Hail on the north side
The 2016 storm showed how much damage hail can do to San Antonio's north and northwest neighborhoods. Hail damage inspections after spring storms are worth the time.
Heat and UV
Long, hot summers dry out shingles and sealants. Balanced attic ventilation and lighter shingle colors where HOAs allow help roofs last between storms.
