Is it too hot to work on a roof?
This time of year as temperatures soar it may not seem like the right time to get up on a hot roof. But damage, age or wear and tear can make it necessary to have your roof repaired or replaced. So is there a situation where hot weather can prevent your roof work from being done? A roof on a hot summer day can surpass temperatures of 170 degrees!
There are many factors to consider when roofing in hot weather. The ideal temperature to install a roof is between 40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat can affect the health of the roofers and make it harder to install your roof because of the quick drying adhesive or changing shape of the materials.
If roofing work does need to be done in conditions above 80 degrees, precautions can be taken such as:
– Staying hydrated
– Taking breaks
– Wear cool clothes and sunscreen
– Starting the work day early
Roof work doesn’t always come at the ideal time. Thankfully the experienced professionals at Phoenix Roofing understand how to do the job efficiently and safely. Contact Phoenix Roofing today to schedule an inspection or roof work before the peak of summer hits.
