The Challenges of Fall Construction 

Fall in Northern Indiana brings crisp air, colorful leaves, and plenty of seasonal changes. But for construction crews, autumn is also one of the trickiest times of year to keep projects on track. At D&J Roofing and Construction, we know firsthand that working through this season requires careful planning, flexibility, and expertise.

1. Unpredictable Weather

Fall weather in Northern Indiana can change quickly—sunny and mild one day, rainy and windy the next. Sudden storms and fluctuating temperatures can delay roofing, siding, and exterior work. Our crews monitor the forecast closely to make sure every project is completed safely and to the highest standards.

2. Shorter Days

As the days get shorter, there are fewer daylight hours to work. This means projects must be carefully scheduled and crews must maximize efficiency during the limited workday.

3. Falling Leaves and Debris

Autumn leaves may look beautiful, but they create extra challenges on job sites. They can clog gutters, scatter across roofs, and make surfaces slippery. Our team takes extra precautions to keep work areas clear and safe.

4. Temperature Drops

As nighttime temperatures dip, certain construction materials—like adhesives, sealants, and roofing products—require special handling. Knowing when and how to use these materials in cooler weather is key to long-lasting results.

Why Construction Still Works in the Fall

Despite the challenges, fall is still a great time to complete roofing and exterior projects before the harsh winter arrives. Tackling issues now can prevent leaks, energy loss, and damage during the snow and ice season ahead.
