Roofing in Hudson: what to know

Hudson is a growing town southwest of Waterloo along U.S. Highway 63, with a mix of older homes near the center and newer subdivisions on the edges. Open farm fields around town mean wind hits roofs with little to slow it down.

Wind-lifted shingle tabs and creased ridge caps are common calls in Hudson after spring and summer storms. Newer homes often have big, simple gable roofs that catch a lot of wind and hail.
