For the northeast, August brings the peak of hurricane season. As Tropical Storm Isais showed us last week, whether you live near the beach or further inland, our region can be hit hard when storms make landfall. Knowing how you can prepare and protect your property is key for each homeowner before the next big storm arrives. Here are our tips for evaluating your home’s hurricane preparedness.
With less than 15 days until Spring arrives, you might be doing the happy dance that your roof has made it another winter. But don’t put on those dancing shoes just yet! March is known to be an unpredictable month in the tri-state area, where temperatures yo-yo and big storms can do significant damage.
Due to warmer temperatures in March, snow is often heavier and more dense. This results in significant tree damage, downed power lines, and often, roof and home damage. If we do escape without snow, we’ll still likely have to contend with the heavy winds and increased rainfall that come throughout March and April.
If your roof hasn’t been professionally checked in the last year, it’s time to take advantage of the warmer temperatures and get a professional inspection. Investing in an inspection now can greatly reduce the chances (and cost!) of storm and wind damage later. The Weather-Tite Roofing team provides comprehensive roofing inspections to help homeowners ensure their roof is in the best shape possible. Contact us today to schedule your roof inspection.
We’ve been lucky to make it this far into winter without a major snow storm, but that doesn’t mean we’re in the clear just yet. As we get later into the season, winter storms can bring even more damage due to the abundance of ice and heavy, wet snow caused by air temperatures near the Earth’s surface.
Determining the age and health of the roof is essential before you purchase your new home. If the roof is approaching the end of it’s viability, your realtor may suggest requesting a warranty or a new roof installation prior to purchase. Here are five things we recommend looking for when you are evaluating a home.
Storms can bring high winds, heavy downpours, and snow. No matter how well you maintain your roof there may be a time when storm damage impacts your home. It’s important to follow steps to help reduce damage and protect your home as quickly as possible. These tips will help you manage storm damage to your roof until a professional can arrive.
Homeowners often ask us what signs to look for when inspecting their roof. While we believe that a roof consultation is the best way to protect your home, we understand that some homeowners want to take the first step to identify if they need to contact a professional. If you see any of these 8 signs of roof damage on your home, it’s time to call a professional roofing contractor you can trust.
