Our local Centre City/Uptown team restores storm damage in Hillcrest every year. With the arrival of summer comes the increased likelihood of severe weather events, including thunderstorms and lightning, and heavy rainfall, which can cause significant damage to homes if precautions are not taken.

One of the most important steps homeowners can take to prevent damage during summer storms is to ensure that their roofs are in good condition. Loose or damaged shingles should be replaced to avoid water infiltration during heavy rainfall. Additionally, gutters and downspouts should be kept clear of debris to allow for proper drainage and reduce the risk of flooding.

Securing outdoor furniture, toys, and other loose objects can help prevent them from becoming projectiles during strong winds. This can damage homes and pose a safety hazard to occupants. Trimming trees and branches near the home can also reduce the risk of falling limbs and debris during storms.

Installing impact-resistant windows and doors can provide extra protection against wind-driven rain, hail, and flying debris. Additionally, reinforcing garage doors and installing storm shutters can help protect windows and doors from damage during severe weather events.
