How Post-Hurricane Season Roof Repairs Save Money Long Term

Long Term Savings with Post-Hurricane Roof Repairs

The last storm season put your roof through its paces? You may be inclined to let the repairs go, reasoning that the damage is not all that bad and your budget has been tested enough. Or perhaps you are of a mind to worry over whether a leak of some sort will become something more in time.

Charleston Lowcountry homeowners have those same qualms at Restoration Roofing once the hurricane season is behind us. We have been a family and local operation in Mount Pleasant and environs since 2019, and our line is open around the clock at (843) 940-7883. Read on if you would like to see why it is in your interest to act now for the sake of your wallet later.

Minor Damage Has a Way of Worsening

There is nothing urgent about a shingle or two gone or a gutter that is a bit loose. After a protracted storm season one can be forgiven for turning a blind eye. Yet the weather in Charleston will not coddle your roof; the heat and humidity and rain will get to that vulnerable spot and make it spread.

Leave some storm damage to its own devices and this is the result:

Water makes its way to the decking under the shingles
Insulation gets soaked by a small leak and is rendered less effective
The attic and framing are left to rot and mold from the moisture
With each rain, loose flashing admits more water
Your gutters, if clogged or in disrepair, will direct water to the foundation
What was a repair ends up being a replacement

Then again, an early intervention means a modest bill. Wait and the damage will have a greater hold on your home.

The Case for Post-Hurricane Timing

It is prudent to do roof work in the wake of the hurricane season. The worst of the storms are over so you can see what they have done to your roof and have the leisure to put in a permanent fix before the next one comes around.

You are dealing with the problem, not slapping a patch on it in a hurry when a storm is on. Proactive measures are invariably cheaper than having to make emergency repairs while water is coming into your living room.

A Repair That is Easy on the Budget

In a sense, you are incurring a minor expense to stave off several major ones. A repair done in good time will see to the systems around and below your roof which are costlier to put right.

Some of the savings to be had:

No need to replace rotting decking or framing
Insulation is preserved and energy bills stay where they should be
Ceilings, walls and floors are spared interior damage
Your roof will have a longer life
It is one less reason for a full replacement

Too often a homeowner is made to learn this. An autumn leak is disregarded and come spring there is a four figure repair to contend with inside the house. More was at risk than just the roof.

Storm Damage and Insurance

Our customers find one of the best ways to offset costs after a storm is with their insurance. Some are daunted by the claims process or are unaware of the extent of their coverage.

We will manage the claim for you from beginning to end, from the paperwork to seeing your adjuster and making sure you are settled fairly. As a contractor in the area we pride ourselves on our handling of insurance and restoration work so you do not have to do it by yourself.

Put a Better Roof on for Next Season

We install to the IBHS FORTIFIED standard and use hurricane rated methods suited to homes in these parts. When we put a roof on it is to withstand the Lowcountry elements and that is an investment you will be glad of when the wind comes up.

We make it simple. A free 21 point inspection on site is where we begin and you will have an estimate in hand. We can put you in touch with financing and take care of the installation, a magnetic nail sweep and a 30 day follow up to register your warranty with the manufacturer. We turn around estimate requests the day we get them.

Fully licensed in South Carolina (RBS 67027) and insured with liability and workers’ comp. Our staff is bilingual, se habla español.
