What steps can I take to prevent roof damage during hurricane season?
To prevent roof damage during hurricane season, it’s essential to take proactive measures such as:
- Ensuring proper roof maintenance, including regular inspections and repairs.
- Securing loose shingles, flashing, and gutters to prevent them from becoming projectiles during high winds.
- Trim nearby trees and branches to reduce the risk of debris hitting the roof.
- Installing hurricane straps or clips to reinforce the roof’s connection to the structure.
- Consider impact-resistant roofing materials for added protection against strong winds and flying debris.
These precautions can help minimize the risk of roof damage and ensure the safety of your home during hurricane season.
