We just had the house re-roofed a couple of weeks ago. The roofer wanted 45 and rising or they wouldn't do it. We caught two good days in a row. A little over half a day to put them on then that day and the next with some warmth. The third day we had a big front come through with gusts up to 40 mph and didn't lose anything off the roof.
