Typical Causes Behind Roofing Delays

It won’t always be a smooth process to replace your roof and gutters. Just like any other home improvement project, delays can happen due to several unexpected factors, some of which are beyond your control. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s unnecessary to implement precautions when anticipating delays, though you still need to understand what you can be up against so you’ll know how to deal with them when the time comes. 

What Usually Causes Roof Delays?

It’s not uncommon to find hidden damage while workers tear off the old roofing material. However, work has to stop to ensure proper repairs have been made. Inclement weather can also delay the roofing process since rain and moisture can affect your new roof’s performance. The workers will immediately suspend roof work if they feel just a light rain shower because they need the deck dry during installation. If you get the roof done despite the wet conditions, the roofing materials won’t be installed correctly because water and moisture can get trapped between the layers. Your roof will suffer from mold growth and rot damage and you’ll end up with costly roof repairs.

Sometimes, you get multiple roofing delays that can be difficult to handle. They can happen almost concurrently when two or more parties involved in your residential roofing project impede contract performance and cause unexpected delays. In this case, you’ll need to determine the root cause of the delays as these can add up to your overall roofing costs.
