What Affects Rates in Lexington
- 45 thunderstorm wind events struck Fayette County in the last five years, with gusts documented at 65 mph in February 2023 and 56 mph in September 2024. Wind lifts shingle edges, exposes underlayment, and accelerates granule loss.
- The February 2022 ice storm deposited a quarter inch of ice across Lexington, loading roofs and creating freeze-thaw cycles that degrade flashing and valley seals. Three winter storm events logged since 2021.
- 8 hail events recorded in Fayette County over the last five years. Hail bruises shingles without visible punctures, reducing granule adhesion and shortening roof lifespan by years.
- Median home construction year in Fayette County is 1983. Homes built before 1990 often carry original or first-replacement roofs nearing failure thresholds, particularly after sustained wind or hail exposure.
- March and February bring concentrated high wind and ice storm activity to Lexington. Scheduling replacement before March reduces exposure to peak storm months and contractor backlog.
