If you’re thinking about replacing your roof, timing matters more than you might think.

At Fox Roofing Company, we’ve replaced hundreds of roofs across Irvine and Orange County, and one question we hear all the time is:
“When is the best time to get it done?”

Here’s our expert take on the best season to replace your roof in Southern California—plus when to avoid unnecessary delays or added costs.

🌤️ Spring: The Sweet Spot

March–May is one of the best times of year for roof replacements in SoCal.

Why spring is ideal:

Moderate temperatures = safer, faster installations
Less rain compared to winter
Preps your home for the heat of summer
Easier scheduling before peak season rush

If you want to beat the summer crowds and ensure your roof is ready before the heat hits, spring is the way to go.

☀️ Summer: High Demand, Higher Temperatures

June–August is still a great time to get roof work done, especially for dry weather—but there are a few things to consider:

Crews work early mornings to avoid peak heat
Material handling is more intense in high temps
Booking availability may be limited due to high demand

That said, we schedule carefully to avoid delays and always keep your property clean, safe, and on track—even during peak season.

🍂 Fall: A Strong Second Choice

September–November is also a solid time to schedule roof replacements.

Why fall works:

Weather is still mild
Post-summer storms may reveal damage
Ideal for tile and shingle adhesion

If your roof struggled through summer or you’re prepping for winter rains, fall is a smart move.

🌧️ Winter: More Risk, But Not Off the Table

December–February can be trickier due to rain and cold—but we still complete projects in winter, especially in urgent cases.

You may benefit from:

Faster scheduling
Off-season pricing
Quick turnaround for emergency replacements

Just know that rain delays are more likely, and material cure times may take longer.
