Really helpful overview that actually connects the material choice to what the weather does to your roof long term. I appreciated the practical details like ice-and-water shield placement for snowy areas and the note about thermal expansion in hot climates. Would’ve loved a quick cost comparison between metal, tile, and shingles, but overall it’s a solid guide.
This was a really helpful breakdown of how climate should drive roofing choices, not just the look. I liked that it didn’t stop at the top material and actually talked about underlayment, ventilation, and details like flashing and edge work. The sections on coastal wind-driven rain and cold-climate ice dam prevention were especially clear. Only thing I wished for was a quick chart or cheat sheet at the end to compare options side by side.
