Heat
Valley summers are hard on shingles. Good attic ventilation and lighter colors help them last and keep the house cooler.

Wind and hail
High-wind installation methods keep tabs down, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles hold up better in hail. Ask your insurer about discounts.

Common questions
How long do shingles last here?
Often 20–30 years with good installation and ventilation.
Should I tear off?
Usually, so the deck and flashing can be done right.
