The weather is cold outside and unfortunately, your roof is failing! You've put off getting a new roof as long as possible, but the damage is too bad to ignore any longer. You'll have to get a roof replacement in the New England winter.
So, what material makes the best choice for your home?
At Advanced Metal Roofing, our team prefers metal roofing vs asphalt shingles. In fact, we've been metal roof installers since 1966.
Why Choose Metal Roofing Installation in Winter?
Homeowners choose metal roofing installations during the cold season for a number of reasons. One of the biggest reasons being the higher success rate for the finished roof.
Metal roofing panels don't use adhesive strips to create a weathertight seal, unlike asphalt shingles. Instead, metal panels use mechanical fasteners and interlocking panel designs to create the seals.
Cold temperatures are a problem for asphalt shingles because they use a heat-activated adhesive to create a strong, water-resistant seal. If the shingles are installed in winter, this seal won't be activated until the temperatures heat up. Your asphalt roof will be more vulnerable to water damage until this happens.
Added Benefits of Cold-Weather Metal Roof Installation
When you get a metal roof replacement during cold weather, you'll also benefit from:
- Fewer Installation Risks & Delays: Metal panels are just more durable and resistant to breaking compared to asphalt shingles. If the weather is cold enough, the shingles can even become brittle and more likely to crack.
- Increased Convenience: Roofs don't always fail during warm weather. If you have to get a winter roof replacement or even need an emergency roof replacement, you'll be able to get a sealed, water-resistant system right away.
- Faster Installation: Asphalt shingles may require manual sealing to secure them properly to a rooftop, which can greatly slow down installation speed even with experienced contractors.
