FAQs
How does Whitwell’s blistering summer heat affect my roof?
Extended exposure to high temperatures and intense UV rays can cause shingles to dry out, curl, and lose granules more quickly. Metal components may also expand and contract, loosening fasteners. Proper ventilation and heat-resistant materials help minimize damage.
What roofing materials perform best in Whitwell’s hot climate?
Cool-roof asphalt shingles with reflective granules, standing-seam metal roofs coated in reflective paint, and tile or slate roofs are all excellent choices. They reflect more sunlight, reduce attic temperatures, and have longer life spans under extreme heat.
Can a new roof really lower my summer energy bills?
Yes. Installing a roof with high solar reflectance and proper attic ventilation can drop attic temperatures by 20–40 °F, easing the load on your HVAC system. Homeowners in Whitwell often see energy savings of 10–20 % after upgrading to a cool-roof system.
How often should my roof be inspected during Whitwell’s summer months?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once each summer and another after severe storms. Early detection of heat-related issues like shingle blistering or sealant cracking prevents costly repairs later.
What steps do you take to ensure roofing is done right in extreme heat?
Our crews start work early, monitor shingle temperatures to avoid overheating, and use heat-rated adhesives that cure correctly. We also install ridge vents and intake vents to optimize airflow, keeping your roof system stable during peak heat.
Is there a warranty that covers heat-related damage?
Absolutely. We offer manufacturer warranties of up to 30 years on heat-resistant shingles and a 10-year workmanship warranty. These warranties cover defects and many heat-induced issues, giving Whitwell homeowners peace of mind during blistering summers.
