Dallas experiences 100-plus degree days from June through September, creating roof surface temperatures that exceed 160 degrees on dark shingles. These extreme heat cycles cause asphalt shingles to become brittle and crack along stress points. When temperatures drop 40 to 50 degrees overnight, the rapid contraction creates additional stress that accelerates material fatigue. This thermal cycling shortens the window between repairable damage and full system failure. A roof that could last another five years in milder climates often needs replacement within two years in North Texas. The reroof vs repair assessment must account for this accelerated aging when projecting remaining service life and calculating cost effectiveness of patch repairs versus complete replacement.
