Storm Damage Prevention: Home Projects to Focus On

Avoiding storm damage at all costs is the mark of a responsible homeowner. Even if you have insurance, dealing with disruptive repairs is not something any homeowner wants to deal with.

Storm Damage Prevention: Home Projects to Focus On

To give your home the best defense against nature’s worst, Colonial Remodeling LLC recommends these projects:

Roof Maintenance

Having your roofing system, including your gutters, routinely inspected by professionals is an effective way to reduce  storm damage repair needs. The older your roof is, the more often it should be inspected. You may not notice obvious leakage, but surprise water intrusion could happen when you failed to spot a roof problem early enough.

In addition to preventing storm damage, proactive maintenance is key to roof longevity. By and large, regularly inspected systems outlive improperly maintained ones.

Window Replacement

This home remodeling project improves more than just your property’s aesthetics. Modern windows contribute to your home’s complete thermal enclosure system. They help keep the elements out, especially water. With proper installation, expect your new windows to be weathertight and stay draft-free for decades.

Siding Upgrade

Worn-out siding is an invitation for storm damage. Imagine the horror of wind-driven rain having no trouble infiltrating your exterior walls. Leaks may not develop right away, but aging siding will become vulnerable to the effects of moisture over time.

To keep your water, wind, and hail damage repair costs to a minimum, James Hardie® fiber cement siding is your safest bet for replacement. Unlike most other siding products, it’s strong enough to hold out against high-velocity hail and windblown debris. Plus, it’s impervious to moisture and fire.
