If you live in the south, then typically late summer through mid fall months are the best times of year for roofing work. It’s always best to try to schedule several weeks in advance as most roofing companies will be the busiest during this time of year.

If you are on the fence about if it’s time or not, then one thing to consider is that new composition shingles need to undergo thermal sealing, which can take a few days or possibly even weeks when temperatures are 40 degrees or more.
