When Roanoke hits 105°F in July, your roof surface temperature reaches 150–170°F. At those temperatures, the petroleum-based oils in asphalt shingles literally cook out of the material — causing drying, brittleness, curling, cracking, and accelerated granule loss. Here’s what extreme heat does to your roof and how to protect against it. How Heat Destroys Shingles…

Here’s how long each…
