Charleston's hurricane season runs from June through November, and preparation is the key to protecting your home. A well-maintained roof is your first line of defense against severe weather.
Pre-Season Inspection
Schedule a professional roof inspection before hurricane season begins. Our team checks for loose or damaged shingles, compromised flashing, and any weak points that could fail under high winds.
Secure Loose Materials
Loose shingles, ridge caps, and flashing are the first things to fail in high winds. Having these secured before a storm is far less expensive than emergency repairs afterward.
Clean Your Gutters
Clogged gutters during a heavy storm can cause water to back up under your roofline, leading to leaks and water damage. Ensure gutters are clear and downspouts are directing water away from your foundation.
Trim Overhanging Branches
Live oaks and palmetto trees are beautiful, but overhanging branches become projectiles in hurricane-force winds. Trim any branches within 10 feet of your roof.
Know Your Insurance Coverage
Review your homeowners insurance policy before storm season. Understand your deductible (many coastal SC policies have separate wind/hail deductibles) and document your roof's current condition with photos.
Have an Emergency Plan
Keep our number — (843) 306-2939 — saved in your phone. We offer 24/7 emergency response and can have a crew on-site quickly for emergency tarping after a storm passes.
