Roof replacement concerns in hurricane-prone states

By Dani Sheehan. 

Whether you’re preparing for this year’s hurricane season, or it’s just time for a new roof, consider state-specific factors and get a fast and free roof replacement estimate in seconds. 

Hurricane season in the Atlantic runs from June 1 to November 30. According to the NOAA National Weather Service forecasters, this year will see above-normal activity due to warmer ocean temperatures and it’s important to be prepared should your home be affected. Will your roof withstand high winds and heavy rains in the event of a storm? With three tropical cyclones already named since the start of June, Beryl was the first major hurricane to hit the United States, coming ashore as a Category 1 hurricane with winds over 80 miles per hour. More than three million homes lost power, trees were uprooted and cars were left stranded on flooded roadways. While Beryl devastated the Carribean and parts of Mexico as a much stronger Category 5, there is already spreading concern about the intensity of these storms in August and September, which tend to be prime hurricane season in the United States. 

Texas remains the second U.S. state to be hit by hurricanes most often, following Florida, which has sustained almost twice as many hurricanes. North Carolina, Louisiana and South Carolina round out the top five. Other southern states, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi follow close behind, with New York and Massachusetts surprisingly falling in the top ten.  

If you live in one of these states, it’s never too early or too late to start preparing for hurricane season. One of the most important measures you can take is to reinforce your roof and ensure your home will be protected if disaster hits.
