Hurricane season runs from June through November, and the roofs that fail in a storm usually had a weak spot long before the wind picked up. Lifted shingles, cracked pipe boots, and loose flashing are small problems in April and big ones in September.
Start from the ground. Look for shingles that are missing, curled, or a different color from their neighbors, and check that gutters are clear so water can drain instead of backing up under the roof edge. Trim branches that hang over the roof; they turn into battering rams in high wind.
Then look inside. A flashlight in the attic after a heavy rain will show water stains, damp insulation, or daylight around vents. Those are the leaks that grow in a storm.
If anything looks off, book an inspection before the season peaks. And if a storm does damage your roof, take photos right away and call us. We document the damage so your insurance claim has what the adjuster needs.
