FREEZE RISK NOTES
WEATHER IMPACT ON ROOFS
Large temperature swings in this area drive thermal expansion. Strong sun promotes UV degratation. Wind-driven rain affects especially shingle roofs. Hail frequency compounds previous damage even if it does not do considerable direct damage.
COMMON ROOF DAMAGE
Shingle bruising, granule loss, flashing displacement, vent cap damage.
LOCAL ROOFING NOTES
Tornado damage in Fort Worth in the early 2000s led directly to changes in property and property investment law for the whole state of Texas, including insurance and subject-to instruments.
