Preparing Your Roof for Spring in Atlanta

How to Protect Your Roof from Storm Damage

As spring approaches in Atlanta, GA, so does the promise of rejuvenation and growth. However, with the change in seasons comes the inevitable arrival of spring storms. Atlanta, known for its humid subtropical climate, experiences its fair share of rainfall and severe weather changes, making it essential for home and business owners alike to prepare their roofs adequately.

As a local, premier roofing company, we understand the importance of safeguarding your home against the elements. If you have any specific questions for our team after reading our Spring Roof Maintenance Tips, contact us for a free inspection and we will make sure you’re ready for the weather!

Understanding Atlanta's Climate

Atlanta experiences a moderate climate with hot, humid summers and mild winters. However, spring brings about an increase in rainfall and a higher likelihood of severe weather events such as thunderstorms, high winds, and even tornadoes. The average annual rainfall in Atlanta is around 50 inches, with the spring months typically seeing a significant portion of this precipitation.

Preventing Damage and Spring Maintenance Tips

Inspection & Maintenance- Before the onset of spring storms, schedule a professional inspection of your roof. Our team can identify any concerns, including loose or missing shingles, damaged flashing, or clogged gutters. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent them from worsening during heavy rainfall or high winds.

Reinforcement- You may want to consider reinforcing your roof if you live in an area prone to severe weather. This could involve installing hurricane straps or clips to strengthen the connection between your roof and the walls of your home, making it more resistant to strong winds.

Tree Maintenance- Overhanging branches can pose a serious threat to your roof during storms. Trim any branches that overhang your roof to prevent them from causing damage if they break off during high winds, and be sure to remove dead branches from trees across your property.

Our team at United Contracting & Roofing can assess your roof and advise you on improvements and repairs as part of our complimentary inspection. If you haven’t had your roof inspected in a year or more, feel free to give us a call and schedule a visit from one of our professional roofing inspectors.

What To Do After a Storm

Assess the damage. It’s crucial to document any damage promptly after a storm to prevent further deterioration and protect the interior of your home or business. Take note of the location and type of damage, including any leaks or structural issues.
Make prompt repairs. In emergencies, our dedicated team can be at your home within 24 hours to assess the damage thoroughly and provide timely repairs. We understand the urgency of restoring the integrity of your roof to safeguard your property against future storms and potential water damage.
Get insurance assistance. Dealing with insurance claims can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Our experienced team will assist you every step of the way, from documenting the damage to meeting with your insurance adjuster and completing all necessary paperwork. We’ll ensure that you receive the coverage you deserve without the hassle and stress.

Your safety and the integrity of your roof are our top priorities.
