Woodlands Tx Roofing Company – We all look forward to the summer season and enjoy our weekends with our family. Spend time by the pool with our loved ones or go on vacation. But summer season does bring some additional baggage along with it.
Although we cannot do anything to prevent a storm. But can definitely get precautionary measures to help reduce the damages. In continuation of this, Discount Roofing your Woodlands Tx Roofing Company would like to share few tips. We want to ensure your life is less stressful and your family well being.
Check Your Attic:
Attic pays a crucial role to determine the longevity of your home. Check your attic to ensure there is no sign of any leaks or seepage. Especially in the area where the roofline or the roof direction changes. Inspect near the vent openings. If you find one get that repaired at your earliest convenience before things get worse.
Inspect and Clean Your Gutters:
Walk around your property and inspect any loose or clogged gutters. In case of a loose gutter, we recommend call a professional roofing expert and get it fixed. And for clogged gutters purchase a gutter cleaner or use a leaf blower or a hose to clear the clogged area. You can also opt for professional assistance from a roofing expert in your area.
Look For Loose Tiles and Shingles
A good condition roof has a much better chance to withstand the torture inflicted upon by storms. According to a roofing industry study, roofs that are maintained regularly last 50% to 70% longer than those without proper supervision or maintenance.
By delaying or ignoring to fix loose tiles or shingles you risk your property and your loved ones. This may become a hurdle while claiming your home insurance. Hence do have a visual inspection done and if needed call Discount Roofing for a Free Roof Inspection.
Lookout For Rust, Wear and Tear
Before the storm hit, always look out for rust, exposed nails, wear and tear, worn pipe boots. To ensure the condition of your roof, as these are the general sign of the roof wearing out.
Snip Your Trees
Trees provide many benefits such as shade, reduced utility costs, and improved water and air quality. But after a storm, we often take an emotional decision to cut down the trees. Pruning of trees is highly recommended to avoid any damage to your house. Pruning significantly reduces the chance of damage to your home in a storm. This cut down wind resistance and damaging the tree. Ensure you snip out the branches that are close to your house.
Think about Installing Hurricane Straps
It’s hard to protect your home from a monster hurricane. But many readily available products available in the market can minimize the damage. Which in turn saves your hard-earned money in repairs and insurance premium. It’s advisable to install Hurricane Straps on your roof. Hurricane straps, clips and anchor belts help keep your roof from blowing off in high winds. It’s a small metal bracket that you nail to the boards that join the roof to the walls of your house. This alone might save your roof.
Keep important contact information handy
Keep a list of emergency telephone numbers handy. We all have cell phones today and it’s easy to keep in touch with our family and friends. Being able to contact friends and family to let them know you’re safe is well worth keeping one of these working around. Put together an emergency kit as recommended by the Federal Emergency Management Agency well in advance of any storm.
Finally, Woodlands Tx Roofing Company, we would like you to ensure that windows, doors and garage doors are secure in the event of high-speed winds. You can at least have a piece of mind knowing that we are here to answer your call 24 x 7. We ensure that Woodlands TX homeowners get right back after any storm to enjoy their weekends!
One roof is not like another. Having a QUALITY minded and reputable company install your roof can mean more than the quality of product installed where longevity is concerned. Many of the roofs that we replace in a normal year are due to poor installation of the prior roofing contractor. Choose a local company that you can trust. Ask for references of prior jobs completed in your area and remember that a warranty is only as good as the company that backs it up. Hope everyone is having a terrific Summer. ~ERIC~
