Gadsden sees 55 inches of rain and about 1 inch of snow each year with an average wind speed near 9 mph and close to 2,150 hours of sunshine annually. The humidity that clings to the Coosa River valley encourages algae growth and traps moisture on roof shingles. Frequent summer thunderstorms, sweltering heat and relentless UV exposure accelerate asphalt aging, while occasional gusts wear down the shingles’ integrity. Consequently shingle lifespan in this environment is typically reduced by ten to thirty percent compared with roofs, in locales.

What is the most common cause of roof damage in Gadsden, Alabama?

In Gadsden the common roof damage stems from the brutal summer thunderstorms, especially the whipping wind and hammering hail, often aggravated by the occasional plunge of a mature oak limb, from the trees that line the Coosa River, each one capable of tearing shingles or cracking tiles.

In Gadsden, Etowah County nestled along the Coosa River, the prime window for replacing a roof falls in the shoulder seasons, spring, roughly April through May or early autumn about September, to October.
