UV and heat exposure

Constant sun can dry out asphalt shingles, age sealants, and accelerate cracking around penetrations and flashing.

Wind uplift

Strong wind can lift shingles, stress edges, expose fasteners, and drive rain under vulnerable roof transitions.

Hail impact

Hail can bruise shingles, dent vents and gutters, and shorten roof life even when leaks do not show immediately.

Dust and drainage issues

Dust and debris can collect around valleys, scuppers, gutters, and low-slope areas, making drainage inspections important.

FAQs

Common questions from this guide.

How often should a Hobbs roof be inspected?

Annual inspections are wise, with an additional inspection after major hail, high wind, or wind-driven rain events.

Can hail damage be invisible from the ground?
