Connecticut's climate presents unique challenges for roof shingles. Cold winters bring snow and ice, which can lead to ice dams and water backup. Freeze-thaw cycles can cause shingles to crack and become brittle. Summers can be humid, creating conditions for mold and mildew growth. These elements combine to stress your shingles and shorten their lifespan if not properly addressed.
