North Texas is known for it’s unstable weather patterns. You can wake up one more and have to layer and scrape your windows. Then, by lunch, you’re have to change your shoes because it’s way too hot outside for boots. It’s insane, but it’s to be expected in this area. And, for most of us, it’s all we know. And while we might be used to it, how do our homes handle this hot-cold dance that Mother Nature enjoys so much?
The answer is simple and complicated at the same time. The simple part is that roof systems are designed to endure tough weather conditions. But the complicated part is that tough weather conditions don’t usually entail a snow storm and extreme heat all in one day.

Luckily, roofing experts in North Texas are well aware of how fast weather conditions change. And the manufacturers that providing roofing materials have incredibly advanced systems in place to protect against Mother Nature.

Joe Hall Roofing offers the latest in residential roofing technology. Working with manufacturers like GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Malarkey, Engineered Steel, DaVinci Roofscapes, Inspire by Tapco, and Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau, customers can rest assure that their roofing materials are made to handle the extreme weather of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

With that being said, it is important that homeowners understand that extreme weather conditions can cause roof damage if preventative care doesn’t occur.

Heat is the most prominent condition that affects roof systems in North Texas. The heat beating down on a roof all day can cause the roof to age faster than homes that do not suffer the same heat exposure. From shingles cracking to tearing or curling up, it’s important to always keep an eye on your roof system and call an expert for an assessment.

Strong Winds are also another factor to consider in the North Texas area. Wind has the power to rip and tear shingles from the roof with ease, even when the roof system is installed with extreme precision. Any time strong winds blow through, make sure you carefully inspect your roof, from the ground, to see if any damage was done. If you notice anything loose or missing, call a roofing contractor to take a closer look.

Even when strong winds themselves don’t cause harm, the winds can cause debris to fall on the roof system. Tree limbs that fall onto the roof system can cause extensive damage. So make sure you take keep trees trimmed and away from the house.
