What Storm Damage Looks Like in San Rafael

• Missing or lifted shingles — the winter wind stripped the roof
• Algae damage exposed — the storm found the shingles the algae had weakened

Why San Rafael Roofs Get Storm Damage

The winter wind is the main cause. The storms roll through the North Bay from November through April, and the wind lifts the shingles on the exposed roofs. The wind speed and the direction matter more than the storm type.

The algae makes it worse. The fog-fed algae degrades the shingle surface and weakens the roof. The winter wind finds the weak shingles first.
