Under the trees
Shade and leaf litter keep shingles damp longer and can encourage moss and granule loss. Keeping gutters and valleys clear and trimming branches helps shingles last.
Hail
Class 4 impact-resistant shingles hold up better in hail. Ask your insurer whether they offer a discount.
Ventilation
Balanced attic ventilation keeps shingles from cooking in summer and reduces moisture in winter.
