If your roof needs some work, you may be tempted to assume that the best time for those repairs is during the warmer seasons of the year.\u00a0 However, there are actually several good reasons to have your roof repaired when the snow flies.\u00a0 Most roofing companies such as Southern Roofing Calgary<\/a> offer their services year round and there are lots of reasons to take advantage of that.\u00a0 Let\u2019s explore the best reasons to have your roof replaced in the winter.<\/p>\n

\"Roof<\/p>\n

The potential for leaks<\/strong><\/p>\n

When ice dams form in your home\u2019s eaves, disaster can very soon follow.\u00a0 Ice dams are formed when snow builds up on the roof, then melts and refreezes at the edge of the roof line. This can result in serious leaks in the house.\u00a0 Repairing your roof at the beginning of winter means not having to worry about ice dams and their damaging effects.<\/p>\n

Winter can exacerbate existing problems<\/strong><\/p>\n

It can be tempting to \u201cwait out\u201d the winter with a bad roof with plans of a springtime fixup.\u00a0 However, that\u2019s a big mistake.\u00a0 If your roof is already in poor repair, winter conditions will only serve to make things worse.\u00a0 Cold temperatures can make shingles brittle and prone to cracking and curling, which can lead to leaks.\u00a0 Moreover, snow and ice are very heavy, and if there are structural issues with your roof that extra weight can result in cave-ins.<\/p>\n

Winter isn\u2019t a busy time for roofers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although most roofers<\/a> offer year-round service (as already mentioned) there are definitely times of the year that are busier and harder to get appointments.\u00a0 Winter is generally a slower time for roofing companies.\u00a0 That means that you can potentially get much faster service than you would if you were to book your repair in spring, summer or even autumn.\u00a0 Instead of having to wait weeks or months for an appointment, you may be able to get one in just a few days.\u00a0 For many homeowners, this is the number-one reason to have roofing repairs done in the winter.<\/p>\n

Aside from quicker appointment times, there\u2019s another reason the fact that winter is the slow season works in your favour:\u00a0 you can save money.\u00a0 Because roofing companies want to attract customers to their business in their slow season, most will offer discounts for appointments booked during those months.\u00a0 It\u2019s better for the roofing company to offer you a discount during the winter than if they had to lay off their employees during that time.\u00a0 What\u2019s more, they will offer the same warranty on their parts and labour as they would if you had booked your appointment at any other time of the year.\u00a0 Winter weather does not mitigate the warranty in any way.\u00a0 If conditions are such that the roofer feels as though it is not optimal to do the repairs, they won\u2019t do them.<\/p>\n

If your roof needs some repairs, you may not have considered having those repairs done after the snow flies.\u00a0 However, as illustrated here, there are actually several very good reasons to call a roofing contractor<\/a> in the winter.\u00a0 You will head off potentially serious issues, get an earlier appointment time, save money and have the same warranty that is offered at every other time of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
