Yes, you can Replace Your Roof in the Winter
Replacing your roof during winter is not as uncommon as you think. Certain circumstances, like location and harsh Minnesota weather conditions, can make the roof replacement process slower and more expensive due to more dangerous working conditions. However, the upside is that there is low demand for roofing during the winter.
It is essential to hire a reputable roofing company that can assess whether the cold weather will impact the quality of your roof replacement. Restorations by Highmark’s residential restoration services include roof repair and replacement. Our team of certified roofers is experienced and comfortable working in cold temperatures and has zero problem adapting to the weather.
