Storm Damage Prevention Tips
As experts in roofing, we understand the critical importance of maintaining your home's first line of defense. Here are some effective preventative measures to minimize severe weather roofing damage:
- Inspect your roof regularly for loose, cracked, or missing shingles.
- Ensure gutters and downspouts are clear of debris to prevent water overflow.
- Trim nearby trees to prevent branches from falling onto your roof during high winds.
- Install or check existing storm shutters or protective coverings on windows and skylights.
