Hurricanes can cause significant damage to commercial properties, leading to prolonged closures and financial loss. Below is our comprehensive guide to safeguarding your business from the impact of a hurricane.

Comprehensive Roof Inspection

• Importance of Regular Inspections: Routine roof inspections are crucial, especially before hurricane season. Our seasoned professionals at Native Roofing meticulously and comprehensively examine every aspect of your roof to identify vulnerabilities. This thorough approach ensures that even minor issues are caught early, preventing significant damage during a storm.
• What We Look For
• Loose or Missing Shingles: Even a few damaged shingles can lead to significant leaks.
• Weak Flashing: Properly sealed flashing is essential to prevent water penetration.
• Structural Integrity: Ensuring the underlying structure is sound helps the roof withstand high winds and heavy rain.
• Debris and Blockages: Clearing gutters and drains prevents water buildup and potential roof collapse.

Strengthening Your Roof

• Upgrading to Hurricane-Resistant Materials: Investing in hurricane-resistant materials can significantly enhance your roof’s durability. We recommend:
• Metal Roofing: Known for its longevity and wind resistance.
• Impact-Resistant Shingles: Designed to withstand hail and flying debris.
• Concrete Tiles: Extremely durable and less likely to be blown away.

Securing Loose Items

• Loose objects on your roof can become dangerous projectiles during a hurricane. Our team ensures that all equipment, antennas, and other items are securely fastened.

Emergency Preparedness Plan

• Creating a Response Plan: Having a detailed emergency plan is vital. This should include:
• Evacuation Routes: Marked and accessible paths for safe evacuation.
• Communication Protocols: Ensuring all employees know how to stay in contact.
• Supply Kits: Stocking essential items such as first aid, flashlights, and non-perishable food.

Post-Storm Procedures

• After the storm passes, quick action is crucial. Our post-storm services include:
• Immediate Damage Assessment: Identifying and addressing damage promptly to prevent further issues.
• Temporary Repairs: Implementing quick fixes to secure the property until permanent repairs can be made.
• Insurance Claims Assistance: Helping you navigate the claims process for a smoother recovery.

Collaboration with Local Authorities

• We work closely with local authorities to stay updated on the latest safety protocols and regulations. This collaboration ensures that our practices are aligned with current standards, providing our clients with the best possible protection.
