What this means for your roof
- Hail is a bigger factor here than in most covered cities (50 days with hail of 1 inch or larger). Have a roofer inspect after every large hail day, even if the roof is young, and photograph the roof before and after storm season.
- Freeze-thaw cycles are high here. Water that gets under flashing or shingle edges freezes and widens gaps, so ask the inspector to check flashing, valleys and eaves.
- 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.
