Before hurricane season
Inspect before June 1
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Have lifted, loose or missing shingles fixed before it starts.
Check flashing and pipe boots
Wind-driven rain finds weak flashing and cracked pipe boots first.
Clear gutters and trim trees
Overhanging limbs are a common cause of roof punctures in high winds.
Photograph your roof
Dated photos of the undamaged roof make an insurance claim easier later.
After the storm passes
Stay off the roof
Inspect from the ground. Wet, damaged roofs are dangerous.
Prevent further damage
A tarp over openings limits interior damage. Keep the receipts — most policies expect reasonable steps to prevent further damage.
Document and report
Photograph the damage and report it to your insurer promptly.
Vet storm contractors
After big storms, out-of-area crews arrive. Check licensing, insurance and local references before you sign anything.
Wind-resistant roofing options
When you replace, ask about shingles with high wind ratings (ASTM D7158 Class H or ASTM D3161 Class F), enhanced nailing patterns and a sealed roof deck. The IBHS FORTIFIED Roof standard packages these upgrades together.
Wilson, Elm City and Rocky Mount
