Charlotte hail storms
Charlotte experiences its share of hailstorms, and those hail storms
are responsible for some devastating property damage. The hail storm season generally
occurs between May through October. Damages incurred to roofs during hailstorms
can be reduced with proper roof design and choosing the appropriate roofing
product selection. A properly designed roof structure can substantially reduce
hail damage. Several testing agencies have developed the following guidelines for
hail resistant roofing:
- Install shingles that are made with polymer-modified asphalt
- Reroofing over an existing roof only increases the chance for hail damage
- Roof pitches that are 6:12, can dramatically improve hail resistance
- Installing a thin, single layer of underlayment improves the hail resistance of the shingle roof
- Rigid roof decking improves the hail resistance for shingle roofs
Choosing the right contractor
Impact resistant roofing is only half of the project. Hiring a
qualified contractor is as significant as choosing the right roofing material. Look
for a Charlotte area roofing company with a long established history. Roofing,
with new materials and techniques has become a specialized field. It is in your
best interest to find the best possible contractor.
