Summer in Northeast Ohio brings severe weather that can damage your roofing, siding, and gutters in minutes. At Total Exterior Systems, we help Wadsworth, Brunswick, Medina, and surrounding community homeowners prepare for destructive summer storms.
Why Summer Storms Are Particularly Damaging
Summer storms strike fast with hailstones, high winds, and heavy rainfall. Hail can dent metal roofing and crack asphalt shingles, winds can lift shingles and damage siding, while torrential rain overwhelms gutters and reveals water management weaknesses.
Pre-Storm Inspection Checklist
Your Roof
Inspect your asphalt shingle roof or metal roofing for:
- Missing or loose shingles
- Damaged flashing around chimneys and vents
- Granule loss in gutters
- Sagging areas
Storm damage often compounds existing problems, turning minor repairs into major roof replacement projects.
Siding and Gutters
Check your siding for loose panels, cracks, or damaged caulking. Inspect your Rainman Gutters for clogs, loose brackets, and poor drainage that could fail during heavy storms.
Post-Storm Action Plan
- Safety First: Wait for safe conditions before inspecting
- Document Everything: Take photos for insurance
- Call for Emergency Services: Contact Total Exterior Systems at 330-283-8398 for emergency tarping if needed
- Schedule Professional Inspection: Hidden damage isn’t always visible from the ground
Why Professional Inspections Matter
Storm damage isn’t always obvious. Hail damage to shingles might not create visible holes but can compromise protective granules, leading to premature aging and leaks. At Total Exterior Systems, we provide free estimates and work directly with insurance companies for storm damage repairs.
