You can't stop a hurricane, but you can avoid some of the damage. Here's the quick walk-around we tell our own customers to do:
🏠 Look at your roof from the ground. Check for lifted or missing shingles, exposed nails, and damaged flashing. Don't climb up there.
🌳 Trim or flag limbs hanging over the roof. Falling limbs cause plenty of storm damage.
🧹 Clear gutters and downspouts so water can drain.
🪑 Secure or bring in loose items like patio furniture, grills, and trash cans. They become projectiles in high wind.
📸 Take "before" photos of your roof and house from every side. If you file a claim, documentation of the pre-storm condition helps.
🔧 Know who you'll call afterward. A licensed roofer with a real local address beats a stranger who shows up after the storm.
Stay safe, Gulf Coast. Check on your neighbors. When it's over, we're here.
