Best Time of Year to Replace Your Roof?

Why Does Weather Matter?

Your home is most likely your most expensive asset, and your roof is your greatest protection against the New England weather. Our Massachusetts seasons see significant swings in the elements, from snow and ice, to scorching heat and everything in-between. It’s therefore no surprise that our homes require regular maintenance, and having optimal weather conditions during the project, will help ensure the process is peaceful and trouble-free.

When's The Best Month?

At Bruin, we've replaced roofs in all seasons, even during the snowy months. While it can be done, it's not ideal! So when's the best time to replace your roof? Well, the right answer is, as soon as you notice any roof deterioration. But, if you're being proactive and looking to replace your roof before things start to go wrong, then we'd recommend the Spring and Fall seasons.


Older shingle designs have a lifespan of 20-25 years. So, if your house was built before 2002, and it hasn't had a roof replacement, now's the time to start thinking about it.

Interesting Roof Facts
