Halloween is almost here and if you love scary stories, we have a doozy for you! It includes hail, wind, and costly roof damage. The horror! Spoiler – a roof and a wind storm do not mix well!
Do you know what’s even scarier? Most damage cannot be seen from the ground level of your home. That means if your home was hit by severe weather this year it could come back to haunt you. If that doesn’t make you sweat, we don’t know what will.
If you want to know how much damage your roof sustained this hail season, keep reading! We put together this 2020 severe weather recap for homeowners to know if they should get a roof inspection. In addition, the size of hail our area received in May will surprise you!
