Black Hills sees the highest precipitation at around 30 inches every year). The state also sees a fair number of hurricanes, ice storms and blizzards, on account of its eastern part lying right within the country’s infamous “tornado alley.”

Being in a region of weather extremes means that South Dakota residents need to have roofs that are extremely resilient, and also create a comfortable and hygienic home atmosphere. In fact, several roofing companies in this state claim that South Dakota property owners are famous for the phrase “must last between 30 to 50 years.” Generally, asphalt shingles tend to be the most popular as they tick all the right boxes, from weather resistance to cost efficiency, to durability. Other commonly used materials include metal, concrete, tile, slate and cedar. In recent years, thermoplastic, PVC and stone coating have all become popular.
