Yes! Roofers Can Roof in the Rain but not Tear Off Roofers can perform any work when it is raining except "Tear off" work. "Tear off" work exposes the unprotected wood of the roof to the rain. As long as the weather proof underlayment is applied to the roof and protecting the plywood layer of the roof from the rain, other roofing work can be performed. When a roofing company has its own roofer install crews (not sub-contractors) they have more time to complete the roofing project correctly. We work on roofs in sections during the rainy months, making sure that every section of the roof is covered and protected from the rain. Learn more about roofing in the rain
