September is peak hurricane season here in Georgia, and even when a storm only brushes us as a weakened tropical system, the wind can still do real damage to your roof. The tricky part is that wind damage rarely looks dramatic. You’re looking for shingles that are lifted, curled, or missing outright, especially along the ridge line and edges where wind grabs first.

We document wind damage for insurance claims every week, and catching it early makes that whole process a lot smoother.
