Prepare for bad weather

Shingle repair in Charlotte, NC
Shingles and how to look after them

Munich Reinsurance America, a major reinsurance corporation (that is, an insurance company that insures other insurance companies) found in a 2014 survey that 63 percent of Americans had either fortified their homes against severe storms or planened to do so in the future. This is a wise precaution in the Charlotte and Concord, NC area.

You should focus on keeping your roof in good repair, especially if you have a shingle roof. According to Angie’s List, roof maintenance becomes more important when your house is in its second decade of use. This means checking your shingles for blistering, buckling or curling. When you check your roof gutters, look for shingle granules, a sign of wear and tear. Shingles are small and relatively easy to replace, but they are more easily damaged or knocked loose than other forms of roofing, resulting in holes that need to be fixed as soon as possible. Your local residential roofer can give you tips on how to prepare your roof for bad weather.
