Learn how residential roofing solutions from Shepherd Roofing & Renovations can protect your property and add long-term value.
Replacing your roof is one of the biggest home investments you’ll make—but timing matters just as much as materials. If you live in Dallas–Fort Worth, Waxahachie, or anywhere across East Texas, understanding the seasons can help you make smarter, more cost-effective roofing decisions.
At Shepherd Roofing & Renovations, we often get asked, “When is the best time of year to replace my roof?” The short answer: it depends on your needs—but there are definite pros and cons to each season.
This guide will walk you through what to expect each time of year and why scheduling at the right time could save you stress, time, and money.
Spring: A Popular Time for Roof Replacements in Texas
✅ Why It Works:
- Mild temperatures are ideal for shingle adhesion and installation
- Roofing crews are ramping up for the busy season
- Great time to address winter storm damage before spring rains set in
⚠️ What to Watch For:
- Sudden spring thunderstorms can cause scheduling delays
- High demand = early booking is critical
Spring is especially ideal if you noticed signs of wear during the winter—like missing shingles, roof leaks, or loose flashing. Getting ahead of storm season gives your home better protection for the rest of the year.
Summer: Peak Season for Roofing—With a Few Drawbacks
✅ Why It Works:
- Roofing materials seal quickly in the heat
- Longer daylight hours = faster project turnaround
- Easier to spot ventilation and insulation issues during hot months
⚠️ What to Watch For:
- North Texas heat can make attic work dangerous in July–August
- Roofing schedules may be booked months in advance
- Pricing may be higher due to seasonal demand
Summer is still one of the most common times for residential roof replacements in DFW, especially when dealing with hail damage from spring storms.
Fall: The Sweet Spot for Replacing Your Roof
✅ Why It Works:
- Cooler weather = ideal working conditions for crews
- Perfect temperatures for shingle sealing and curing
- Less rain than spring = fewer weather delays
- Beat the holiday rush and winter storms
For homeowners in Waxahachie, Midlothian, and McKinney, fall is hands-down one of the best times to schedule a roof replacement. Your roof will be ready to withstand winter cold and strong enough to handle spring hail.
Winter: Can You Replace Your Roof in Cold Weather?
✅ Why It Works:
- Roofing companies often have more availability
- Off-season pricing may be more competitive
- Urgent repairs can’t always wait
⚠️ What to Watch For:
- Cold temps (below 40°F) can affect shingle flexibility and adhesion
- Storms and ice may delay installation
Emergency roof replacements do happen in winter—especially if you’re hit by wind or hail damage late in the year. While it’s not the first choice, we’ve successfully replaced roofs in DFW and East Texas winters, thanks to our experienced crews and weather monitoring.

Pro Tip: Book Early, No Matter the Season
Texas roofing crews are often booked months in advance during peak times (spring and summer). That’s why we recommend booking your inspection or estimate early—even if you plan to replace your roof a few months later.
This gives you time to:
- Choose the right roofing system (shingles, metal, tile)
- Secure materials before prices rise
- Address any needed repairs before the next storm season
