Regional knowledge
How roofs fail across the country
The same shingle faces very different weather in Denver, Miami, Buffalo and Phoenix.
Hail on the Plains
From Texas to Minnesota and the Front Range, hail bruises shingles without obvious leaks. Many owners choose Class 4 shingles at replacement.
Learn moreHurricanes on the coasts
From Texas to New England, hurricane wind strips roof edges first. Sealed decks and FORTIFIED construction keep water out.
Learn moreIce dams up north
Attic heat melts snow that refreezes at the eaves and backs water under shingles. Air sealing and an eave ice barrier stop it.
Learn moreWildfire and heat out West
Embers, not flames, ignite most homes, and desert sun wears out underlayment beneath tile. Class A roofs and ember-resistant vents help.

What a replacement can look like
Drag the slider to compare. These are stock examples, not jobs by contractors in our network.
Worn, broken shingles replaced with a new shingle roof
Brittle, curling shingles lose their seal and break in the next storm. A full tear-off exposes the decking for repair, and new shingles go down with fresh underlayment and flashing.
