What Affects Rates in Cheyenne
- 416 high wind events in five years make wind uplift the leading cause of shingle failure in Cheyenne, especially on older roofs built before current code wind ratings.
- 99 hail events and 5 confirmed tornadoes since 2021, including a June 2023 EF-scale tornado 12 miles west of Albin that damaged a residence and destroyed outbuildings.
- 24 winter storm events and 40 heavy snow events stress older roof framing and cause ice dams on low-slope sections, particularly on homes built around the county median year of 1979.
- 8 blizzard events in five years bring sustained wind and rapid snow accumulation, tearing shingles and collapsing unsupported flat roof sections on garages and additions.
- Winter storms run December through February, narrowing the ideal replacement window to late spring through early fall when temperatures stay above shingle sealing thresholds.
