Storm Season is Coming: How to Protect Your Roof Before and After a Storm

Is your roof ready for the DFW storm season? High winds, hail, and heavy rain can wreak havoc on your home, but taking the right precautions before and after a storm can save you thousands in repairs.

At Salazar Roofing & Remodeling, we’ve seen firsthand how storms can cause hidden damage that homeowners don’t notice until it’s too late. Here’s how you can protect your home and ensure your roof stays in top shape.

"Before the Storm: Prevent Costly Damage"

- Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection – Small issues like loose shingles or weak spots can turn into major leaks after a storm. A pre-storm inspection ensures your roof is ready to withstand the elements.

- Clean Your Gutters & Downspouts – Clogged gutters can cause water to back up under your roof, leading to water damage and leaks. Keep them clear to allow proper drainage.

- Trim Overhanging Tree Branches – Strong winds can break tree limbs, sending them crashing into your roof. Trimming back trees reduces the risk of serious damage.

- Secure Outdoor Items – Patio furniture, grills, and decorations can become airborne in high winds, causing damage to your roof and home.

"After the Storm: Take These Steps ASAP"

- Inspect Your Roof from the Ground – Look for missing shingles, debris, or sagging areas. Even if everything looks fine, damage isn’t always visible from below.

- Document Any Damage – Take photos and videos of your roof and exterior. If you need to file an insurance claim, this will be valuable evidence.

- Schedule a Free Post-Storm Inspection – Hidden damage can weaken your roof over time. With Salazar Roofing’s Integrity Shield Program, you get unlimited free inspections after major storms—so you’re never left guessing.

- Act Fast with Insurance Claims – Most insurance policies have a time limit for reporting storm damage. We can help guide you through the process to make sure you get the coverage you deserve.
