Washington Climate Risks for Roofs

The oceanic with heavy rain and mild temperatures climate exposes roofs to a specific mix of stressors year-round.

Hail Risk in Washington

Hail is rare in Washington. Most roof damage comes from wind, UV exposure, and aging — but inspect after any severe weather.

Wind Risk in Washington

High wind risk. Gusts lift shingle tabs, loosen ridge caps, and tear off poorly secured flashing. After any event with 50+ mph gusts, inspect from the ground for missing or lifted shingles.

Hail damage often requires roof replacement in
