Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. In Georgia, extreme heat, hurricanes, and heavy rainstorms can take a toll on your roof integrity. Understanding how extreme weather affects your roof can help you take steps to prevent costly damage. At Dr. Roof, we specialize in keeping roofs in Atlanta and the surrounding metro area, strong, no matter what Mother Nature brings.
Common Weather Challenges for Your Roof
Whether you’ve lived in Georgia your entire life or are new to the neighborhood, every homeowner shares the same concerns about extreme weather. Here are some common issues that can impact your roof:
Heat and Sun: Intense UV rays can weaken shingles, causing cracks and warping.
Hurricanes and High Winds: Strong winds and flying debris from hurricanes can loosen or blow off shingles, leaving your roof vulnerable.
Rain and Moisture: Persistent rain can lead to leaks, mold, and rot.
Hail: Hailstones can cause dents, cracks, and holes in roofing materials.
Regular maintenance can help you address these challenges before they worsen. As a certified GAF roofing contractor, we use top-of-the-line products to ensure your roof is durable and long-lasting.
