Should I Check My Roof After A Major Storm?

For example damaged shingles could of flied off  or been damaged even more to the point if theres further rain in could sink into your ceiling and create a ceiling puddle. Further more if you have trees surrounding your house and branches or tree trunks fall they have the possibility of damaging your skylight. Although checking your roof after a storm can’t prevent damage, it can help you detect damage early, forgo major, costly repairs and guard against additional damage.

Should I Be Checking For Sun Damage?
