STORM DAMAGE CAN PUT A BIG DENT IN THE HOME PURCHASE OR SALE EXPERIENCE.
With unsettled weather comes hail and high winds, and with severe weather roof damage often follows. During a busy home selling season, buyers and sellers can bypass headaches by paying extra attention to the weather prior to closing. This way an otherwise smooth transaction will not end up wrecked as a result of hail/wind damage.
There are several options for handling roof damage during a sale of a home.
The deal is not dead, side stepped maybe. But not dead…
Call a professional roofing contractor, and make sure they are used to handling quick repairs. Even better is one that know the closing process and can ensure that everything is addressed prior to the closing.

Is your Roof Ready for Fall & Winter? 🤞🏼 🤞🏼 🤞🏼
The key to making sure your roof is ready for the winter months is maintenance and repair. Being proactive can mean the difference between having a small repair vs. a full tear off and replacement.
Whether you have a commercial property for your business, or a home for your family, if there's any question about the condition of your roof, an inspection should be performed before the next winter storm. The roofer should be inspecting:
✔️ Material Condition
✔️ Gutter Function
✔️ Chimney Flashings
✔️ Flashings
✔️ Valleys
Spring and summer are harsh on the roofing system so have it checked out before old man winter makes it worse....
How High Winds Damage Your Roof
You are probably wondering how high winds cause damage to your roof.
High winds tend to hit the edges and the corners of the roof harder. Shingled roofs are more susceptible to wind damage.
Depending on the strength of the high wind, nails holding the shingles come loose, leaving the shingles curled up and even ripping some of them off.
High winds have a can also carry debris which hit against the shingles on the roof, some of which remain there and accumulate over time. One ripped shingle could cause damage to other areas of the property, causing expensive repairs.
Things to look for if you suspect wind damage from recent storms; missing shingles, raised shingles, blow off sections of roofing material, tree debris on the roof and sudden water spots on the ceiling.
Remember to call a professional as climbing on roofs can be tricky.

#1 Reason Your Roof Might Leak in Winter
Ice Dams 🥶
First, what is an ice dam? The term refers to a solid block of ice that has obstructed your roof and therefore prevented water from running off of it – just as a dam stops water in nature.
Dams may have formed on your home’s roof because of snow that initially melted and then re- froze. The result is a dam that causes water to gather and sit, eventually backing up under the shingles and causing a leak. Stop ice dams from happening by making sure the warmth of your attic is properly sealed off so snow doesn't melt and refreeze.
