What Affects Rates in Dayton
- Thunderstorm wind is the dominant storm type: Montgomery County's 48 thunderstorm wind events outnumber hail and tornado events combined, driving shingle blow-off and fascia damage across older single-family neighborhoods.
- Median home age increases vulnerability: The county's median build year of 1965 means many roofs are on their second or third replacement cycle, with aging decking that complicates wind uplift resistance.
- March and June tornado activity: Ohio's tornado season peaks in June, March, and August; Montgomery County's two recent tornadoes occurred in those windows, both damaging trees and structures in Union and near the Air Force Base.
- High wind events exceed design thresholds: The 62 mph gust recorded in September 2024 at Wright Brothers Airport surpasses the wind speed many older asphalt shingles were rated to handle, particularly on homes built before 1980.
