have occurred during the stormy months and determine what roofing services are necessary. Drier weather during the autumn months makes them ideal for roof work, as rain can cause delays in roofing work and impact its quality.

Conditions are perfect. Experts agree that roofing is best installed when the temperature is between 45 to  50 degrees Fahrenheit

This is particularly true if your roofers are installing asphalt shingles, the most commonly used type of roofing material. Temperate temperatures help facilitate better thermal sealing of asphalt shingles, ensuring that they firmly adhere to the roof. Also, cooler fall temperatures make work more comfortable for the professionals installing or repairing your roof.

Cold winter temperatures make shingles more difficult to work with

When temperatures are cold, shingles tend to become brittle and more likely to break when roofers are nailing them to the roof. They often have to put aside their roofing guns and hand nail shingles, causing delays and higher costs.

Proper sealing

By getting the work done in autumn, new shingles have enough time to adequately bond to the roof before wet winter weather arrives. This helps them better insulate your home from cold temperatures and moisture. (Continued)
