Winter’s Right Around The Corner – Time to Fix Your Roof!
As summer winds down and winter looms in the not-so-distant future, homeowners will start to scramble to complete the home improvement projects they had set out to do at the beginning of the year. Its for this reason that roofing contractors and construction companies find the fall to be their busiest time of year, and if you haven’t done so yet, it’s a wise idea to start getting estimates now so you can complete the project before the season ends. Winters in NYC are no joke, and roofing contractors in Queens are going to be very busy over the next few months!
If it’s a roofing job that you are going to take on, it’s always best to get the job done before winter. With all the crazy weather New York City winters bring, if you try to complete a roofing project in January, you’re likely to get delayed in the event of inclement weather. Besides, the weather conditions in New York and Queens are optimal for roof repair during the fall months because of the cooler temperatures.
With winter in mind, be sure to ask your roofing contractors to show you what they do to prevent ice dams from forming on your roof. Ice dams are the leading cause of leaks in roofs during the winter months, and they can cost you thousands of dollars if your roof isn’t installed with the right materials and methods. Make sure to ask about underlayment the roofers use as well as what type of ventilation they install to keep temperature evenly distributed underneath your ply boards, a key factor in preventing ice dams.
