Safety and a watertight home come first. We only remove what we can dry-in the same day, and we don’t start a tear-off if the forecast shows a meaningful risk window. Our office and crew leads monitor live radar and hourly forecasts throughout the day; if weather shifts, we adjust the plan immediately.
How we stay dry and safe
- As soon as decking is exposed, we install self-adhered ice & water barrier at eaves/valleys/penetrations and then synthetic underlayment—no open wood left to the elements.
- We stage tarps, catch-alls, and sandbags on site before demo so coverage is instant if a pop-up shower appears. Open areas get double protection (underlayment + tarp) if clouds build.
- We set wind, lightning, and daylight cutoffs. If sustained winds or lightning enter the area—or we can’t finish a section with proper flashing/light—work pauses and everything is secured and tarped.
- In cold or hot extremes, we follow manufacturer installation temperatures for adhesives/sealants and switch to cold-weather nails/caulk or high-temp practices as required.
If a storm pops up
- Crew secures tools/materials, covers all exposed areas, and checks vulnerable spots (chimneys, skylights, wall junctions) first.
- We perform downspout/gutter checks to keep water moving away from the house.
- If any water intrusion is suspected, we notify you immediately, stop the source, and handle basic mitigation (wet-vac, plastic, dehumidifiers). We document and remedy anything within our scope at no added cost.
Scheduling & communication
- You’ll get a morning go/no-go update on questionable weather days and real-time texts/calls if we need to pause or reschedule.
- If a delay pushes work into another day, the roof is left fully dried-in and secured overnight, with perimeter cleanup before we leave.
What we won’t do
- We won’t leave exposed decking, partially flashed valleys, or loose materials on the roof with weather approaching.
- We won’t compromise manufacturer specs just to “push through” a storm window.
Bottom line: we plan for weather before we start, monitor continuously, and keep your home watertight—pausing or rescheduling when conditions don’t meet our safety and quality standards.
