July 1, 2024

Why It’s Important to Schedule Your New Roof Before Fall

It’s crucial to consider the state of your roof during summer and plan any necessary repairs or replacements before fall arrives. Here at Dick’s Roof Repair, we have been serving Kenosha, Racine, Walworth, and Southern Milwaukee Counties since 1957. Our expertise spans three generations, making us your go-to professionals for all your roofing needs, including tear-offs, re-roofing, repairs, rubber roofing, roofing underlayment, inspections, skylight replacement, and new construction.

Why Schedule Your Roof Work Before Fall?

1. Weather Conditions:

Fall brings unpredictable weather, including rain, wind, and cooler temperatures, which can complicate roofing projects. Scheduling your roof work in the summer or early fall ensures better weather conditions for a smooth and efficient job.

2. Preventing Further Damage

A compromised roof can lead to significant issues during the fall and winter months. Leaks, water damage, and structural issues are more likely to occur if your roof is not in top condition. Proactively addressing these problems can save you from costly repairs later.

3. Increased Availability

Roofing companies are often less busy before the fall rush, allowing you to schedule your project at a time that suits you best. This also means that materials and labor might be more readily available, reducing wait times.

4. Energy Efficiency

A well-maintained roof can significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency. Insulating your roof properly can help keep your home warmer during the colder months, reducing your heating costs.

Roof Facts and Statistics

  • Lifespan: The average lifespan of a roof varies depending on the material. Asphalt shingles last about 20-30 years, while metal roofs can last 50 years or more.
  • Leaks: According to the National Roofing Contractors Association, 40% of all building-related problems are due to water intrusion, with a significant portion originating from the roof.
  • Energy Loss: The Department of Energy states that 25% of a home’s heat loss is due to an improperly insulated roof.

Ensuring your roof is in top condition can prevent these issues and enhance your home’s longevity and efficiency.
