Just so your post doesn't confuse anyone, the timing of your sodding has nothing to do with the crabgrass problem you are experiencing. In thin areas of turf, crabgrass is an annual established from seed (no rhizomes or stolons) and germinates mid May to mid June and dies after a frost in late Sept or Oct. Are you sure it is crabgrass?
As for the OP question; anytime is alright to lay sod providedthe ground is not frozen and there is sufficient irrigation .
On another note, for those wanting to seed or over-seed, fall is the ideal time
