Ohio Storms: Why Your Roof Needs Extra Protection 

Ohio weather is unpredictable – hail in the summer, heavy wind in the fall, blizzards in the winter.  Each season can put stress on your roof, and preparing ahead can prevent costly repairs later.

Types of Storm Damage to Watch For 

1. High Winds

• Can tear shingles off the roof

• May lift shingles enough to break the seal and allow water in the home

2. Hail

• Can create dents, cracks, or bruising in shingles

• Weakens the shingle’s surface, making it more vulnerable to leaks

3. Heavy Snow & Ice

• Add significant weight to your roof

• Can create ice dams that push water underneath shingles

Preventative Steps to Reduce Storm Damage

Proper maintenance before storm season can save homeowners thousands in repairs.

• Keep gutters clear to ensure proper drainage during rain and snowmelt

• Trim overhanging tree branches to prevent damage from falling limbs

• Schedule a pre-storm roof inspection to identify weak points or aging shingles

What to Do After a Storm Hits 

Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, it is possible that hidden damage may be present. That is why it is important to get an inspection on your roof. 

Skyview Roofing will check for:

• Water spots or moisture in your attic

• Loose or missing shingles

• Dented gutters or flashing

• Debris buildup in valleys or on shingles

Timely reporting is important- insurance companies often require damage to be documented quickly.
