Maize Through the Roofing Year

Fall is the repair window. The severe season is past, the weather turns calm and cooler, and there is time to fix what the storms found, replace what the hail retired, and get a roof ready for winter ice. It is also when honest assessments happen, because a dry, cool roof shows its true condition to an inspector.

Spring is storm season in Wichita, and it is roof season too. From March into June, supercell thunderstorms roll off the plains with hail, driving rain and damaging wind, and the roofs that get inspected before the season are the ones that come through it quietly. A spring inspection - fasteners, sealant, edges, drainage - is the single most valuable appointment on the Wichita roof calendar.

Wind is the second force, and it never fully leaves. Kansas wind works at shingles, ridge caps, flashing and siding edges day after day, and storm outflows arrive with gusts that find every lifted tab and tired seal. A roof's fastening - how it was nailed and sealed when it went on - is its real wind rating, whatever the paperwork says.
