Hail season in Colorado, technically speaking, starts on April 15 and ends on September 15. We see these storms happen most often in June, which is also when they are typically the most destructive. That said, they can occur at any time throughout the spring and summer. If you have lived in Colorado for a while, you likely know how detrimental hail can be on any structure it comes into contact with, including your home. Read on to learn more about how you can best prepare your roof for hail season, and if you have any questions or would like a free roof inspection, contact us today!
Give It a Quick Inspection
The best thing you can do for your roof is to give it a quick inspection and take a look for any areas that might need attention. It is also important to take a look at your gutter systems and ensure that they are clean and secure so that they are able to shuttle water away from your roof during the warmer months ahead. If there are any damaged or aging spots on your roof, it is important to contact a trusted local roofing company like Columbine Roofing & Exteriors to have these problems fixed before we get into the full swing of hail season. If left untreated, hail will likely cause these problems to become worse and leave you with a much more expensive repair or replacement bill down the road.
Take a Look at the Trees Surrounding Your Home
It is also important to take a look at any trees surrounding your home and see if there are any loose or dead branches. Be sure to remove them as soon as possible, as branches can break free and damage your roof during a heavy hail storm. If there are any that you are unable to reach or seem too dangerous to take care of on your own, contact our roofing company at Columbine Roofing & Exteriors and we will happily take care of it for you.
