When Thornton customers need you: the seasons

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Fordyce, 6.1 miles away, put the July average high at 91°F and the January average low at 31°F. Rain adds up to about 58 inches a year, falling on about 74 days with a tenth of an inch or more. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 64 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 70 days. Wet seasons mean roof leaks and water damage, and the searches come in the same hour the water does. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, state it clearly and keep the contact form short.
