Georgia Climate Risks for Roofs

The humid subtropical with hot summers and occasional severe storms climate exposes roofs to a specific mix of stressors year-round.

Hail Risk in Georgia

Moderate hail risk. Smaller hail can knock granules off shingles and expose the fiberglass mat. Check gutters for excessive granule loss after any hailstorm and schedule an inspection if you suspect damage.

Wind Risk in Georgia

Moderate wind risk. Frontal storms can lift older shingles and loosen flashing. Roofs over 15 years old with brittle seal strips are most vulnerable.
