High Windstorm Damage

April showers bring May flowers, but they also bring one of the most unexpected and destructive weather threats—high winds. After a rough spring storm season, your roof could be at serious risk. Strong windstorms can worsen existing roof damage, loosen shingles, and create vulnerabilities that lead to costly repairs.

If your roof is older or has already endured multiple storms, one strong wind event could be the final straw. Even minor damage, like small cracks or missing shingles, can escalate quickly, putting your home at risk for leaks and structural issues.

How Windstorms Can Damage Your Roof

1. Uneven Impact on the Roof

Unlike rain or snow, high winds don’t hit your roof uniformly. Instead, they target the edges and weakest areas—lifting loose shingles, damaging flashing, and creating gaps where water can seep in.

2. Poorly Installed or Low-Quality Materials Are at Risk

If your roof wasn’t installed correctly, it’s more vulnerable to wind damage. Improperly placed nails, loosely secured shingles, or low-quality materials can fail under pressure. At Ideal Precision Roofing, we ensure that every roof is installed with top-quality materials and expert craftsmanship so you never have to worry.

3. Trees and Debris Pose a Serious Hazard

High winds don’t just affect your roof directly—they also send tree limbs and debris flying, which can cause punctures, cracks, and structural damage. If you have overhanging branches near your home, it’s crucial to trim them before a storm hits.

Signs Your Roof May Have Wind Damage

After a windstorm, check for these warning signs:
Loose or missing shingles
Peeling or curling shingles
Granule loss (bald spots on shingles)
Damaged soffit or fascia
Chimney flashing separation
Leaks inside your home

If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait until the damage worsens—act now to protect your home.
