Not necessarily. I can have most bigger roofs that aren't too steep done in three days or less. I can usually find long enough breaks in the weather up here in the Northwest to get work done during the winter. We probably do 40% or less in the volume of work done in DEC verses AUG. You might have one of those roofs that can be done in sections. Is it better? I would say in a scale of 1 to 100 with it best to wait till warmer weather it'd be something like 95 to have it installed now verses 100 to wait. If you had a leak I would say that it would be a 100 to have your roof installed and an 80 or less to wait. Once through it's first summer, concerning the end result and longevity of your roof it won't matter a bit. It is a matter of trust in your contractor to negotiate the weather in such a way that your house is never threatened by the elements.

Hopes this helps,
