• Mother Nature is a force to be reckoned with, and
  rarely does she show any consideration for homes
  and properties when wreaking havoc in the form of
  hurricanes, tornadoes and floods. In knowing
  this, its important that we ensure our buildings
  are well built and secure, so that we can protect
  our homes, and ourselves, from her ravages.
• Often, when a storm strikes, rooves are the first
  part of buildings to suffer and when a roof goes,
  it isnt long before the rest of the building
  follows. All it takes is a couple of worn or
  broken shingles, and your home could be damaged
  beyond repair during a storm. Here are a few
  simple maintenance tips for your roof that could
  save you a lot of expense in the future

• The minute even one shingle becomes worn or
  damaged, get it repaired as soon as possible.
• If youre experiencing a leak anywhere in your
  roof, while it may be the result of a broken
  shingle in need of repair, it could be coming
  form your roofs foundation, so get a
  professional to look at it and check it over
  before the problem gets worse. It may be that
  some parts of the roof are rotting, and this can
  cause huge problems if left untreated.
• When having a roof repaired or installed, be sure
  to check that your roofing professional is
  covered by liability insurance. If they have this
  coverage, then you can usually assume that
  theyre reliable, and if something were to get
  damaged while your roof was being worked on,
  their insurance would cover the costs.

• When choosing a roofer to fix your roof or
  install a new one, seek recommendations from
  friends and family.
• Do not attempt to fix any part of your roof
  during wet or windy weather, and unless youre an
  experienced roofer yourself, you should leave all
  repairs to a professional.
• After a storm or high winds, have a cursory look
  at your roof and if you suspect any part of it
  has been damaged, call a roofer to come and
  inspect it as soon as possible. If the storm was
  particularly fierce, it might be worth having it
  assessed by a professional anyway.

• Damage to your roof can often be prevented by
  keeping gutters clean, as these are a common
  cause of leaks.
• The most important thing to keep in mind when
  thinking about maintaining your roof, is that all
  problems, no matter how small or insignificant
  they may seem, should be repaired the minute they
  are spotted. This will undoubtedly save you money
  further down the line, and help to keep your home
  protected in the event of storms and other
  harmful weather conditions.
