How To Prepare Your Roof For Hurricane Season

Choosing a material that can stand up to hurricanes for your roof and getting the material installed correctly is essential for having a roof that gives you the protection you need during the hurricane season, but you will also need to put in some maintenance work to ensure roof strength. Here are some things that you should do:



-        Get your roof checked by a TAG (http://www.tagroof.com/) roofing professional – the professional that you hire for the job will check every inch of your roof and will identify any fault, even the tiniest crack or dent, that can be aggravated by the next storm. Your TAG roofer will also recommend you the best repair solutions for the issues found and will do the repairs for you, too;

-        Regular cleaning – the high winds associated with hurricanes carry lots of debris that get dropped on roofs, therefore it is a good idea to inspect and to clean your roof after each major storm, to ensure that the roof is healthy and strong enough to stand up the next storm. Do the same on your gutters and downspouts as well – proper drainage is essential during the hurricane season;

-        Trim your trees – the large limbs of the trees that surround your building can be ripped off by strong storms and dropped onto your roof, causing severe roof damage. Prevent that by regularly inspecting and trimming your trees.
