With spring having sprung, while you might not want to think about hurricane season, it pays to be as prepared as possible when it comes to your roof. In fact, now is as good a time as any to get your roof hurricane ready, as even outside of hurricane season here in Florida, storms and high winds can wreak havoc on our homes and communities. With hurricane proofing popular here in Florida, it can also pay to schedule your roof assessment and repairs (or replacement if necessary) ahead of the crowds, or you could find that your favorite, trusted roofing company are unavailable due to high demand.
So, what can you do to get your Florida roof hurricane ready? Let’s take a look: Firstly, check your insurance coverage for both your home and property With the potential to be incredibly destructive, hurricane season can make the need for adequate insurance coverage, a pressing one, and you’d be strongly advised to check your level of coverage well in advance of hurricane season. Failure to do so could see you having to pay out thousands of dollars in costly repairs, or even risk losing your home.
Keep up with payments and renewals, and check what your hurricane deductible amounts to. Should the number be too high, it might be wise to change it or at the very least, keep in mind what sort of costs you could end up facing. Secondly, have a closer look at your roof and ceilings With no need to be climbing ladders and clambering around on your roof, you can simply walk around your home and scrutinize the ceilings for any signs of water damage, which could indicate a leak. Even the smallest of leaks should be repaired at the earliest, irrespective of the season.
Walk around the perimeter of your home, too, and look at your roof in as much detail as is possible from the ground. Keep an eye out for missing or torn shingles, uplifted areas, debris on the roof and any trees that have branches brushing the roof. If so, these should be trimmed as during a storm or hurricane, they could cause serious damage to your roof.
Lastly, call in the professionals It’s always a good idea to have your roof inspected by a team of roofing professionals, even if you don’t spot any issues or suspect that there might be an issue. Inspections can highlight any number of existing, or potential problems that if left untreated, could end up costing you more money, or even causing more harm during hurricane season. Hopefully, their inspection will turn up nothing, and you may be able to trim trees and clean gutters yourself in preparation for hurricane season. However, should their inspection highlight any issues at all, you’d be wise to have them repaired as soon as possible.
As hurricane season approaches, remember that many roofing companies will be inundated with calls to inspect roofs and make them hurricane ready.
