Auburn Hills Through the Roofing Year

Summer splits in two: the storm tail of June and early July, when late cells still drop hail on the county, and the long bake that follows, when roof surfaces on a July afternoon run far hotter than the air and shingles soften, coatings cure and age, and attic heat builds under every dark slope. Most hail damage is discovered in summer - the storm did the work in spring, and the leaks report when the shrink-swell of hot days opens them up.

Wichita winters swing: bright mild weeks, then an ice storm or a hard cold snap. Water that works into a crack or under a lifted shingle by day can freeze and widen it by night, snow loads sit on low-slope roofs until a thaw, and ice dams form at the eaves of poorly insulated homes. Winter is inspection and planning season here - the roofs read in winter get fixed in spring, ahead of the storms.
