Weather can take a toll on the exterior of your home, especially on your roof. Do you remember the last time you had your house professionally inspected for any storm damage? If you don’t remember, we’re here to tell you it’s time!
Performing topical repairs can save you an exponential amount of money on bigger replacements. Here’s how you can protect your home now after experiencing summer storm damage.
How to Protect Your Roof after Storm Damage
- Contact Your Local, Trusted Home Improvement Contractor – Scheduling an on-site consultation, which often includes a free roofing estimate is a must. At Brandywine Exteriors, we can guide you through the process and make sure you get the best solution for your home.
- Contact your Homeowner Insurance Company – Homeowner’s insurance typically helps cover the storm damage including water and ice damage, lightning strikes, power surges, wind, hail, and fallen trees. If you need help figuring out how to deal with the homeowner insurance company, give us a call!
- Check for Missing Shingles – If you want to check your home for any damage yourself, first check for any missing shingles. If you find any, schedule the necessary repairs as soon as possible! Putting it off can end up costing you a lot more if you allow more water penetration into your house.
- Clean or Replace Your Gutters – Did you know that the clogged gutters can cause a major damage to your house? When not properly maintained, they can redirect water toward the roof, siding or your foundation!
