Reduce Hail Damage

If you haven’t taken a look at your roof in a while, now’s the time. Spring often means storms and occasional severe weather that can include high winds and hail. Roof repairs today can help you avoid extensive, time-consuming cleanup later.

• Repair or replace worn, curled or missing shingles.
• If your roof is aging, consider replacing it before hail season begins.

During a Hailstorm

Protect Yourself and Your Car
In severe storms, a hail stone can be as big as a softball and fall at 50 to 100 miles per hour.

• Stay indoors.
• Stay away from skylights and glass doors to avoid broken glass.
• If it is safe, close drapes, blinds or shades to prevent debris from blowing inside.
• If you can, park your car in the garage or other covered area.
