Was your roof impacted by the recent weather? These are the 7 Do's & Don'ts after a storm:
✅ After the storm has passed, and it is safe to do so, walk around your home inspecting the exterior. Take photos of any damage you see, including missing shingles. Best Choice Roofing can provide you with a detailed roof health report that includes photo and video documentation for your insurance.
✅ Inspect your attic and ceiling for any signs of leaks or holes. High winds and hail can unseal or damage your shingles, causing penetrations in your roofing system that lead to leaks.
✅ Prevent further damage. If shingles have been damaged, blown off, or underlayment is exposed, an emergency tarp may be necessary. In many instances, this is covered by insurance to help prevent additional damage to your property.
✅ Notify your homeowner's insurance provider. After a storm, adjusters can become overwhelmed with claims and requests. Timely notification will ensure your home gets the attention it deserves.
✅ Contact a local roofing contractor experienced in weather damage restoration and roofing. Best Choice Roofing has helped over 60,000+ homeowners restore their homes after weather events.
🛑 Be wary of storm chasers. After a storm, many out-of-town companies will swoop in, overwhelming the community. Be careful of these "tail light warranties" where these contractors will be gone when a new storm hits another city. A reputable local roofing contractor will provide free inspections. Best Choice Roofing is proud to serve our community and has all the proper licensing and insurance.
🛑 Leave the roof inspection to a professional. While it is important to document any damage to your home after a storm, climbing on your roof can be dangerous if you are not experienced. Allow a professional roofer to help you with that, such as Best Choice Roofing.
