Hail stones, heavy rain, and humidity! If you’ve lived in Alabama long enough, you know that the weather can get wild no matter what time of the year. This unpredictable weather introduces potential roofing problems for local Alabama homeowners. HomeSafe Roofing experts offer solutions to these weather issues and more.
Weather Patterns That Challenge Roofs in Alabama
Alabama averages around 80 days of thunderstorms and 30 tornadoes annually. These severe storms and high winds can cause shingle damage and leaks in roofs, leading to other damage within the home. And Alabama temperatures can range from 100 degrees in the summer to well-below freezing during the winter months. These variable temperature ranges bear a significant impact on roofs in the region.
High humidity throughout the year and the resulting moisture can lead to mold, mildew, and rot. This shortens the life of your roof when not addressed. And the intense summer heat in Alabama contributes to faster roof wear through shingle curling and material expansion.
Seasonal shifts in weather, which cause rapid heating and cooling, lead to stress on roofing materials, compromising your roof’s integrity.
Addressing Alabama Weather Challenges
HomeSafe Roofing addresses these weather-related challenges using proactive solutions that leave customers with peace of mind throughout every weather situation.
Our use of Certainteed shingles allow our roofs to withstand Alabama storms better than inferior roofs. CertainTeed’s Class-4 impact resistant shingles are built to handle hail and debris better and undergo testing with steel balls. These shingles are also designed to hold surface granules better due to their superior granule adhesion, helping resist loss caused by hail impact. These superior roofing shingles offer high wind resistance with warranties covering wind speeds of 110 mph and greater. The high-grade adhesive used on our shingles also helps prevent blow-off and moisture infiltration and are created with a polymer-modified asphalt formula and fiberglass backing that increases their strength and flexibility.
HomeSafe provides moisture management and ventilation expertise by installing proper attic ventilation systems that reduce humidity and prevent dry rot alongside Certainteed shingles which fight algae staining.
Our heat-resistant roofing materials provide cooler roof options and energy-efficient shingles to combat Alabama’s extreme summer temps. This in turn helps lower energy costs to homeowners. Our shingles use ClimateFlex technology, making them pliable in hot or cold temperatures which reduces brittleness and stiffness.
