5 Steps to Preparing Your Roof for Hurricane Season

Hurricane season is here. If you live in Atlanta or own a business here, you know how unpredictable this season can be. When hurricanes hit, our city can be significantly impacted by intense wind and rain. In these situations, your roof is your first line of defense  for your home or business. At United Contracting & Roofing, we want to help you be prepared. Our top five steps to preparing your roof for hurricane season will help ensure that your roof can withstand hurricane season.

1. Schedule a Complimentary Roof Inspection

Before hurricane season hits, get a professional to inspect your roof. At United Contracting & Roofing, we offer complimentary inspections. Our experts will check for any weak spots that a storm could exploit. We look for loose shingles, damaged flashing, and other potential issues. Early detection means you can fix problems before they become costly repairs.

2. Reinforce and Repair Your Roof

Once the inspection is done, take action on any recommendations. Reinforce areas that are prone to damage. Secure loose shingles, fix leaks, and ensure flashing is intact. Small repairs now can save you from big headaches later!

3. Trim Nearby Trees

Trees are beautiful and offer many benefits to your property, but they can pose a serious danger during a hurricane. Trim any branches that hang over your roof. High winds can cause branches to break and crash onto your roof. Conduct preventative, regular maintenance of your trees to avoid this damage.

4. Clean Your Gutters and Downspouts

Clogged gutters can cause water to back up and damage your roof. Before hurricane season hits, make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris. This ensures proper water flow away from your roof and foundation. Regular cleaning can prevent water damage during heavy rains and storms.

5. Prepare for Insurance Claims

Despite taking every precaution, damage can still occur. If you need emergency repairs, our team can be on site within 24 to assess the situation and stabilize the situation. United Contracting & Roofing can assist you with the insurance claims process. We’ll help document the damage and work with your insurance company to get your repairs covered.
