What Makes Roof Shingles Deteriorate?

Roof shingles deteriorate over time because of prolonged exposure to sunlight, heat, moisture, severe weather, and natural aging. Although asphalt shingles are designed to withstand years of outdoor conditions, their protective materials gradually break down, making the roof more vulnerable to damage and water intrusion. Homes throughout Georgia and North Florida experience particularly demanding conditions, including intense summer heat, high humidity, heavy rainfall, and seasonal storms.
