After the Storm: Smart Roof Protection for Greensboro Homeowners
Calm steps. Clear understanding. Confident decisions.
After a major storm in the Greensboro and Piedmont Triad area, the best homeowners don’t rush — they **protect first, document carefully, and then evaluate options with clarity**. This guide explains exactly how to do that.
Step One: Protect Your Home & Family
Safety comes first. Stay off the roof, even if damage appears minor. Wet shingles, hidden soft decking, and loose flashing create unnecessary risk.
- Protect interior areas with buckets or coverings if needed
- Move valuables away from any active leaks
- Visually check gutters, siding, and yard for storm indicators
Most Greensboro roof issues after storms develop gradually — smart documentation today supports better options tomorrow.
Step Two: Capture Clear Roof Documentation
Good documentation supports informed decisions. Photos taken close to the storm event provide valuable reference points later.
- Shingles on the ground or in gutters
- Dented vents, flashing, or metal components
- Ceiling stains or attic moisture
- Fallen branches or debris near rooflines
