Metal roofing is a great option if you are looking for a long term roofing solution. Metal can outlast many other roofing options at a fraction of the cost over a lifetime. Whether you are just starting to consider metal roofing, or you have loved your existing metal roof for many years, autumn is the best time for inspection, replacement, and repairs for your metal roofing.
-
November marks the end of the stormy season! With less possibility of a severe storm interrupting your progress, this time of year is perfect to expose any vulnerable material underneath and make the necessary changes to your roof. Fall is also the ideal time to perform an annual roof inspection to assess any damage that occurred during severe weather events during the spring and summer stormy seasons.
-
Conditions are perfect! The drier climate of autumn allows for installation of material without building up an excess of humidity that can potentially effecting the overall quality of the roof. Metal can also become slick and difficult to work with under humid conditions. Plus, temperature this time of year is typically more agreeable for installation and inspections as it is neither too hot or too cold to be outside for an extended time.
-
Winter is just around the corner! Winter weather can exacerbate existing roof damage, so it's best to take care of any problem areas before Jack Frost visits. Just as importantly, a properly installed metal roof can help your home hold in more heat during the cold months, and shed snow and ice better than other roofing materials. Even if the weather is already turning to frosty winter patterns in your area, unlike shingles which can become brittle in low temperatures, metal can be installed at any temperature!
-
Roofing professionals are less busy! Unlike the warm spring and summer months, roofing companies are often not as booked on appointments during fall and winter which means less wait time for repairs or replacement. Pro-tip: Talk with your local Metal Mart for experienced local roofer suggestions that can help with your metal roofing project. Always check references when hiring a roofing professional.

It's the best time to check for (and evict!) unwanted guests! Insects and animals are preparing for the coming winter months; they want somewhere safe, dry, and warm to bed down for winter -- somewhere like your home! Catching these type of intruders early is key to preventing hidden damage to your interior structure. While birds tend to begin nesting during spring, many species of bugs and rodents are more prone to infiltrate in the fall. Whether performing a simple annual inspection or a full roof replacement, fall is a great time to get ahead of potential damage from uninvited critters.
