  • 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.

Repair or replace in Spokane

Spokane homes sit 65 years from the median build year of 1961. An original roof that old is past the 25–30 years architectural shingles are rated for, so in Spokane a repair mostly buys time. 68.6% of Spokane homes predate 1980, so some roofs on the street are second or third generation.

Repair costs in Spokane, as dollars and as weeks of local pay

Small repair in Spokane $700 0.55
Larger repair in Spokane $3,150 2.5
Half of a new roof (50% rule) in Spokane $5,900 4.7
