The American roof is a symbol of security and shelter. But across this vast nation, the conditions a roof endures vary greatly. In Michigan City, homeowners face a particularly demanding roofing landscape. Here, we'll explore the unique challenges of this region and how Weldon Roofing & Construction helps Michiganders conquer them.

A Microcosm of American Weather: Michigan City experiences all four seasons in full force. Summer's scorching sun can bake asphalt shingles, while surprise hailstorms can wreak havoc. Winter brings heavy snow loads, putting immense strain on roof structures. This constant cycle of extreme temperatures and precipitation makes choosing the right roofing materials and installation techniques crucial.

Michigan City vs. The US Landscape: Compared to the national average, Michigan City receives significantly more snowfall (average 70 inches vs. national average 28 inches). Additionally, the Great Lakes create a microclimate with increased humidity, which can accelerate shingle deterioration and promote the growth of mold and mildew.

These factors demand a focus on:

• Durability: Roofs in Michigan City need to withstand the harsh elements. Metal roofs, known for their longevity, may be a better choice compared to traditional asphalt shingles in some cases.
• Impact Resistance: Hail damage is a real threat. Choosing impact-resistant shingles can offer an extra layer of protection.
• Snow Load Capacity: A properly designed roof needs to support the weight of heavy snowfall. Weldon Roofing & Construction employs experienced structural engineers to ensure roofs can handle Michigan City's winter burden.
• Ventilation: Proper ventilation is vital to prevent moisture buildup and promote healthy roof longevity. Our team prioritizes proper ventilation techniques during installation.
