What shapes roof work here

Winter is the first reason Waltham homeowners call. The Bedford Hanscom Field weather station records 59 inches of snow and about 139 freezing days a year in the 1991 to 2020 normals, which puts ice-dam risk at High. Hail adds a second reason: 55 reports within 15 km since 2000 place the area in the High band, with July the peak month and May through August the season.

Roofers Hotline books roof inspections and gives you a written estimate before any work starts. Call before the next May thaw-to-summer storm stretch, so any ice-dam damage is found and priced before hail season begins.

Not by the numbers. In the local ZIP code, 70.2% of homes were built before 1980 and the median build year is 1954. Boston's figures are 74% and 1947. Older roofs tend to need closer checks of decking and flashing, so call for an inspection and a written estimate.

When is hail most likely to hit the area?

July is the peak month, and 135 of 139 hail reports within 25 km fall between May and August. the local 55 reports within 15 km since 2000 put it in the High band. Book an inspection before May, or right after any summer storm, and ask for a written estimate.

Why do roofs here leak?

Most leaks here start at flashing, pipe boots and valleys. The nearest weather station records about 43 inches of rain a year. A leak repair begins by tracing the entry point.
