Roofing in Madeira

A compact, established eastside city where most roofs are straightforward asphalt and the interesting problems are at the details.

The housing stock

Madeira incorporated as a village in 1910.

A settled residential city of mixed twentieth-century housing, much of it single-family on modest lots.

What we look at on a roof in Madeira

• Pipe boots and step flashing, which is where the majority of residential leaks on stock of this age begin.
• Ventilation that was never brought up to date when the attic was insulated.
• Additions and enclosed porches, where a low-slope section meets the main roof.

What the storm record actually shows

Within five miles of the center of 45243, NOAA recorded 1 hail event and 17 damaging-wind events between 2021 and 19 May 2026. The largest hail on record is 1″ on 5 July 2022. The strongest recorded gust is 50 kt (58 mph).

That ratio is the point. Wind outnumbers hail here by a wide margin, which is why the starter course, the drip edge and the nailing pattern do more for a roof in Madeira than the impact rating printed on the shingle wrapper. Wind damage also does not look like damage from the ground: a creased or unsealed shingle sits flat and looks fine until the next storm takes it.

Storm Check lists every one of these events with dates, sizes and distances for ZIP 45243.
