Idaho's climate brings both extreme heat and significant cold to roof shingles. Summers can be very hot, causing shingles to degrade and lose granules. Winters bring heavy snowfall and ice, creating potential for ice dams and moisture intrusion. The freeze-thaw cycles in between seasons can also cause shingles to become brittle and crack.
