Hmmm,
My next door neighbor had reroofing job done in the snow with temp. of
10 deg. or so below freezing. Wondering if that was a good idea? I
noticed work crew was Mexican family including woman.

One spring back during the housing bubble my next door neighbor hired
a girlfriend's husband's roofing company to put on a new roof. The
couple split shortly afterward, and ex-hubby apparently was in no
hurry to take care of one of his ex-wive's friends. He stalled her
right into the end of December, when, in a typical Minnesota winter, I
got to watch a couple guys lift a snowblower onto the roof and blow
off all the snow so they could do the tear-off. A week later and they
were back, shoveling the snow off the temporary tarp covering, and
finally putting down the new shingles. They didn't get back to do the
flashing till spring.

My neighbor is a very kind and generous woman, so she felt sorry for
this guy and let him take advantage of her this way. OTOH, it's been
nearly a decade and the roof's still sound, so...shrug
