Roofs are built to last, and depending on the material used, their longevity can vary from 20 to 100 years. However, no matter how well-built or durable your roofing materials are, there will come a time when they need replacement. There are several causes for this, such as natural roof aging and severe weather conditions. And during roof replacement, delays could happen as well.
To help you learn more about the common causes of roof replacement delays, residential roofing contractor Dior Construction shares useful information in this article.
Roofing contractors handle the skill and labor involved with roof replacement, but they need to order the materials they need from a manufacturer or supplier. While minor repairs don’t usually cause major delays, a roof replacement will need several materials, which take time to source. From getting all the materials to having them delivered to your home, a certain amount of time is needed to prepare all the materials required for the project. The timeframe also extends if you’re going to use specialty materials for your roof.
Residential roofing services require certain paperwork to proceed, especially permits. Some contractors offer to do the legwork involved in securing the documents needed to work on your roof, but most of the time the responsibility falls to the homeowner or business owner. Depending on your local government, this can take between a few weeks to a few months. So before starting any roofing projects, it’s important to get the necessary paperwork done beforehand to avoid any delays.
Weather is another important thing to consider. When it’s raining or stormy outside, it will be difficult not only for the contractors to do their jobs but also for the materials to be installed properly. For example, shingles have adhesives that allow them to stick to the roof’s surface. However, when they’re wet, it affects their ability to properly adhere and cure. For the safety of the workers and the success of your project, it’s crucial to check local weather forecasts before installation day.
