Tips to Ensure Your Roof’s Protection Against Wind and Hail

For most homeowners, the roofing system is not always the first thing on their minds. Certain instances, however, make them care for the entire structure, like when a tree limb hits the roof hard and cause shingles to either break or come loose. In an area where strong winds and hail storms are common, you can’t afford to leave your roof neglected and get it exposed to further damage.

In today’s blog, local GAF roofer Deschutes Roofing & Insulation shares important tips to consider to ensure the protection of your roofing system against hail and wind damage.

Trimming Tree Limbs Hanging Over the Roof

You may not be aware of it, but the tall tree besides your home could have tree limbs that extend just enough to reach the roof. It can be a hazard, especially in the event of a severe windstorm. Serious damage may occur if one of the limbs fall and hit the roof hard. To prevent this from happening, be sure to saw off the branches from the trees. Exercise safety, however—you may have to call a pro to do this.

We got in touch with Carlos on a Saturday desperate for help with our ice dams, as we had water actively running into the house. He got a crew together for us the next day.
