Local conditions that affect this work

Colder than eastern Virginia with real snow accumulation, plus summer thunderstorms and occasional hail near the Blue Ridge.

Virginia's freeze-thaw cycling in the north and west and its tropical-remnant wind events in the east produce different repair patterns. Inland markets see more flashing and ice-related failures; coastal markets see more uplift and fastener issues.
