Commercial Roofers in Gillette, WY

Gillette's climate is high plains at its most intense. Winters bring sub-zero temperatures and wind that blows snow sideways instead of letting it pile up. Summers are hot and dry with afternoon thunderstorms that build fast off the Bighorn Mountains to the west. Hail is a regular visitor. The wind is the constant — it blows most days of the year with enough force to be a factor in everything that happens on a rooftop.

Wind and hail are the two forces that dominate roofing decisions in Gillette. The energy sector buildings — shops, equipment storage, office complexes — tend to be large footprint with flat or low-slope roofs, which maximizes wind exposure. Snow drifting is more of a problem than total snowfall because the wind redistributes what falls, creating localized heavy loads on one side of a building while the other side is swept clean.
