Charlotte’s in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cfa).
Hot summers. Stormy springs. High humidity. Occasional hurricanes pushing inland. What that causes: Wind tearing off poorly nailed shingles. Moisture creeping under ridge caps. Algae growth on north-facing roofs. Heat cracking old asphalt. Hail damage that shows up months later. Charlotte roofs don’t die from age — they die from weather swings.
