Craftsman Exterior Remodeling has released a resource, “How Wind Damage Affects Your Roof and Why Regular Inspections Matter,” to help homeowners recognize when it’s time to call a roofing contractor and schedule a professional roof inspection.
How Wind Damage Signals It’s Time to Call a Roofing Contractor
In the article, Craftsman Exterior Remodeling explains that wind damage is often subtle and easy to miss from the ground. Older three-tab shingle roofs are especially vulnerable to lifted, curled, flapping, or missing shingles after a storm. Debris and falling tree limbs can puncture roofing materials, while damaged gutters, moisture in the attic, and ceiling stains inside the home are all signs that a roofing contractor should inspect the roof for hidden problems.
The resource walks homeowners through practical steps after a storm: documenting visible issues with photos, contacting a local roofing contractor for a detailed inspection, and working with insurance when a claim is needed. By acting quickly, homeowners can prevent minor wind damage from turning into significant water intrusion and structural concerns.
Why Regular Roof Inspections Protect Your Home
Craftsman Exterior Remodeling emphasizes that routine inspections—at least once a year and after major storms—are one of the best ways to extend a roof’s lifespan. While homeowners can scan their roof with binoculars from the ground, a professional roofing contractor can safely access the roof, identify small issues such as loose shingles or minor leaks, and recommend timely repairs.
The article notes that proactive maintenance helps homeowners save money, reduce stress, and keep their roofing system performing as intended. Regular inspections also create helpful documentation for future insurance claims and give homeowners clarity about whether repair or replacement is the best long-term solution.
