Is it Safe to Install Roofs throughout the Entire Year in Colorado?
You can install roofs all year long throughout most of Colorado! There are days that it will not be warm enough for our company to replace a roof. I'll tell you more in a moment.Does the Temperature Matter?
Typically, as long as we get temps that are 40 degrees and higher it is safe to install roofs. If the temps are below 40 degrees there is a possibility that the shingle will not seal , so we may stop the installation and come back on a day that is warm enough to make sure the shingles will seal properly. There are multiple items that we take into consideration before we begin a roof install. It's important for the Colorado Springs Roofer to monitor the weather of the specific location in which the roof is to be installed. Even in the Springs temperatures and weather vary tremendously from one part of town to the next. Many times in the Winter snowfall may occur along the front range while the south eastern corner of Colorado Springs is experiencing a nice 40 degree blue bird day with very little wind. In the image to the left, there is entirely too much snow on the roof. Even if the temps are above 40 degrees the roofer needs to wait for the majority of the snow to melt. The average temps for Jan, Feb, and March in Colorado Springs is 43-48 degrees. Let's recap some of the winter weather conditions that we look for in considering whether or not we will install an asphalt shingle. The temperature, wind, sunshine and snow all play a part in determine whether it's safe to install a roof. Not only are we concerned about the day of the install, but the following day may be equally as important.
