Why Wind Resistance Matters in North Carolina
North Carolina’s weather can be tough on roofs. In the Foothills and Piedmont, homeowners deal with strong thunderstorms, the occasional tropical storm, and high wind gusts that put shingles to the test. In the winter, ice storms can cause additional strain, especially for homes in higher elevations.
Choosing shingles with high wind resistance and advanced sealing technology ensures your roof can withstand these conditions without losing shingles or suffering premature wear.
