A roof replacement is a major home improvement project. It can be costly, and you might be tempted to avoid facing that large expense as long as possible. Delaying a roof replacement project can be an expensive mistake, however. If you wait until winter to replace your roof, your house may suffer serious damage, and it may not be possible for a contractor to install a new roof right away.

Winter Weather Can Make Roof Damage More Severe

If your roof already has damaged or missing shingles and gaps or holes, things will only get worse if you don’t have the roof replaced now. Ignoring those problems will likely lead to leaks in the attic and damage to your house’s structural support members and insulation.

Delaying Roof Replacement Can Lead to High Winter Heating Bills

A damaged roof can’t do a good job of insulating your home and keeping it at a comfortable temperature. If you don’t replace the roof now, when you turn on the furnace in the winter, a significant amount of heat may escape.

That means the furnace will have to work harder to warm the house, and you’ll have to contend with high utility bills. Then, when spring arrives, you’ll have to pay to have the roof replaced. You can avoid unnecessary expenses by replacing your roof before winter.

Don’t Wait for a Winter Storm to Address Roofing Issues

If your roof is showing signs of impairment, its best to address them before any snow or inclement weather can create more damage on your home. Even if there is a period of time with mild weather, it may come after a major snowstorm that causes significant damage to your roof.

If your roof needs to be replaced, your best bet is to do it as soon as possible so you won’t have to worry about problems during the winter. Call LaBrusciano Roofing & Exteriors today at (610) 624-8850 to get a quote for roof replacement before winter.
