What weather does to a Odessa 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 Permian Basin oil economy creates boom-and-bust dynamics in Odessa's construction labor market, with roofer availability and pricing fluctuating significantly based on drilling activity. During oil busts, excess roofing labor capacity tends to lower prices; during booms, competition for workers from the oilfield industry pushes wages — and roofing prices — higher.
