Why a Roof Assessment Is Essential This Hurricane Season
Summit Roofing
When a hurricane threatens your area, your roof stands between your loved ones and potential disaster. A professional roof assessment is crucial before storms strike — and Summit Roofing in Wilmington, NC is here to make sure you’re ready.
What's Involved in a Roof Assessment?
Think of a roof assessment as a check-up for your home. Our team reviews a checklist of items to identify weaknesses before they become emergencies. At Summit Roofing, our assessments include:
- Inspecting for missing, damaged, or loose shingles
- Inspecting the condition of metal or other roofing material
- Checking for signs of leaks or water damage in the attic or roof deck
- Evaluating flashing, vents, seals, and structural weak points
- Reviewing gutters and drainage systems to guard against overflow
Why It Matters
Hurricanes bring unpredictable wind and rain. Things like a loose shingle or weakened flashing can lead to devastating leaks or structural damage during high winds. Getting an inspection now can offer several benefits:
- Peace of Mind - Sleep easier knowing your roof can take on the next storm.
- Cost Savings - Fix small issues before they become insurance claims.
- Insurance Support - A documented inspection can strengthen storm-related claims later.
Additionally, procedures like those endorsed by IBHS’s FORTIFIED® Roof upgrades go beyond minimum code and bolster your home’s ability to resist severe weather. There are also incentives including potential insurance discounts and other benefits for homeowners in North Carolina.
