Hurricane Season Is Less Than 100 Days Away – Is Your Roof Ready?

Florida’s hurricane season officially begins on June 1st, which means time is running out to ensure your home is ready for potential storms. While many homeowners focus on stocking up on supplies, one of the most critical aspects of storm preparation is your roof—your home’s first line of defense against heavy winds, rain, and flying debris.

Why Your Roof Matters During Hurricane Season

Hurricane-force winds can range from 74 mph (Category 1) to over 157 mph (Category 5), putting massive pressure on your roof. If your roofing system isn’t in top shape, it can lead to leaks, structural damage, or even total roof failure.

Here are some key roofing facts to consider as we approach storm season:

✅ Older Roofs Are More Vulnerable – Roofs over 10-15 years old are more likely to have weakened shingles, deteriorated flashing, and worn seals, making them more prone to storm damage.

✅ Loose Shingles & Weak Fasteners Are a Major Risk – Even a few loose shingles can allow wind to lift entire sections of your roof. Properly nailed and sealed shingles can significantly improve wind resistance.
