When it comes to Storm Damage, basic upkeep goes a long way

Replace Missing or damaged Shingles 

If a shingle is damaged, it’s more likely to break free. If it’s missing, well then you’ve got a gap for wind to get under and do even more damage.

Note that when you’re installing or replacing shingles, they must be nailed properly — NOT above the nail line.

In terms of how roofing materials – shingles vs. metal – hold up to hail, it doesn’t really matter. After a hailstorm, our crews will end up replacing just as many shingle roofs as metal ones.

Repair Loose Siding

The same rules as roofing apply to siding: it’s important to ensure your siding isn’t damaged.
