When is the best time to replace my roof?

Sometimes you need to replace your roof as soon as possible because it is causing damage to your home each time it rains. However, if you are being proactive and replacing the roof before it becomes an emergency, then, depending on your roofing system, you may want to replace it during an optimal time.

Tile roofs have no good or bad time, they can be replaced during any season. Foam is best applied when it isn’t humid or on cold days, which is perfect for our Arizona climate. The hot sun doesn’t affect the foam cure-time but it does need to be coated within 24 hours after applied or sooner on extremely hot days. Foam cannot be sprayed in the wind or if there is rain. On the rare occasion we have an extremely humid day, we may need to reschedule your foam roof instillation.

Shingles can be replaced any season but in the hot summer months of July and August they may only be installed for a few hours in the morning. The heat of our sun can make the shingles soft, which makes it difficult to work with in the afternoon. They can still be installed but the crews generally start as early as the noise ordinance allows and then stops around lunch time.
