Why Spring is the Ideal Time for Roof Repairs and Replacements

As a homeowner in Texas, you’ve probably seen how our hot summers and stormy seasons can be hard on your roof. The intense heat, UV rays, high winds, hail and heavy rains can beat up your roof year after year. That’s why you need to get it checked and fixed regularly, which helps stop small problems from turning into big and expensive ones down the road.

We at Roof Republic think that spring is probably the best time for you to fix or replace your roof. There are good reasons why this time of year works best to give your roof the care it needs. When you take advantage of the benefits of having your roof worked on in the spring, you can make sure your home is ready to go before the summer months hit.

Advantage 1: Milder Temperatures

Spring can give you better weather for fixing your roof compared to other times of the year. The milder temperatures can make it easier for our crews to work on your home. Our team can move materials around, walk on your roof and finish the job faster without having to manage the intense Texas summer heat.

When we work on your roof in the spring, we don’t have to slow down because of the hot weather. Your project gets done faster and our workers stay safer too. That’s a real difference compared to summer projects where our teams need to take lots of breaks, drink more water and put on extra sunscreen to avoid getting too hot or burned.

Summer roofing jobs just take longer because of the heat. Our workers need to be careful not to get dehydrated or be affected by heat stroke, which slows everything down. In spring, the pleasant weather means we can fix your roof faster without these extra safety problems getting in the way.

Advantage 2: Fewer Weather Delays

In Texas, the spring season can give you much better weather for getting your roof fixed or replaced. You’ll experience fewer rain showers, thunderstorms and other bad weather that might stop the work. Texas weather can change quickly. But spring usually can give you some more sunny days and clear skies which is what you need for roof work.

The summer isn’t as good because it’s right in the middle of the storm season. You’ll have to deal with heavy rain, strong winds, hail and maybe even tornadoes. If a big storm hits, we have to stop working on your new roof immediately because keeping our crew safe is a top priority. The winter can be tough too, with freezes, ice storms and other delays from cold weather.

When you set up your roof work in the spring, you’re much less likely to run into weather problems. That helps us keep your project moving forward without delays so we can finish it when we said we would.

Advantage 3: Get Ahead of Storm Season

The Magnolia area can get hit with some pretty tough weather from May through October. Big thunderstorms, strong winds, large hail and sometimes even hurricanes and tornadoes can show up during this time. Your roof usually takes the biggest beating from the bad weather and it’s even worse if your roof is already old or damaged.

That’s why it might make sense to take care of any roof problems in the spring before the storms start coming. If your roof is nearing the end of its life, spring is a great time to consider a new one. When you have a strong, new roof, you’ll feel much more comfortable when those summer storms start rolling in.

You won’t have to worry about small leaks or a few missing shingles turning into a big water problem inside your house when it rains hard. With a brand new roof, you can get through the stormy season without constantly worrying if your old, beat-up roof will make it to the fall. It helps you sleep better at night knowing that your home is safe and dry.

Advantage 4: Exterior Spring Cleaning

Spring is the perfect time to take care of the outdoor home jobs that you might have put off during the cold winter months. Your roof isn’t the only part of your house that gets hit hard by winter weather and there are many other areas that need some love too.

When you get us to fix or put on a new roof in the spring, you could also line up additional outdoor jobs. These include removing the leaves and junk from your gutters – washing down your siding, driveway and walkways – cleaning your windows and adding some fresh caulk – putting a new coat of paint or stain on your outside trim – making sure that your heating and cooling system is running – and cutting back your plants while adding some fresh mulch.

It’s much easier to get your outdoor work done at the same time, so everything will look great for the summer. A great bonus is that businesses will give you a better price when you do a few jobs together!

Advantage 5: Best Pricing and Availability

At Roof Republic, we have some of the best deals on roofing work. That’s a big reason to get your repairs or replacement done during this season. When it comes to roofing, businesses usually don’t have as many customers in the spring because it’s right before the storm season starts. To get more business, they usually drop their prices and run deals that can save you a decent amount of money.

At Roof Republic, we always try hard to keep our prices fair and basic no matter what time of year it is. That said, we do have some pretty nice spring deals that might make your new roof a little cheaper. We try our best to make sure that you can fit a spring roof replacement into your budget without it being too expensive!

Another benefit of picking spring for your roofing project is that you can usually get on our schedule faster. You won’t have to wait as long for us to start working on your home because our calendar tends to fill up very fast in the summer and fall after storms pass through the area.

Bottom Line: Spring is Ideal for Roof Work

Spring is the best time to fix up your roof! You’ll probably get quite a bit more benefit from planning your repairs, replacements or regular maintenance during these months. The weather isn’t too hot or too cold and there’s a smaller chance of rain delays messing up your schedule – it should give you plenty of time to get everything ready before those big summer storms start.

One nice thing about working on your roof in the spring is that you can take care of other outside home projects at the same time. It’s a good opportunity to give your whole house a fresh, updated look without having to schedule multiple projects throughout the year.

You’ll also save some money during this time. Most roofing businesses (like us at Roof Republic) aren’t as busy in the spring, so you might find better prices and open slots in our schedule to fit you in when you want.

If you’re finding missing shingles, leaks or any kind of damage to your roof, don’t put it off until summer when everyone else is trying to get their roofs fixed. Jump ahead of the crowd and call Roof Republic for a free roof inspection and price quote while spring is still here. You’ll feel much better when those summer storms hit and your roof is already in good shape!
