Roof failure is one of the most significant threats to residential property, with industry data confirming that roof-related damage accounts for 70-90% of total insured residential catastrophic losses annually. Despite this risk, many homeowners misinterpret roof warranties that reference lifetime or 30-year limits, and neglect to maintain this critical protective system.
Why Your Roof Matters During Storm Season
The roof is a home’s first line of defense against wind, rain, and hail. When it’s in good shape, it helps keep water out and reduces the risk of widespread interior damage. But loose shingles, worn flashing, or deferred maintenance can allow water intrusion during a storm, potentially leading to more extensive damage.
As hurricane season approaches, we want to remind you to clean your gutters, review emergency plans, check the condition of your roof, and have a way to secure outdoor furniture in the event of a severe storm warning.
