What Affects Rates in Philadelphia
- 48 thunderstorm wind events since 2021 drive shingle loss and flashing failure across the metro, with peak activity May through July.
- 8 recorded hail events in 5 years create granule loss and bruising that may not surface until months after impact.
- The July 2021 EF0 tornado in Bustleton tore roofing material from row homes on Grant Avenue; the EF3 event the same day uprooted trees and damaged structures near Southampton Road.
- Median home age of 1949 across Philadelphia County means many roofs are on their second or third replacement cycle, with underlying deck and framing considerations.
- January 2022 winter storm deposited 7.5 inches at Philadelphia International Airport, adding ice dam risk and freeze-thaw load to vulnerable roof edges.
