How PRC’s Warm Trailer Is Revolutionizing Winter Roofing
Winter roofing in New Hampshire is not the same as spring or summer roofing. Cold temperatures, snow, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles can take a serious toll on your roof, and installing shingles in the wrong conditions can lead to cracks, leaks, and long-term damage.
At Professional Roofing Co., we’ve invested in a solution that ensures every roof we install in the winter meets our high standards: our Winter Warm Trailer. Here’s why it matters, how it works, and why it benefits homeowners in Dover and across the Seacoast NH area.
The Problem with Cold Shingles
Some contractors will install shingles in freezing temperatures without any precautions. The result?
Brittle shingles that can crack
Improper sealing of the adhesive strip increases the risk of leaks
Potential damage before the roof even protects your home
Homeowners often don’t realize the risks until spring, when small cracks or failed seals allow water infiltration, sometimes leading to costly interior damage.
How the Warm Trailer Works
PRC’s Warm Trailer is a specially designed, fully insulated trailer that keeps shingles at a steady 60°F from warehouse to job site to roof.
Key points:
Shingles are picked up at room temperature and delivered ready to install
Stored on-site in the Warm Trailer until installation*
Ensures shingles remain flexible, dry, and easy to handle, even in freezing temperatures
By keeping shingles at the right temperature, we protect your roof from the problems caused by cold, brittle shingles.
Why Warm Shingles Matter
Installing warm shingles isn’t just a “nice touch”; it’s critical for a high-quality winter roof installation.
Benefits include:
Reduced cracking and breakage during installation
Proper adhesive sealing, ensuring shingles stay in place and are waterproof
Long-lasting roof performance, giving homeowners peace of mind through the winter and spring
With the Warm Trailer, homeowners can trust that their winter roof will perform just as well as a roof installed in warmer weather.
The PRC Difference
Winter roofing requires more than just experience; it requires preparation, equipment, and attention to detail. Not every roofing company in the Seacoast area takes the extra steps we do.
Choosing PRC in winter means:
No waiting until warmer weather, we can address roof issues immediately
Higher quality installation thanks to warm shingles
Protection against leaks and damage caused by improper winter roofing
Your roof doesn’t care what season it is, but your home and your peace of mind do.
