Plan inspections before storms are named
Contractors get busy before and after major storms. Early inspection planning is easier than trying to solve everything during active weather.
Do not call any roof hurricane-proof
Ask about storm readiness, maintenance, permits, and approved products, but avoid claims that any roof is hurricane-proof.
Homeowner checklist
- Check visible roof materials, gutters, valleys, and drainage from the ground
- Schedule inspections before storms are active when possible
- Save photos and contractor contact options before hurricane season
Questions to ask
- What visible issues should be handled before storms?
