Heavy snow

Ice dams form when heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the roof and the water refreezes at the eaves. Good attic insulation and air flow, plus an ice-and-water shield along the eaves, prevent most of them.

Older homes

On older homes, ask your roofer to check the roof deck for rot and to say whether old layers of shingles must come off. Both can add to the price.

Hail

Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles stand up to hail better, and some insurers give a discount for them. Ask your insurer before you choose.
