Is It Time For A New Roof?

Here in Buffalo, NY, when you think “spring,” probably one of the last things you think is “roof replacements.” After all, spring is a cantankerous, unpredictable season in Western New York. While we have days of glorious, perfect 60-degree days with sunshine, they’re often surrounded by weeks of rain or even snow. Most people would think it’s better to wait until later in the year to schedule roofing repairs. But actually, this isn’t the case! Working with a roofing company in spring can be a great idea. Here are three reasons why it makes sense to get your roofing project underway in spring. i. Roofing contractors have relatively clear schedules. In Western New York, many people prefer to wait until summer or fall to get their roofs fixed - which means that roofing contractors’ schedules fill up fast during those months. By scheduling your roof replacement for spring, you beat the rush and can often get your roof job done even faster (weather permitting). Depending on how busy your contractor is, you might even get a better deal. ii. The weather might actually be better for a roof repair. The ideal temperature for a roof replacement is 50-70 degrees - perfect spring weather! While humidity and precipitation can be issues, here in Western New York, those issues are likely to strike at any time of year. Even a gloomy, cloudy spring day can be great for a roof repair since you don’t want direct sunlight hitting your roof during the replacement process. iii. Your roof will be taken care of well before winter. Even if you think the weather is better for roof replacement during summer and fall, there’s a danger: your roofing company might not be able to get to your job before the snow flies. The last thing you want to do is suffer through a long Western New York winter with a leaky roof, hoping it lasts until the spring comes. Get that roof fixed now so you don’t have to worry! These are just a few of the reasons why we think it’s best to have your roof replaced in spring - there are many others!

While the summer months may not stick around WNY for long, the warm weather and temperature increases are sure to affect homeowners across the region.

When homeowners are considering new windows, vinyl windows are often the go-to choice. They are a popular option on the market and come with several advantages over other window options. Vinyl windows are made of a plastic material, called PVC. This allows them to be more cost-friendly than other options, and deflect issues that other window types may face. So, why should you consider vinyl windows as your new or replacement windows? Let’s begin with the benefits.
