Your roof been damaged in a recent storm? Don't wait – Ohio Exterior is ready to help

Loose shingles or clogged gutters due to roof granules are a sign that your roof may have suffered storm damage. Heavy storm can cause havoc on your roof by causing it to expand and contract which can loosen shingles and subject your roof to even more damage. Ohio Exteriors has trained inspectors that will inspect your roof and let you know whether your roof has suffered roof damage or not.

If you believe your roof has been suffered roof damage, look for the following signs:

• Damaged Gutters – Be sure to check that your gutters are properly secured after a heavy storm as they may have been detached.
• Loose Shingles – Shingles can loosen if the storm has significant winds associated, if you see loose shingles on your roof be sure to get them fixed. If you loosen shingles are not repaired you run the risk of allowing water into your home.
• Bald Spots – Strong hail can damage the shingles by causing bald spots. These spots are created as the hail wears down the shingles, if not properly tended to these shingles have a reduced lifespan.
• Damaged Siding – Siding can become loose or even break off during severe weather. Be sure to inspect your home for any damaged siding in order to prevent further damage.
• Dented Shingles - Dented shingles can be viewed as minor storm damage but these types of minor damage can lead to major problems or shorten lifespan down the road.
• Clogged Gutters – Clogged gutters can be a telltale sign that you may have roof damage or excessive roof wear due to storm damage. It is always prudent to inspect your home for excessive shingle granule buildup in your gutters or downspout.

It is often forgotten that storm damage can affect all parts of your home, not just the roof. It is important to inspect your home for any type of damage and have it repaired as soon as possible in order to avoid further problems.
