Hurricane Preparedness

The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November. Property owners in Southwest Florida, Georgia and coastal North Carolina face months of hurricane and tropical storm activity. 

Ridge Valley Exteriors protects your assets through pre-storm roof assessments and rapid post-storm response, including roof repair and replacement services.

Hurricane Preparedness

3 Steps to Prepare Your Roof for Hurricane Season

Your roof protects your most valuable assets from wind and water intrusion. Taking action now can help reduce the risk of costly storm-related damage:

  1. Monitor weather forecasts: Track National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) updates and National Weather Service alerts through NOAA Weather Radio or mobile apps.
  2. Schedule professional inspection: Our crews identify lifted shingles, compromised flashing and opportunities to improve wind mitigation and hurricane hardening before hurricane season arrives.
  3. Clear exterior hazards: Remove overhanging branches, clean gutters and secure loose materials that can become dangerous during storms.

Build Your Storm Preparedness Kit

Emergency supplies keep your family safe during power outages and evacuation scenarios. Stock your home before storm season begins:

  • Water and food: Keep one gallon of water per person daily, plus non-perishable items.
  • Communication tools: Get a battery-powered radio, flashlights, extra batteries and charged portable phone chargers.
  • Essential documents: Store insurance policies, roof warranties and identification in waterproof containers.

  • Medical supplies: Secure a first-aid kit and a seven-day supply of prescription medications.

In addition to this kit, prepare an evacuation plan with your household and determine safe evacuation routes. Choose a meeting point in case you get separated, and share your plan with family members and friends.

Follow the instructions and guidance provided by local authorities when an evacuation is advised.

Frequently Asked Questions

Coastal property owners often ask these questions about protecting their investments from hurricane threats.

Check your property from the ground for signs of roof damage, including missing shingles or water intrusion. Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. A professional inspection can identify hurricane roof damage and determine whether roof replacement, emergency roof repair or tarping may be needed.

Not all storm damage is visible from the ground. Missing shingles, damaged flashing, ceiling stains, water intrusion and fallen debris can all indicate hurricane roof damage. A professional storm damage roof inspection can help identify issues before they worsen.

This depends on your roof’s condition after a storm and the extent of the damage. A professional inspection is crucial to assess the hurricane’s impacts and determine whether repair or full replacement is needed.
