What this means for your roof
- Hail is less frequent here than in most covered cities (13 days with hail of 1 inch or larger), so age usually matters more than storm count. A hail day still justifies an inspection.
- Material ranges in the calculator are general planning figures. Your shingle manufacturer’s warranty and an in-person inspection decide when a roof needs replacing.
