Rain After New Roof

In the midst of your roof installation joe hall roofing can weatherproof your roof.

Rain after new roof.

One of the roofing pros we spoke with says mist won t affect osb any more than the humidity that osb absorbs on a hot day. It is not the fault of your contractor and while the delays can certainly be frustrating a contractor who attempts to install a new roof in the rain is going to be compromising the overall integrity of the installation. It is more important on remodeling as the interior may get damaged but on new construction the whole home will be drying out. Use the right deck protection properly installed by a reputable roofing contractor who is certified in ventilation practices you will have a long lasting properly installed roof.

The exception would be a flat roofed structure. While the completed shingles may not be in place during an unpredicted rainstorm there should be a protective layer on your roof that keeps rain from getting in. Safety is always a primary consideration for roofers and roofing in the rain requires caution. It would have been great if they had the decking covered before it rained.

Nature has a mind of its own. But rain on the decking then roofing done as long as the roof is leak free now you should be fine. A roof repair or even replacement can be done when it is raining. If it starts to rain a good crew will have tarps handy to protect your home just in case.

You might be surprised to find that the answer is yes. Should your roof installation have to be delayed due to poor weather be patient. That doesn t mean that an unexpected rain or drizzle as you indicated won t occur during the roof replacement.
