When storm season rolls in, your roof and siding become your home’s first line of defense. High winds, heavy rain, and hail can wreak havoc on vulnerable exteriors, leaving homeowners scrambling for costly repairs. With a little preparation and the right materials, you can storm-proof your home to weather any storm. Here’s how to get started, from our JM Roofing and Siding pros.

Prioritize Regular Maintenance

A little maintenance goes a long way in preventing storm damage. Look for loose or missing shingles, cracks in siding, or areas where water might pool and seep in. Cleaning out gutters and downspouts ensures rainwater flows away from your home, reducing the risk of roof leaks or foundation damage. You should also trim overhanging branches to reduce the chance of debris damaging your roof during high winds.

Opt for Durable Materials

Not all roofing and siding materials are created equal when it comes to withstanding severe weather. Asphalt shingles with high wind ratings can hold up better during storms, while metal roofing offers superior durability against hail. For siding, consider fiber cement, engineered wood, or impact-resistant vinyl. These materials not only look great but also provide tough protection against the elements.

Schedule Professional Inspections

Even the most vigilant DIY homeowner can miss subtle signs of wear and tear. That’s why professional inspections are key to keeping your roof and siding in storm-ready shape. Experienced contractors can spot weak points, recommend upgrades, and ensure that your home is in top condition before or after bad weather strikes. Regular inspections also give you peace of mind knowing you’ve done everything possible to protect your investment.
