5 Reasons Why NOW is the Time to Schedule Roof Repairs and Replacements.
If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to tackle those long-overdue roof repairs or finally take a look into into a full replacement - now is the time. Spring and summer aren’t just warmer months, they’re peak roofing season. Essentially, this season is the perfect window of opportunity to prepare your business for the long winter ahead.
Whether it’s rising material costs, the threat of late-summer storms or just the peace of mind that comes with being proactive, here’s why getting started on your roofing project now can save your roof from the costly surprises that may come later on.
1. Avoid the Backlog
Roofing projects in the spring and summer book up FAST but roofing projects take time. There is usually a four to six week time period between committing to your roofing project and beginning the installation process. Once we finally have the opportunity to get up on your roof, it may take weeks or months to complete your roofing project depending on various aspects. The size, scope of work and complexity of your roof system directly affect how long it will take to finish your project. From inspections and approvals to material sourcing and execution, scheduling now gives you flexibility and a smoother experience overall. When you plan ahead, we are able to align with YOUR timeline, not the other way around. Instead of racing the clock during the busiest months of the year, look into getting a head start now.
2. Lock in Lower Costs Before Prices Rise
As you know, the roofing industry may face a major economic shift. Between inflation and seasonal labor shortages, roofing costs can fluctuate quickly! Add in the possibility of tariff increases or material shortages and you may be facing a roofing project that’s far out of your price range. By getting on the schedule now, you can lock in current pricing and make smarter financial decisions for your business. We’re here to work with your budgetary needs to find a roofing solution sooner rather than later.
3. Ideal Weather Means Better Roofing Conditions
Depending on the severity, heavy storms, extreme heat or leftover snow could potentially delay projects or impact installation quality. When we’re able to work in calm conditions, this can allow for safer, more efficient work. Springtime offers some of the best weather conditions for conducting roof work! Dry weather is also great for materials that require specific temperature and humidity levels such as coatings, spray foam, adhesives and more. By acting now, you give your contractor the ideal environment to deliver roofing solutions with high-quality results.
4. Stay Ahead of Storm Season
Late summer marks the start of hurricane season, bringing heavy rain and high winds to many regions across North America. This can result in costly emergency repairs, leaks and operational disruptions. Our advice is to play it safe AND smart when it comes to weather-related challenges. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and more intense, they don’t just pose a threat to your roof, they put your entire business at risk. Looking into a free roof inspection to determine any weak points or needed repairs on your roof can result in fewer disruptions and more peace of mind. Although we offer 24-hour emergency roof services, getting ahead of the forecast is the best way to keep your building watertight and avoid blow-offs.
5. Proactive Roofing with Long-Term Savings
A well-maintained commercial roof is truly an investment in your facility’s future. Bi-annual inspections and proactive repairs are your ticket to reducing energy costs, preventing major damage and extending the life of your roof system. If your roof is old, has visible wear or hasn’t been inspected in the last 12 months, it’s urgent to prioritize your commercial roof.
As you can see, there’s a reason that facility managers and business owners take advantage of peak roofing season.
