What the weather does to roofs in David City
Across the 1991-2020 climate normals, David City averages summer highs averaging 84°F, 30 in of precipitation a year, and 30 in of snow — the loads a replacement here is bought to survive.
The dominant stressor is freeze-thaw cycling. David City’s 151 days a year dropping to freezing sits in the 94th percentile among the 1,037 cities covered here. 151 crossings of 32°F a year work moisture into every nail hole and flashing lap, then expand it. Sealant-dependent repairs are the first thing to go, which is why flashing in David City is better replaced than re-caulked when a roof is opened up.
Average winter lows of 14°F compounds it — lower than all but 6% of the same set. Winter lows averaging 14°F matter for scheduling more than for product choice. Asphalt shingles will not seal below roughly 40°F, so a David City roof finished late in the season can sit unbonded until spring. Ask whether the crew hand-seals, and when they plan to start.
