Holding Off On Kelly’s Roof Replacement? It
Helped Ensure We Could Do The Job Right
For Her And Her Austin-Area Household
At Willi Roofing, We Account For All Factors
That Impact The Success Of Your Project
Want the best possible outcome on your Austin-area roof replacement project? It’s crucial to consider all the factors that can impact the process. That includes the weather.
Certain weather conditions make the roofing process easier all around. However, others can be so disruptive that it’s best to delay until the situation changes.
This was the case on the day Kelly M. had set aside for her Willi Roofing Services project.
Rain was working its way across the region. We weren’t sure how long it would last. But the threat was real, so we decided to hit pause and start again the following day.
Kelly wasn’t sure if that was the right move. But we were. Her project was slightly delayed, but in the end, we delivered on our commitment to provide a level of service worthy of her later 5-star review.
Weather Conditions And Roof Replacement
Weather must always be considered on a roof replacement project. That’s true because certain conditions make it difficult or impossible for your roofing contractor to do great work.
One such scenario is a day with high winds. Excessive wind speeds can not only scatter roofing materials assembled for the job. They can create undue risks for the crew.
Extreme heat and cold are also problematic. Super-high temperatures can soften asphalt shingles and increase the odds of damaging them. Super-low temperatures can make shingles brittle and stop self-sealing products from adhering properly.
Rain During Your Replacement Project
But the most common year-round issue is rain. Attempts to replace a roof in rainy conditions can lead to a range of issues, including:
- Damage to your home’s interior if the roof deck is exposed
- A saturated deck that’s more prone to rot and warping
- Improper or inaccurate placement of asphalt shingles
Wet conditions also create a serious safety hazard for the crew up on your roof.
Conditions For Kelly’s Austin-Area Installation
Before replacement day arrives, the team at Willi Roofing always checks the upcoming weather forecast. If rain or any other issue is on the horizon, we’ll reach out to the homeowner and reschedule for the nearest available date.
But sometimes, the decision of whether or not to proceed is a bit trickier. That’s true because weather conditions in the Hill Country region can be difficult to predict.
If things look good, we’ll proceed. But we’re always ready to respond if the situation changes.
Tom, the crew and materials showed up promptly on the morning the work was scheduled. However, there was a little bit of rain that was moving through, which I felt would clear up quickly. They made the call to hold off to be on the safe side and were back at it the next morning.
Rain On The Morning Of Kelly’s Roof Installation
What happened on the morning scheduled for Kelly’s roofing project? You guessed it. Unexpected rain showers.
The showers weren’t heavy, and it looked like they wouldn’t last for long. But as roofing experts, we knew.
Conditions were just too iffy for us to continue.
Kelly wasn’t sure why this was necessary. From her perspective, there was just a bit of rain that would soon be over. It was our responsibility to provide her with a fuller picture of why we had to stop for the day.
Kelly understood. Fortunately, the forecast for the next day was all clear. So, with her consent, we secured the site and scheduled our return visit.
Everything ran smoothly, and cleanup was top-notch, which is huge for a roofing company!
A Day’s Delay For Roofing Project Success
How did things go the following day? As smooth as silk.
That’s not surprising. Willi Roofing’s crews are staffed with recognized experts who know their job inside and out. On every project, they emphasize excellence from beginning to end.
Kelly saw the results firsthand. And she felt so great about them that she summed the experience up with one clear statement:
I highly recommend Willi Roofing. Kelly M.
