Roof Wind Damage
High winds, not just those associated with major storms, can pose a significant threat to your roof's integrity. Wind damage is one of the most prevalent roofing issues we encounter, and it can often coincide with tree branch damage or water infiltration to create a compounding effect.
Unfortunately, wind damage can be subtle in its presentation. Homeowners may not be aware of a problem until more serious consequences arise. At Douglas Construction, our team of experienced roofing professionals recommends a thorough inspection following periods of high winds to ensure your roof remains in optimal condition.
