What Affects Rates in Erie
- The December 23, 2023 blizzard brought sustained high winds and heavy snow across Erie County, causing widespread tree fall onto roofs and structural loading failures on older homes with compromised decking.
- An EF0 tornado with 70 mph winds touched down southeast of Union City on August 12, 2023, damaging roofs along O'Neil Road and Concord Road with shingle peeling and exposed underlayment.
- Wind gusts reaching 69 mph at Erie International Airport on January 12, 2024 resulted in downed trees and over 3,000 power outages, with widespread roof edge lifting and fascia damage across residential neighborhoods.
- Erie County's median home build year of 1963 means many roofs are approaching or past third replacement cycles, with original asphalt shingle installations from the 1990s now shedding granules and cracking under freeze-thaw cycling.
