What Affects Rates in Great Falls
- July 2022 hail reached 2.25 inches along Interstate 15, halting traffic. October 2024 wind gusts hit 75 mph at Great Falls Airport. Both events caused widespread shingle damage across residential neighborhoods.
- May 2024 blizzard dropped 28 inches of snow at Onion Park Snotel with prolonged low visibility. November 2024 sustained winds averaged 45 mph for over an hour. Heavy snow accumulation stresses aging roof structures.
- Cascade County's median home was built in 1969. Roofs approaching 50 years face material fatigue compounded by repeated storm exposure, making full replacement the practical solution after major hail or wind damage.
- Heavy snow and blizzard events peak in February, December, and April. Roof replacement projects scheduled after spring snowmelt avoid winter weather delays and allow contractors to complete work during stable conditions.
