To keep your home safe and comfortable during a hurricane, be sure your roof is in good shape.
Pre-Storm Inspection
First, make sure that you have your roof inspected by a roofing professional. Pre-existing damage to your roof can make it more susceptible to leaks, loss of shingles, or complete failure in a hurricane or heavy storm. Having an inspection before the hurricane season starts will give you an idea of what type of work needs to be done to help you weather the storm.
Re-roofing or Roof Replacement
If your roof is due for replacement, make sure to have it done before hurricane season begins. Even if your roof doesn’t get blown away, you may experience more leaks and water damage if your weaker roof has to face wind-driven rain.
