What Midwest Weather Really Does to Your Roof

Van De Hey Refined Roofing has been replacing and installing roofing projects in the midwest for over 30 years. The midwest weather can be challenging but having an expert in the field installing and repairing your roof can make all the difference. The weather varies dramatically here and that means your roof can suffer from the sudden changes. Here is what midwest weather does to your roof!

Winter – Winter is its own category in the midwest. In the winter months, your roof can take an absolute beating. Snow can be heavy and it leaves some stress on your roof. Not to mention the constant temperature shifts. This can mean your snow can melt a bit, turn to ice, and get stuck in some pretty important spots. It’s super important to watch out for ice dams in the middle of the winter months. You need to make sure your roof is properly draining in order to make sure your roof does not take any unnecessary damage.

Storm months – Many of the other months in the midwest can be considered storm months. These months have lots of rain and warm weather. Wind can get very heavy during these months and can cause shingles to tear off your roof or become loose. The heat in the midwest can cause your shingles to become brittle and crack. And don’t forget the rain! Especially in the fall months when the leaves are falling your gutters can get clogged really easily. This makes it so that rain can puddle up on the roof and cause substantial damage!

Each month in the midwest has its own dangers and concerns. It’s important to have your roof regularly inspected so it can handle these large season changes. Call VR roofing today to have your roof inspected before the summer months!
