How does West Virginia's weather affect roof lifespan?
West Virginia endures 40, 50 inches of rain each year while snowfall swings dramatically, from about 10 inches in the lowlands to as much as 60 inches on the high country. Add to that the ever‑present ridge winds and the harsh summer sun and roofs are forced to battle rot, algae, ice dams, shingle uplift and UV degradation causing them to age faster on the Allegheny and Appalachian ridges than, in the lower sheltered valleys. What is the most common cause of roof damage in West Virginia?
In West Virginia the leading cause of roof damage is wind from storms and falling trees a consequence of the forested Appalachian slopes. Summer thunderstorms and winter ice or heavy wet snow often strip shingles, damage flashing and hurl branches, onto the roof. What is the best time of year to replace a roof in West Virginia?
In West Virginia schedule roof replacements from May through early October; the sweet spot, for installing new windows falls in June and September when temperatures stay comfortable and rain eases. Because higher Appalachian elevations trim the season late spring or September is safest up there while the low valleys can accommodate midsummer work, provided snow, storms and peak humidity are avoided. Insurance & Storms
How common are storm-related roof claims in West Virginia?
Storm‑related roof claims are a part of life in West Virginia especially after the mountains are battered by high winds, hail, heavy snow or ice dams that build up on the ridges. When trees topple in the wooded hollows and roofs have aged the number of filings spikes. The peak of claim activity lines up with the spring storm season. The winter nor’easters, hitting hardest in exposed ridge communities and, in older homes with steep‑slope roofs. What natural disasters in West Virginia cause the most roof replacements?
In West Virginia roofs tend to be replaced after the area endures high‑speed winds or tornadoes that accompany thunderstorms and derechos after sudden localized flooding such as the June 2016 West Virginia floods and after winter’s icy heavy‑wet snow, in the Alleghenies that can lead to leaks or even collapse. Hail and occasional wildfire damage are less common. Top Roofing Contractors in West Virginia
