Are Roof Repairs Possible in the Winter? What Are Their Drawbacks?

Contents

Even though fixing your roof in the winter is possible, many roofing Canton MI experts will tell you that it would be best not to attempt it. Depending on the type of roof you have, the use of common materials that fix problems fast during a repair can be uncommonly difficult when you use them below a certain temperature. For instance, the roof cement that you might use to fix an asphalt shingle roof will not stick properly if it gets too cold, and there are also many sealants used in commercial roofing that have the same issue.

 

Aside from the technological limitations of roofing, there are also health limitations. Working at the top of a building or a tall house for a long time in the cold, especially when the wind is blowing quite strongly, is almost like a foolproof recipe for getting sick. You might be able to fix your roof, but you could also end up spending a few weeks in bed afterwards.

 

Of course, in some cases the repair of your roof simply can’t wait and the problem cannot be ignored. In that case, a temporary fix is usually best. To get it done quickly consider calling a roofer or doing a patchwork repair of your roof as a quick DIY project, just to prevent rainwater from making it to your attic. Then, once the freeze subsides and the temperature is a little more forgiving, you can think about repairing the roof properly.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
