Florida’s alternating weather can easily wear out your residential roof in Clearwater FL. Rotating exposure to the heat of the sun, rain and wind can weaken your shingles and can wreak considerable damage over time. Of course, you will have no way of knowing that your roof is leaking until your area experiences heavy rains.
Moreover, on extremely hot days, a worn-out shingle will tend to absorb more heat. When this happens, your household will experience more humidity and you will be forced to use the AC more often than you normally would.
