Do Roofers Work In The Winter?
Yes! Ice and snow don’t stop roofers from winter roof work! Compared to the summer, where roof temperatures can reach close to 120 degrees, winter roof work conditions are actually preferred by roofers! Throughout the winter we install asphalt roofs, make roof repairs, fix ice dams, conduct emergency services, and more! Like most roofing contractors, we don’t close down in the winter just because of snow. One would be surprised by how much winter roof work is done among roofing contractors.
PROS
1. Fixes The Problem Immediately

2. Lowers Heat Bill
Heating bills can take a toll on your wallet. You’re only increasing the price by letting warm air escape through cracks and holes in your roof!
3. Better Storm Defense
An old, damaged, and/or outdated roof will not win a fight against the next winter storm! Installing a new roof during the winter season will keep your home and family safe from leaks and/or water damage.
4. Favorable Pricing
The best time to buy from a contractor is when things are slow. Plus, both materials, labor and insurance increases occur early spring before the season begins. Buy it now and take advantage of favorable pre-spring pricing. See your GF Sprague rep for details.
CONS
1. Shingles Take Longer to Seal
Asphalt shingles require a certain temperature for their sealant to fully adhere to the roof. Colder temperatures can make the process more time-consuming than a job done in the summer. Our certified experts install to industry and manufacturer standards, delivering you a high performing roof, without compromise!
2. Harder To Schedule
With the winter season comes holidays, winter vacations, activities, and a season that seems just a little more “busy.” Scheduling time for roof work during the winter could add another item to your “to-do” list. Fortunately. roofing tends to slow down in the winter for most contractors which means favorable scheduling. Get a new roof faster!
3. Bearing The Cold
Ice and snow create hazardous conditions for roofers. The craftsmen at GF Sprague are carefully trained to maneuver in dangerous situations. Our Whoever Warranty is your assurance no matter the month, season, or weather the job will always be done right. Period.
