Tarp on roof

After a storm hits it is a common scene to see roofs with damage and blue tarps. 

Why are that many have asked? 

Most roofs do not get inspected on a yearly basis especially shingle roofs. Over time with weather elements, the shingles can start to lift or become brittle. So, when storms happen most properties that have not maintained the roof have damage. 

Most property owners try to prevent more damage by placing a tarp on the affected areas. The tarps can be temporary till you get help.  

How to check your roof every year prior to a storm. 

1. Check your shingles 

2. Make sure your gutters are clean to allow water to flow. 

3. Check your siding and make sure is good and no holes are present. 

4. Take photos of all the outside of your home and interior. 

5. Make sure your insurance is up to date and have a copy with you.
