With 52 damaging-wind events recorded across Forsyth County, lifted, creased, and torn-off shingles are among the most common roofing calls near Cumming.
Forsyth County has logged 17 hail events in the last 11 years, some with stones up to 1.75 inches. Hail bruises shingles, knocks loose the protective granules, and cracks aging shingles — damage that often doesn't leak right away but shortens roof life.
Forsyth County has seen 2 tornadoes in the past 11 years. Severe storms can strip shingles, puncture decking, and cause leaks that need fast, professional repair.
Humidity and frequent rain around Cumming encourage moss and algae growth and trap moisture, which degrades shingles and decking over time.
| Season | What it means for your roof |
