"Hi Bill
You should have no problem re-roofing in winter. The roofing industry is year-round and I’m not aware of any companies that have time off.

"There’s no reason you can’t have a new roof installed in the winter. The rainy days can be frustrating and may take time off during these periods. But I work all through winter every year. Hope this helps."

Answered on 25th Jan 2022 - Member since Jan 2022 - report"A roof can be changed any time of the year, if the job would need time to complete then maybe a scaffold and the building made watertight, but any good company should complete work whenever needed."
Answered on 22nd Jan 2022 - Member since Jan 2022 - report"Yes. You can, by fitting scaffolding around your house and sheet on the top of the roof so we can protect the new roof from Rain"
