What weather does to a Concord roof
- Freeze-thaw days. Water gets under shingles at night and expands as ice.
- Days at 90F or hotter. Heat bakes the oils out of asphalt and loosens sealant strips.
- Days with an inch of rain. Heavy rain tests flashing, valleys and gutters.
- Yearly precipitation. More water means more years of wet decking.

The median Concord home dates from 1997. An original roof there is 29 years old, inside the 25–30 years window of architectural shingles, so repair and replacement are both live options. 28.8% of Concord homes predate 1980, so some roofs on the street are second or third generation.
| Job | Cost | Weeks of pay |

| Half of a new roof (50% rule) in Concord | $5,100 | 3.1 |
| One year of roof life in Concord | $373 | 0.23 |
The last row prices one year of roof life in Concord: a typical architectural roof divided by its rated 25–30 years. A repair is worth paying for when it buys at least as many years as its cost divided by that figure. The 50% rule is a common rule of thumb, not a law.
