Roof Replacement in Winter: What You Need to KnowSuccessful Roof Replacement in Winter

The key to a successful roof replacement in winter is to work with experienced roofing contractors. They will implement the following techniques to ensure that the replacement will be a success.

Keep the shingles warm. This can be accomplished by storing them in a heated room or garage. Keeping the shingles warm will help prevent them from becoming brittle and avoid being overdriven by nails during installation

Proper sealing for shingles. Usually, asphalt shingles have thermally activated asphalt sealant that will bond the shingles to the roof with the help of sunlight. The roofing professional will either wait for the temperature to get warm enough or will hand-seal each single when the temperature drops below 40 degrees.
