If your home was affected by the spring storms, send me a message to schedule a roof inspection.

When most people think about their roof, they think about shingles. What many homeowners overlook is ventilation.

Proper attic ventilation helps your roofing system manage heat and moisture throughout the year. During an Ozarks summer, poor ventilation can contribute to higher attic temperatures, increased strain on your roof, and even higher energy costs.

If your home seems harder to keep cool during the summer months, your attic ventilation may be worth a closer look.

A lot of Missouri homeowners don't realize how much their deductible has changed until they need to file a claim.

Many insurance companies have moved to percentage-based wind and hail deductibles, which can leave homeowners responsible for much more out of pocket than they expected after a storm.

If your roof was impacted by the severe weather we've seen across the Ozarks this year, it's worth taking a few minutes to review your policy and understand your coverage before another storm rolls through.

If you have questions about storm damage or want to know whether your roof may have been affected, give me a call today.
