The First Heat Wave Is Coming—Can Your Roof Handle It?



Summer’s knocking early—and the first heat wave of the season is on the way.
Before the temps hit triple digits in Irvine and throughout Orange County, now is the time to ask yourself:
Is your roof ready?

At Fox Roofing Company, we see it every year—shingles curling, tiles cracking, underlayment giving out—all because of prolonged sun exposure and built-up heat. If you want your roof to stay strong (and keep your home cool), here’s what to know before the heat wave hits.


☀️ What Heat Waves Do to Your Roof

SoCal sun isn’t just intense—it’s relentless. Days of 90°+ temperatures can:

  • Dry out and curl asphalt shingles

  • Fade and crack roof tiles

  • Warp or blister underlayment

  • Break down sealant around vents and flashing

  • Overheat your attic and raise energy bills

Even roofs that look fine from the street can be suffering underneath.


🔍 Warning Signs Your Roof Might Not Be Ready

Before the heat hits, step outside and check for:

  • Bald shingles or loose tiles

  • Discoloration or warping near roof edges

  • Gutters filled with granules or debris

  • Hot, stuffy attic spaces

  • Ceiling spots or faint water stains

Don’t wait until the AC’s running nonstop or you find a leak during your July BBQ.


🧰 What We Check in a Pre-Summer Roof Inspection

Our free heat-readiness inspection includes:

  • Full roof surface scan for sun and wind damage
