🌴 What Damages Florida Roofs the Most?

1. UV Radiation – Constant sun exposure dries out shingles and weakens materials.

2. Heavy Rain & Storms – Water intrusion and wind uplift can destroy poorly installed or aged roofs.

3. Humidity & Algae – Can rot underlayment and cause staining, especially on shaded roofs.

4. Hurricane Winds – Lift shingles, bend flashing, or cause flying debris damage.

5. Salt Air (Near Coastlines) – Corrodes metal roofing faster if not properly coated.

🛠️ 6 Ways to Extend the Life of Your Roof in Florida

1. Schedule Annual Inspections
   Spot small issues like cracked shingles or loose flashing before they lead to major damage.

2. Keep Gutters Clean
   Clogged gutters lead to water backup, which can rot decking and cause leaks.

3. Trim Nearby Trees
   Overhanging branches can scrape shingles or fall during storms.

4. Improve Ventilation
   Proper airflow prevents heat buildup and moisture damage in the attic.

5. Apply Algae-Resistant Treatments
   Especially important in humid or shaded areas.

6. Repair Damage Immediately
   One missing shingle can lead to widespread water damage if left unchecked.
