If you live in Washington, D.C. or anywhere in the DMV area, you know summer isn’t just about sunshine, it’s also about sudden, severe thunderstorms. One minute it’s 90° and sunny; the next, tree branches are flying and your power’s out.
And guess who takes the brunt of that weather every time? Your roof.
Here’s what you need to know about protecting your home during storm season—and why a professional roof inspection is one of the smartest things you can do right now.
How Summer Storms Wreak Havoc on Your Roof
Every storm leaves behind some degree of wear and tear. In particular:
- High winds lift and tear shingles
- Driving rain exposes flashing flaws
- Hail creates dents, cracks, and shingle bruising
- Debris from trees clogs gutters or damages shingles
- Trapped moisture leads to rot and mold over time
Even if it looks okay from the ground, your roof could be hiding leaks or structural weakness that will get worse over time.
Common Signs of Storm Damage
After a storm, watch for:
- Missing or curled shingles
- Granule build-up in gutters
- Damp attic or ceiling spots
- Loose flashing around chimneys and vents
- Gutter overflow or misalignment
You may also notice higher energy bills if your ventilation is affected.
Why Storm Inspections Matter (Especially for Insurance!)
Many homeowners don’t realize they’ve had roof damage until it’s too late—when the leak appears or repairs are no longer covered.

What We Check During a Post-Storm Inspection
- Shingle integrity and granule loss
- Flashing, sealants, vents, and skylight edges
- Attic ventilation and internal moisture
- Gutter drainage and downspout position
- Structural issues caused by debris or impact
