Hurricane season can bring severe weather that poses a threat to your roof. In this blog post, we’ll provide tips on preparing your roof for hurricane season and how American Roofing and Renovation can help protect your home.
Preparation Tips:
- Inspect Your Roof: Check for any signs of damage or wear that need repair. Look for loose or missing shingles, cracks, and other potential issues.
- Secure Loose Items: Ensure all roof components, such as shingles and gutters, are securely fastened. Loose items can become dangerous projectiles during high winds.
- Trim Trees: Remove overhanging branches that could damage your roof during a storm. Trim trees and shrubs around your home to minimize the risk of branches falling on your roof.
- Clean Gutters: Ensure gutters are clear to prevent water backup and leaks. Proper drainage is essential during heavy rains to avoid water damage.
- Install Hurricane Straps: Reinforce your roof with hurricane straps to provide additional support during high winds.
