Now is the time to fix your roof

By Corey Construction. 

Summer gives you the upper hand on costs, scheduling and storm protection. 

No one wants to think about their roof until it’s leaking, but by then, it’s too late. Across the South, commercial roofs are getting hit with heat, storms and supply chain delays all at once. The smartest property managers are beating the rush, locking in lower prices and scheduling critical work with Corey Construction, before hurricane season ramps up or inflation hits again. If you’re managing a commercial property, the summer is your window to take control. 

Why act on your commercial roofing project in the summer? 

1 – Avoid the scheduling backlog 

Spring and summer are the busiest times for commercial roofing and for good reason. But demand often means longer wait times. There’s typically a 4–6 week lead time between signing a contract and beginning work. Larger or more complex commercial roof systems can take even longer. 

By scheduling early, you avoid the seasonal crunch and give yourself more flexibility. Whether you need a repair, restoration or complete replacement, starting early ensures we work on your timeline — not the other way around. 

2 – Lock in lower roof prices before costs go up 

Roofing prices are affected by inflation, labor shortages, material delays and even potential tariff hikes. Costs can spike unexpectedly — waiting could mean paying significantly more for the same job later. 

At Corey Construction, we help you plan wisely. Get your project on the books ahead of time to lock in the best rates and avoid paying more down the line. We’ll work with your budget and find cost-effective solutions that fit your goals. 

3 – Take advantage of ideal roofing weather 

Summer provides optimal conditions for commercial roofing installations especially in cities where milder spring months give way to predictable dry weather. 

Calm, dry conditions allow for faster, higher-quality workmanship. Products like roof coatings, adhesives and spray foam require specific temperature and humidity ranges to cure properly. Planning your project during this seasonal window means less risk and better results. 

4 – Get ahead of storm and hurricane season 

Hurricane season begins in late summer and can bring severe storms, high winds and costly water damage — especially in southern regions. We’ve seen firsthand how fast things can go wrong. 

Be proactive and protect your facility before the next big storm. Corey Construction offers free roof assessments to identify vulnerabilities before they become emergencies. And yes — we provide 24/7 emergency commercial roof repairs if needed. But prevention is always the better investment. 

5 – Proactive roof maintenance = long-term savings 

Over 25% of commercial roofing expenses are spent on unplanned, emergency repairs. By addressing issues early and scheduling bi-annual inspections, you can: 

• Extend your roof’s lifespan 
• Improve energy efficiency 
• Reduce long-term repair costs 
• Minimize operational disruptions 

If your roof is 10+ years old, showing signs of wear or hasn’t been inspected in the last 12 months, it’s time to act.
