With almost two months of hurricane season already behind us and the most active months still to come, now is the time to get ahead, not caught off guard. The earlier you prepare, the better protected your home, your investment, and your family will be when storms strike.
What You Can Do Now
Take these proactive steps to strengthen your home before the next storm:
- Inspect Your Roof & Gutters: Look for loose or missing shingles and clear out debris from gutters to allow proper drainage.
- Trim Trees & Overhanging Limbs: Cut back branches near your home to prevent them from falling during high winds.
- Secure Outdoor Items: If a storm is approaching, tie down or store patio furniture, grills, planters, and decor that could become projectiles.
- Check Windows, Doors & Seals: Look for gaps, cracks, or weak points that could allow water or wind inside.
-
- Debris Removal – Clearing leaves, branches, and dirt that can trap moisture and cause deterioration
- Sealing Penetrations – Tightening and resealing around vents, chimneys, and skylights to prevent leaks
- Shingle Inspection – Identifying loose, cracked, or missing shingles before they lead to bigger issues
- Gutter and Downspout Cleaning – Ensuring water flows away from your home’s foundation
- Catch small problems early before they cause major damage
- Extend the lifespan of your roof by preventing premature wear

But even the best roof can’t do its job if it’s not maintained properly.
Just like your car needs regular tune-ups to stay reliable, your roof needs ongoing care to keep it performing at its best. Without it, small issues can quickly grow into costly repairs, or worse, a full roof replacement!
The Importance of Roof Maintenance
Over time, Louisiana’s weather puts your roof through a lot. Heavy storms can loosen shingles, debris can clog gutters, and high humidity can lead to mold or algae growth. Routine roof maintenance helps:
