What the weather does to roofs in York
Across the 1991-2020 climate normals, York averages summer highs averaging 87°F, 29 in of precipitation a year, and 24 in of snow — the loads a replacement here is bought to survive.
The dominant stressor is deep winter cold. York’s average winter lows of 18°F sits lower than all but 14% of the 1,037 cities covered here. Winter lows averaging 18°F matter for scheduling more than for product choice. Asphalt shingles will not seal below roughly 40°F, so a York roof finished late in the season can sit unbonded until spring. Ask whether the crew hand-seals, and when they plan to start.
131 days a year dropping to freezing compounds it — in the 82nd percentile among the same set. 131 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 York is better replaced than re-caulked when a roof is opened up.
