Maryland weather exposure
Different materials respond differently to local conditions.
Wind can lift, crease, or loosen shingles and panels.
Heavy rain can expose flashing, drainage, and penetration issues.
Tree debris can damage shingles, slate, cedar, and membrane systems.
Temperature changes can contribute to expansion, contraction, and seal failure.
Low-slope roofs depend heavily on drainage and membrane condition.
Older materials may become brittle, difficult to match, or impractical to repair.
