Default How busy do you want your roofer to be?

i know for a fact cold weather is a bad time to install roofs.

and black is a poor color choice in most places.


All true.


No.

Spring and fall are better times to put up shingles vs summer (from the
pov of the comfort and exertion of the installers). You don't want to
handle and walk on shingles in the heat of summer.

The shingles will stick just fine once they get hot (and they will
eventually get hot once summer rolls around) and they will "smooth" out
over time (not that I buy the idea that they can somehow be laid
anything but flat and smooth regardless the temperature).

I agree that black is the worst color to have for shingles (because of
heat) followed by the very lightest colors (because of staining).
