As we move toward the second half of the year, the next busy season for roofing is fast approaching, and persistent supply chain issues continue to create protracted timelines for flat and low slope commercial roofing projects.
Here’s why the window to plan for commercial roof repairs is closing and why you should schedule your inspection now.
The Fall Roofing Season Comes Sooner Than You Think!
As with roofing in general, the commercial roofing industry typically has two busy seasons during the calendar year: spring, as cold weather gives way to milder temperatures, and again in fall, as the heat of summer begins to cool off. Changes in the weather can mean changes to your roof, so you need to be proactive.
Mild temperatures create popular times of year for roofing as the window for outdoor work is much wider. Extreme heat and cold leave roofers with a limited time to work on a roof. Additionally, both the heat of summer and the cold of winter can impede the performance of certain roofing products, particularly adhesives which must set within a certain temperature range.
Fall is an especially popular time for commercial roof repairs, as it’s the last chance for business owners to make sure their roof is ready to withstand the coming winter weather. While scheduling in summer will typically leave enough time to make sure commercial roof repairs are completed by the time winter arrives, extenuating circumstances are prolonging roofing projects and leaving less availability for your commercial roof repair.
Supply Chain Issues Continue to Impact the Roofing Industry
The main reason why roofing projects are delayed in the current environment is the persistence of supply chain issues that have impacted the roofing industry for the past few years. Manufacturers have been scrambling to keep up with demand, and many types of roofing projects, particularly within the commercial industry, are experiencing protracted timelines.
Certain types of roofing materials and supplies have been impacted more than others. For instance, depending on the manufacturer, roofing membranes may not be available for six months or more. In addition, insulation may be backordered for a year or longer. To avoid delays in the start of your roofing project, it’s best to plan as far ahead as possible and consult with a trusted commercial roofing partner for accurate advice on your roofing needs.
