With 113 damaging-wind events recorded across Chattooga County, lifted, creased, and torn-off shingles are among the most common roofing calls near Summerville.
Many Summerville homes were built around 1978, so roofs here are commonly 48+ years old — near or past the 20–30 year lifespan of asphalt shingles, when curling, granule loss, and leaks set in.
Chattooga County has logged 9 hail events in the last 11 years, some with stones up to 1.5 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.
Chattooga 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 Summerville encourage moss and algae growth and trap moisture, which degrades shingles and decking over time.
