Climate impacts your roof’s lifespan tremendously, especially in Florida where we face unique challenges. Our intense UV radiation accelerates material deterioration, causing premature aging and brittleness in many roofing products. High humidity levels create perfect conditions for mold, mildew, and algae growth, particularly on north-facing sections. Hurricane-force winds test even the best installation methods, while torrential rains find any vulnerability in your roofing system. Heat buildup in attic spaces can cook roofing materials from below, shortening their useful life. These factors explain why the same roofing material might last significantly longer in milder climates than in our beautiful but demanding Florida environment.
