Midwest Faces Harsh Roofing Conditions: Insights from Hansons
US · Published Aug 28, 2026
Hansons, a roofing company with over 35 years of experience, highlights the challenges of roofing in the Midwest and Mountain states.
These regions face extreme weather conditions, including hail, high winds, heavy snow, and freeze-thaw cycles, which test the durability of roofing materials.

Impact & Risks

Homeowners in states like Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Michigan, and Ohio are particularly affected by severe weather conditions that can compromise standard roofing materials. Hail storms, high winds exceeding 100 mph, and freeze-thaw cycles can lead to roof damage, leaks, and structural issues. Without durable materials like Class 4 impact-rated shingles, roofs in these areas are at risk of premature failure, potentially leading to costly repairs and safety hazards.
