Hurricane season in North Carolina peaks in September, but storms can strike anytime between June and November. In Apex, even a Category 1 system can cause roof damage, leaks, and costly repairs. Here’s how to prepare your roof before the next storm rolls in.
🔍 Pre-Storm Roof Inspection Checklist
- Look for cracked, missing, or lifted shingles
- Check flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents
- Clear gutters and downspouts to prevent overflow
- Secure loose fascia, soffits, and ridge caps
- Trim tree limbs that hang over your roof
