When the storm clears, homeowners should gauge the aftermath and swiftly address roof issues
Foster City, CA – November 24, 2020 – Modernize.com, a leader in the home improvement and home services industry, highlights three causes of roof-related storm damage and instructs homeowners on how to determine whether or not repairs are necessary. Here’s what to look for, depending upon the storm:
- Hail. Problems caused by hail can be detected easily because there are dents in the roof or tears on shingles.
- Wind. High winds during a storm can remove or crack shingles, leaving the roof exposed to the elements.
- Water. Although harm from water may not be as obvious, some signs include curled or missing shingles, discoloration on ceilings, or peeling of walls.
“Hurricanes, blizzards, ice storms, and even heavy rain can cause roof damage,” said Gregg Hicks, vice president of Modernize.com. “Undetected and untreated roof damage can cause long-term, structural issues. After a storm, an experienced roofing contractor can help assess and repair your roof to prevent further harm.”
Please see the full guide: After the Storm: Detect and Repair Roof Damage. The report includes information on the steps homeowners should take to detect roof problems, choose a roofing contractor, and work with an insurance adjuster.
Hicks is available to answer questions about roof repair and offer guidance on hiring a skilled contractor.
