Hurricane Season Roof Checklist for Georgia Homeowners
Complete hurricane preparation checklist for Georgia homeowners to protect roofs and minimize storm damage.
Georgia's coastal and southern regions face hurricane threats from June through November.
## Pre-Hurricane Roof Inspection
Schedule professional inspection in early May before hurricane season begins. Identify and repair loose or damaged shingles, check flashing around chimneys and vents, ensure proper attic ventilation, and verify gutters are securely attached. Capital City Roofing offers free pre-season inspections throughout Georgia.
## Emergency Supplies and Planning
Assemble emergency tarps, roofing nails, and plywood for temporary repairs. Keep important documents including insurance policies and roof warranties in waterproof containers. Have Capital City Roofing's emergency number (470-ROOF-ATL) saved in your phone for 24/7 response.
## Post-Hurricane Assessment
After the storm passes and authorities declare the area safe, inspect for visible damage from the ground. Never walk on a potentially damaged roof. Document all damage with photos and videos. Contact your insurance company and schedule professional inspection immediately.
## Insurance Coordination
Hurricane damage is covered under most Georgia homeowners policies. Capital City Roofing coordinates with adjusters, ensuring complete damage documentation through BuilderLync technology.
