Is it ok to replace a roof in cold weather, the temp is about 30-40%
this would be a take off because there is 2 layers of shingles.Thanks


That is about minimum IMO. What does the manufacturer spec call for? I
think most have a minimum of about 40. If it can be knocked out in a day
or two of warmer sunny weather, you'd be OK, but it it is staying cold
where you are, best to wait for spring.


What he said. I'd only do it in weather that cold if I HAD to, and only
if it was sunny clear weather. If it is leaking in one area, I'd be
inclined to sacrifice a couple cheap Harbor Freight tarps, and just tarp
that part of the roof till spring. Yes, it is definitely hillbilly, but
it works.
