You know that your roof will eventually need to be replaced as a homeowner. Although the process is not easy, there are some things you can do to make it easier. You can schedule your residential roof replacement at a particular time of the year.
Seasons May Affect Your Roof Installation.
Florida property owners should plan construction projects during the most convenient times of year. This is true for residential roof replacements. According to roofing experts spring and winter are the best seasons for a roof replacement. Why? Hurricane season can make Florida’s weather unpredictable in the summer and fall. Floridians can expect hot temperatures, heavy rain, high winds and uncomfortable humidity from June 1st through November 30th. These conditions can make it difficult to build and could cause delays in any plans. Florida’s winters are not known for their snowfall. Winter weather is not something residential roofers have to deal with, as snowstorms aren’t common. In an effort to be ready for hurricane season, homeowners might decide to have their roofs replaced in spring.
Consider Your Current Roof Condition.
Consider the age of your roof, condition of your walls and ceiling, as well as the condition of your remaining roofing materials before you decide when to replace it. It is important to consider the time of year when scheduling your roof replacement. However, urgent roofing issues can accelerate your timeline.
First, find out the age of your roof. An asphalt shingle roof should last between 12-15 years. Tile roofs typically last longer. You should replace your roofing system as soon as your roof reaches its replacement age. Take note of how your Florida roof is wearing down. Your roof is exposed to the elements every day. Your roof’s lifespan can be affected by rainwater and ultraviolet rays. Roof decay can be caused by missing or curled shingles, which can lead to roof decay. This could leave your roof susceptible to internal damage. Finally, assess any water damage. Water damage to your roof or walls can cause structural problems.
It is time to replace your roof if your roof has been subjected to any of these problems. Your roof is more likely to continue to decline the longer you wait.
