Can You Install a New Roof During the Rain?

One of a consumer’s prime concerns, and probably a roofer’s too, is the occurrence of rain, during a re-roof job. Is this a disaster? Is it inevitable that damage, either major damage or minor damage, must occur? 

The answer is maybe, depending upon who is performing the work. 

Generally speaking, an unlicensed party such as a handyman, or even a licensed party from another trade, (plumber, fireman, etc.) may not know how to react to this type of incident. Picture your home wide open, during a rainstorm. No good can come from this!  Beyond that, a lot of the various trades won’t understand how crucial it is that the weather be closely monitored before the job commences.  

So, the roof is half removed and the rain hits. What then? 

Believe it or not, the inexperienced, unlicensed type of tradesman oftentimes will throw their hands up, claim that the rain is insurmountable, out of his control, and say something like “Well, we’ll just have to retry when the weather clears.” In the meantime, any number of damages can occur, such as damaged ceilings, soaked carpets, electrical issues, and on and on.Then, on top of everything else, you will find that there is no insurance to cover things.
