Do Professional Roofers Still Work in the Rain or Snow?

July 2, 2025

Understanding Roofing Work in Inclement Weather

Roofing in adverse weather isn't just a matter of comfort—it's about safety, quality, and long-term performance. Homeowners often wonder if professional roofing crews brave the elements to stay on schedule. At Manny Roofing, we balance urgency with care to deliver reliable results.

Why Weather Matters for Roofing Jobs

Rain, snow, and extreme cold can create dangerous working conditions and impact the integrity of roofing materials. Wet surfaces become slippery, increasing the risk of accidents. Moisture can also compromise shingle adhesion and underlayment installation, leading to long-term issues.

Safety First: Our Approach During Rain or Snow

The safety of our in-house crews is paramount. If the weather poses a risk—such as icy surfaces, active lightning, or heavy snowfall—work may be paused. We continually assess conditions and make decisions that prioritize crew safety and the quality of your roof.

What Can Be Done in Bad Weather?

While full roof replacements may be postponed, our team can still perform certain tasks, such as:

  • Emergency tarping and patching to prevent water intrusion
  • On-site evaluations and damage assessments
  • Indoor preparations like cutting and staging materials

If weather delays a project, we communicate promptly with homeowners and adjust timelines as needed.

Trust the Process, Trust the Warranty

At Manny Roofing, we never cut corners to rush a job. Our 25-year workmanship warranty reflects our commitment to doing the job right the first time. We only install roofs when the weather allows for proper sealing, ventilation, and shingle application—ensuring durability and customer satisfaction.
