The weather in South Bend, Indiana, is dire all year round, but the summer time brings UV light as well as humidity.
The Spring as well as fall seasons tend to be rainy as well as windy; Winters are especially long, with uneven temperatures well below cold as well as lots of snow. The conditions are taxing on the roof! Ice, sleet, hail, pests, blizzards as well as thunderstorms undermine the durability, curb appeal as well as longevity of the roofing system. I was reluctant to substitute my roof. The shingles had leaked as well as been repaired as well as re-roofed so several times that the whole system needed to be torn off. There was extensive water detriment. I knew that it would be a actually pricey, lengthy as well as invasive project. I procrastinated for as long as possible… Every time it rained, I would run around as well as location buckets under the drips from the ceiling. I had the roof substituted during the month of June, hoping to avoid the concerns of a downpour. That year, the temperature in South Bend soared into the high eighties as well as even the nineties nearly every day. With no roof on the house, my great friend and I couldn’t run the a/c. The living space became horribly overheated as well as sticky. There was dirt, debris as well as bugs to deal with! However, once the new roof was in location, I noticed a huge difference in our level of comfort. The a/c was able to cool the house down within an hour. My daily electric bill was drastically lower. The next winter, I was able to set a lower temperature control setting. I paid less in heating bills as well as yet the house was perfectly warm as well as cozy.
