☀️Your roof takes the heat all summer so you don't have to. But that constant exposure to high temperatures and UV rays causes real damage over time. Here's what's actually going on up there.
🔹 Heat makes shingles expand and contract. Over time this leads to cracking, curling, and warping — especially on older roofs.
🔹 UV rays break down roofing materials. Direct sun exposure degrades asphalt shingles faster than most homeowners realize.
🔹 Poor ventilation traps heat in your attic. This can push interior temps over 150°F and accelerate damage from the inside out.
What to look for this summer:
✔️ Curling, cracking, or buckling shingles
✔️ Fading & discoloration
✔️ Bubble-like raised areas on shingles
✔️ Excessive granules in your gutters
