If you own a home in Bridgeport, Texas, or surrounding areas, you are used to the long and dreaded hail season. It creeps up on us in March and can last until August. During these unpredictable months, we highly recommend having your roof in immaculate condition. You don’t want to deal with ice blocks when your roof already has holes or is beginning to sag. Snow Roofing & Exteriors can inspect your roof and catch any issues before they become expensive and extensive roofing projects. Our roofing contractors have over 20 years of experience in the industry and have seen all kinds of roofing problems. We always provide a solution, and we’re readily available.
Are You Ready for the Hail Season?
Although the hail season lasts many months, you never know when the next hail storm is going to hit. With that said, you should always be prepared for it. One of the best ways to protect your home and your family is by investing in a roof that’s in good condition. The first step is getting a professional roof inspection. Expert roofers know what to look out for and can catch problems that average homeowners wouldn’t pay attention to. At Snow Roofing & Exteriors, our roofers will catch issues and prevent them from becoming serious problems.
You should clean out your gutters to allow the heavy rain to drain properly during the storm. Our roofers can replace your missing shingles and fix your damaged flashing to keep hail from causing further damages. If there are any other roof issues, we will take care of it.
Common Signs of Hail Damage
Here are a couple of indicators that your home’s roof has undergone hail damage. If you notice any of these signs, get in touch with Snow Roofing & Exteriors right away.
Loose granules
Roofing granules fall off in large amounts during hail storms. Make sure to check your gutters. Granules accumulate inside your gutters and will block the flow of water. Mold and mildew will grow if it isn’t taken care of. In addition, if shingle areas are exposed to the black substrate, that means that the asphalt granules have been broken off or altered.
Dented Shingles
If your shingles have dents or bruises, and if there’s no pattern to which shingles were damaged, you are most likely dealing with hail damage. Some dents aren’t apparent, so run your finger across the shingles. If you feel a small dip, you are dealing with a dent.
Lifted and Fractured Shingles
If your roof was hit with large hail, the shingles might have circular fractures and tears. The force of the ice can cause the shingles to lift too. When one shingle is weak, the other shingles are jeopardized. They can get blown off or leak, which leaves you and your belongings vulnerable to the elements.
