Preparation begins in calmer weather.

Well before a storm.

Arrange a condition assessment, address known leaks, and have drainage and nearby tree hazards evaluated by suitable professionals. Keep roof documents and photographs with your household emergency plan. No material makes a home hurricane-proof.

• Photograph accessible exterior conditions from the ground
• Keep proposals, repair records, and policy documents accessible
• Plan safe evacuation and emergency supplies

When a storm is approaching.

Follow official local guidance and finish ground-level preparations early. Secure loose outdoor items when safe. Avoid roof access, ladder work, and last-minute tree work as weather deteriorates. Roofing is only one part of the home’s exterior protection.

After the all-clear.

Watch for electrical and structural hazards. Document visible damage from safe positions and arrange a qualified assessment. A roofing condition visit is different from a formal wind mitigation inspection; ask which service you need.
