Would you recommend having a new roof installed in cold weather?

Question

We are having a new roof installed on a newly purchased home, however winter has come early in our part of the country. What weather limitations do you recommend?

Answer 1

If you are putting down asphalt shingles you run the risk of not having them seal down right if it's cold. Wood shingles or metal roofing would not be affected.

Answer 2

I've always preferred warm weather so that the shingles seal well but we know that contractors build houses all year long. If the roof isn't leaking,,I'd wait until spring. :-)=
