As seasoned roofers in Bucks County, we at Sterner Brothers Roofing know how unpredictable our local weather can be. From icy winters to humid summers and the occasional storm, your roof needs to stand up to a variety of elements. That’s where weather-resistant shingles come into play.

Choosing the right shingles isn’t just about appearance—it’s about protecting your investment and keeping your family safe year-round.

What Makes a Shingle “Weather-Resistant”?

Weather-resistant shingles are designed to:

• Withstand high winds
• Repel heavy rain and moisture
• Resist cracking during freezing temperatures
• Prevent UV damage in hot summer months

Top Shingle Choices for Bucks County Homes

1. Architectural Asphalt Shingles
   These are a favorite among Bucks County homeowners. They’re durable, budget-friendly, and offer excellent wind and water resistance.
2. Impact-Resistant Shingles
   Ideal for areas prone to hail or falling branches. These shingles are reinforced to withstand physical impact without cracking.
3. Cool Roof Shingles
   If energy efficiency is a priority, these reflective shingles can help reduce attic heat and lower cooling costs during warmer months.
4. Synthetic Slate or Composite Shingles
   For a classic look with modern performance, composite shingles offer a high-end appearance with built-in resistance to the elements.
