Roofing conditions in Bend
Bend sits at roughly 3,600 feet on the dry side of the Cascades. Roofs here take real winter snow load, repeated freeze-thaw swings between cold nights and sunny days, and about 300 days a year of intense high-desert UV. That combination ages shingles faster than the rainy Willamette Valley, and it is hard on sealants, pipe boots and exposed fasteners.
