Q. Is winter a good time to replace a roof?

A. Actually, yes. Many good crews are available in the winter, and while it’s true we might get the occasional snowstorm, the Truckee Meadows has many consecutive good working days during these months. Plus, many manufacturers would love to move inventory in the off-season, meaning prices are much more negotiable in January than in May or June. Winter is also most often the season when an old roof begins to show its weaknesses. If you’re finding winter’s high winds and driving rain are doing damage, then you should investigate replacing your roof – rather than just repairing it. Installing a beautiful, permanent metal roof eliminates the need to replace it again and upgrades your entire home at the same time.

If a roof is on your list of things to do, don't rule it out this time of year.
