As an Ohio resident, you’re no stranger to the challenges that storms can bring—be it heavy rain, high winds, or hail. While many focus on securing windows and stocking up on emergency supplies, it’s crucial to also pay attention to an often-overlooked part of your property: your roof.
At AM Roofing and Siding LLC, we’ve been serving the Columbus, Lancaster, and Zanesville areas for years, and we’ve seen firsthand the types of damage that Ohio weather can inflict on roofs. Whether you’re a homeowner, a business owner, or a property manager, knowing how storms can affect your roof can save you time, money, and a lot of stress.
After a storm, it’s important to look for:
- Missing, curled, or torn shingles
- Dented or punctured shingles
- Damaged soffit or fascia
- Debris accumulation on the roof or in gutters
- Water stains or leaks in your attic or ceiling
Now that you know what to look for after a storm, here’s what you should do after a storm:
1. Inspection
A thorough inspection is crucial after any storm. If you’re comfortable doing it yourself, ensure that you’re taking appropriate safety measures. However, for a detailed assessment, it’s best to consult professionals like AM Roofing and Siding LLC at (740) 974-8268
2. Documentation
Take pictures and make notes of all visible damage. This will be helpful for both repair estimates and insurance claims.
3. Repair
Depending on the extent of the damage, you may need anything from minor repairs to a full roof replacement. At AM Roofing and Siding LLC, we provide a range of services tailored to fit your needs and budget.
4. File Insurance Claims
Your documentation will be essential here. Most homeowner insurance policies cover storm damage, so be sure to contact your insurance company promptly.
