What weather does to a Conway 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 2020 census counted 64,134 residents in Conway, Arkansas's eighth-most populous city, with a 2025 projection of 72,328. Three anchor institutions collectively employ roughly 4,900 workers: Conway Regional Health System (1,650), the University of Central Arkansas (1,600), and data company Acxiom (1,450).
