Spring (March–May): Peak Demand, Higher Prices

Spring is Denver's busiest roofing season. Hail season begins in April and after the first major storm, contractors are booked weeks out. Spring pricing is typically 5–15% higher than fall. Temperatures are ideal for shingle installation (40–85°F).

Summer (June–August): Hot, Busy, and Hail-Prone

Still peak season. July and August bring the highest hail risk. High temperatures (90°F+) can affect shingle handling. Reputable contractors work early mornings. Not ideal for planned replacements.

Fall (September–November): The Sweet Spot

Best time for planned replacements. Hail season winds down after September. Contractor demand drops, often leading to better pricing. Temperatures are ideal. October and early November are particularly good.

Winter (December–February): Possible but Challenging

Shingles become brittle below 40°F. Snow and ice create safety hazards. Emergency repairs are done year-round. Full replacements in winter are less common and may require cold-weather adhesives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you replace a roof in winter in Denver?

Yes, but not ideal. Below 40°F makes shingles brittle and harder to seal properly.

How far in advance should I book a Denver roofer?

For fall replacements, book in August or September. After major hail, top contractors book 4–8 weeks out.

Does Denver weather affect material choices?

Yes. Denver's hail risk and UV intensity make Class 4 impact-resistant shingles the most practical choice.
