hurricane damage to shingles

Hurricane season starts on June 1st and lasts until November 30th. Whether you’re reading this article smack dab in the middle of the season or outside of it, it’s important to take steps to protect your roof. There are many things you can do to make sure your roof is storm ready, and we’ll discuss your roof to-do list below.

Assess Roof Condition During Hurricane Season

If you have doubts as to whether or not your roof will withstand a storm, schedule a roof inspection with a professional roofing company. You can avoid damage to the inside of your home by repairing bad sections of your roof or replacing the roof before the rainiest days of the year arrive. If your shingles are shiny, your metal roofing is rusting, or your roof looks wavy, it may be time for roof repairs or replacement.

Maintain Your Roof During Hurricane Season

At American Roofing and Sheet Metal, Inc., we have maintenance programs to give you peace of mind. We will inspect your roof annually, make suggestions, and find problem spots before they cause damage. Small roof issues that are taken care of quickly ensure they do not grow into major leaks not detected for weeks or months.

Storm-Proof Roofing Techniques

Proactive efforts are the key to minimizing the potential damage to your roof during an extreme storm. With years of support for local residents, our experts know how to help each person take the right precautions. Here are our tips for preparing your roof for the next big storm:

  • Frequent inspections – With experienced professionals inspecting your roof on a regular basis, you can catch any damage in the early stages and take the right steps to repair and fortify your roof. The better condition your roof is before the storm, the more likely it is to withstand the wrath of mother nature.
  • Reinforce your roof – If any components of your roof are rotting or malfunctioning, it’s important to reinforce your roof and remove these faulty parts.
  • Upgrade to durable materials – Selecting the right roofing materials can significantly boost your roof’s ability to survive a heavy storm. Fortunately, American Roofing & Sheet Metal, Inc., offers several top-of-the-line roof replacement options, including metal roofing, shingle roofing, clay and concrete tile roofing, and flat roofing.
  • Protect your gutters – A key component in your roof protection efforts is to minimize any potential water damage. Maintaining properly working gutters is central to this goal, so be sure to protect your gutters from blockages by inspecting and cleaning them on a regular basis.
