Mindy Dahlquist: My name is Mindy Dalquist and I am the business development manager at TRA Snow and Sun. So weather is going to impact our roofs no matter where you live in the United States or Canada or wherever else you live. Weather will impact your roof. Mother Nature is quite the beast and everyone out there is going to have a different problem and a different solution for their area so if its water or rain...same thing, that impacts your roof, your solution may be something such as roofing material or if you're having ice damming problems it could be the temperature variances on your roof's surface.

If you're having snow concerns, things like snow retention, heat cables are options out there to help mitigate any kinds of damages in danger with snow. If you're dealing with hail and wind uplift then roofing material really is going to play a very crucial part in how to handle that solution. So every situation is going to be different. RoofersCoffeeShop has a lot of information on beneficial solutions for all different types of roofing environments and all different types of homes as well so I think utilizing those resources and utilizing your local associations will also be helpful to determine what other roofers in your area are utilizing or what other manufacturers might be out there with some type of solution for your problem.
