Different roof materials have varying wind resistance. Some are designed to withstand moderate winds, while others are more suited for high-wind areas.
In this post, Ken Morton & Sons LLC shares tips on how to tell if your roof is wind-resistant.
Winds can blow off an entire roof, especially if it’s poorly installed or made of low-quality materials. They can push against the roofline’s edges or above the ridge, damaging the roof. Wind damage shortens the lifespan of a roof. That’s why you should immediately schedule a roof inspection following a storm.
A roof’s wind resistance depends on the following factors:
Fallen tree limbs, exposed underlayment in various areas, missing hip and ridge shingles, and missing flashing are some observable signs of wind damage. A roofer can perform an inspection and trace hidden roof damage that can cause leaks and weaken the roof if left unattended.
