What Makes a Home “Fortified”

As the local Wilmington, North Carolina area has seen recently, hurricane and strong storms can cause significant damage to homes and buildings. One of the most vulnerable parts of a structure is the roof, which is often the first point of contact for high winds, falling debris, and other hazards.

Fortunately, there are steps homeowners can take to fortify their roofs to better withstand these types of weather events. Some common methods of fortification include:

By fortifying their roofs, homeowners can take proactive steps to protect their property and their families in the event of a hurricane. It’s important to consider hiring a professional roofing company to assess the condition of your roof and the fortification that is required and necessary. The team at Atlantic Roofing Company can assess the condition of your roof based on a number of factors and determine which tactics would best suit your need. We can consult with you and
your insurance company to find out what repairs or if replacement is an option for your home under your current policy.

It’s also important to note that fortification measures may not protect your roof completely and will depend on the strength of the hurricane or storm and outlying weather conditions. It’s always
best to have a hurricane plan in place and to consider purchasing flood and wind insurance to protect your property and your financial well-being in case of a storm. Our goal at Atlantic Roofing Company is to make sure our customers, their family and their homes are shielded from storm at all times.
