IS YOUR ATLANTA HOMES ROOF READY FOR THE HURRICANE SEASON?

It is that time of year again where Atlanta residents must ensure their roof is in good condition prior to the rain storms caused by the remnants of hurricanes that pound the coasts of FL, GA, and AL! Many residents of the Atlanta are need a consultation from a qualified and professional Atlanta Roofer to ensure that their family will be safe from the terrential downpours, and violent hail that usually invades the Atlanta Area late August through the end of the year. How can you know if your roof needs repairs? Here are some general tips - if you spot these - call an Atlanta Roofer:
Curled up Shingles
Worn Off Granules
Loose or missing Shingles
Cracked Shingles

Green or Bleack Streaks
Age of the roof - over 15 years old
Sometimes homeowners are weary about hopping on the roof themselves to gain a closer look at potential issues that could lead to leaks, tears, etc. in their roof, and catastrophic damage during the next major storm. For those customers that do not feel comfortable, or simply do not have the time to hop on their roof, there are local companies that will offer free roof inspections to residents of Atlanta. Atlanta Professional Roofers offers same day service as well as free estimates and free roof inspection!

Leaks
Poor workmanship

Storm / weather damage
What is important to know is that most roof failure, from leaks to cave ins can be prevented by ongoing maintenance provided by a local Atlanta Roofer on a bi-annual basis. Many of us dont think about the elements our roofs have to face on a daily basis, however think of the intense rain, hail, wind, sun in Atlanta! Daily exposure to the elements can take its toll - in order to prolong the life of your roof, make sure you have it inspected regularly and save money in the long run!
