The roof of a house plays an important role in protecting its interior. Despite this, severe weather conditions such as hail storms can cause substantial damage to the roof. During a hail storm, the shingles on the roof can become cracked, which can result in water damage that seeps into other areas of the home such as walls and flooring. This can lead to costly repairs, making it important to prepare for such an event.

To minimize the damage during a hail storm, it is important to have a clean sheet of plywood or a two-by-four handy. By placing this over the area of the roof where shingles are missing, the debris can be prevented from entering the walls of the home, as well as the gutters and drains. This will save money in the long run by reducing the need for extensive home repairs.

If you are considering a new roof, it is important to consider the type of shingles being used. Some shingles are stronger and better equipped to withstand the elements, so be sure to opt for the best option for your home. If you have a tight budget, flatter shingles are a cost-effective alternative to more pointed types.

If your roof has suffered water damage, it can be repaired by removing the gutters and cleaning out any sludge that has accumulated. Make sure to remove everything from both gutters on the roof, or consult a professional if you are unsure. Roof repairs can be dangerous, so it is important to only work with a reputable contractor who is licensed and insured. Have a friend or family member inspect the job to ensure the work is completed to the highest standard.
