Who thinks about roof repairs in the middle of Summer? Well, probably not too many people. The sun is out, the water’s good and our beautiful West Australian life is throwing everything at you. The last thing on your mind is your roofing.
But there are some benefits to sorting your roofing in summer rather than leaving it until the colder seasons or waiting for disaster to strike:
- Getting a headstart
- Not worrying about winter issues
Roof repairs are in demand more in the Winter so you might have to wait longer to have a job done, so getting ahead of the busy winter season can ensure your roof is ready for the cold and there are practical benefits of summer roofing repairs. Now is the time to have that conversation with the professionals at NexGen Tradies.
Beat the Winter Rush
Winter is the busiest time for roof repairs as the colder weather affects roofing in a variety of ways. As the wooden frames expand in the Summer, they can contract in the winter and over time this can cause damage to your roofing.
Damage is more likely to happen in the winter because of contractions and the unpredictable Winter weather causes additional damage. Leaving a roof unchecked can have disastrous consequences such as dangerous leaks, lowered structural integrity and roof collapse.
Now is an excellent time to have a qualified tradesperson check your roofing so proactive repairs can be carried out before the worst happens. Our local Perth specialised tradies can carry out guaranteed quality work such as replacing weather-damaged tiles, checking rafter tails for dry rot and repairing split rafters caused by impact or excessive weight on the roof. Talk to the professionals at NexGen Tradies for a preventative head start on winter.
Put Your Mind at Ease
Making sure your roofing is in its optimal state can take a great weight off your mind. By staying ahead of the game and booking a Summer repair job you can future-proof your roofing so that it can handle almost anything the upcoming Winter can throw at it.
Because our engineers are not as busy during the summer and the weather is more agreeable it means that there will be less disruption with your job, resulting in a quick and efficient repair. Winter weather can be unpredictable and dangerous for roofing engineers to get up there and begin repairs which can cause delays in your project.
The warmer months reduces moisture levels in the materials required for a roof repair. This makes repairs easier as any existing conditions such as cracks are less likely to worsen while a repair is in progress and the chance of adverse weather such as rainstorms are far less likely to occur, making it safer for our professional tradesmen.
One of the main reasons for having a roof repaired before winter though is the thermal protection that an efficient roof offers. Having your roof at its peak condition before winter comes in ensures that you are prepared for the sudden temperature changes by keeping warm air inside your home to keep it cosy and lowering your utility bills.
