I think you are fine to have your roof done at any time of year. I have yet to have a roof blow off. Make sure you get a workmanship warranty. He's telling you the truth that roofs don't seal down until its warm but that doesn't mean your roof will blow off. I had concerned myself with it a lot a long time ago but after working all year round for over 17yrs and never having a roof blow off I don't worry about it much any more. If you where the one in a million that something like that might happen to you'd have no problem with a reputable contractor getting right over there and repairing your roof right away. I know there are places in this world that are more prone to sustained high winds then others and if your home sits in one of these areas it might effect you. The only composition product I have ever seen blow off in the Northwest is three-tab and I figure that is because the actual product is so light. If someone reads this and has ever seen a laminate blow off I would like to hear about it. Where it was, if it was a new roof that hadn't sealed down, and if it was in a sustained high wind area. I have never heard of it happening from anyone before. Being a contractor, logically it makes sense to me to have such concerns but like I said I have yet to have a roof lose any material in a wind storm. I also must disclose here that probably only 3% of my composition installations have been three-tab, which is the only product I have seen blown off a roof.
