Camanche sits on the Mississippi and it knows what severe weather does. The housing is a mix of mid century and later, and wind is taken more seriously here than in most towns this size.
Wind Rating Is Not a Luxury Here
On a river town roof the difference between a basic shingle and a properly wind rated one installed with a six nail pattern is the difference between a roof that stays on and a claim.
It costs very little extra at the time of a replacement and it cannot be added later.
What We Get Called For in Camanche
- Wind damage and ridge cap loss after severe weather
- Emergency tarping after summer storms
- Mid century housing reaching a second or third roof
