What's different about roofs in Buffalo
At 13" of rain per year, Buffalo is a moderate climate for roofing — not dry enough that UV is the dominant concern, not wet enough that moss and algae are a constant fight, so standard maintenance intervals generally apply. Average lows down to 33°F bring real freeze-thaw risk here, and ice dams become a genuine concern where snow accumulates and refreezes at the eaves — proper attic ventilation and insulation matter as much as the roofing material itself.
Buffalo's temperature range doesn't impose the kind of seasonal sealing or safety constraints seen in more extreme climates, so roofing work can generally be scheduled with more flexibility here than in places with harsher winters or summers.
Buffalo's climate doesn't push toward one clear material choice over another — standard asphalt shingles (typically lasting 18-25 years in Wyoming) remain a solid, cost-effective default here.
