Preparing for Hurricane Milton: Protect Your Home and Stay Safe
As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida’s west coast, residents all across the state are bracing for what could be a significant storm. While the hurricane is making landfall on the west coast, Central Florida is expected to experience severe weather, including heavy rains, high winds, and possible flooding. This storm could have a serious impact on homes throughout the region, and now is the time to make sure you are prepared and taking all necessary precautions.
At Certified Best Roofing & Exteriors, we want to remind all homeowners to prioritize safety during this storm and be mindful of the potential damage that could occur to your property. With years of experience helping residents in Oviedo, Winter Springs, Winter Park, Sanford, and surrounding Central Florida areas, we’re here to assist you before, during, and after the storm.
Stay Safe During Hurricane Milton
First and foremost, the safety of you and your family is the most important consideration during Hurricane Milton. It’s essential to follow the advice and warnings from local authorities and emergency services. If you’re advised to evacuate, make sure to do so immediately. If you’re planning to stay at home, ensure that your home is properly secured, and you have emergency supplies ready, including food, water, flashlights, batteries, and a first-aid kit.
While protecting your home from storm damage is important, remember that safety always comes first. One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make during hurricanes is trying to do emergency repairs while the storm is still happening. It can be tempting to get on the roof or try to tarp areas of your home to prevent damage, but this is extremely dangerous and should never be attempted.
Do Not Tarp Your Roof During the Storm
Trying to tarp your roof or make any kind of repairs while the hurricane is still going on can put you in serious danger. High winds, rain, and flying debris make working on the roof incredibly hazardous. A wet roof is slippery, and strong gusts of wind can make it difficult to maintain balance. The last thing you want is to put yourself in harm’s way during the storm.
Instead, call a professional roofing company that specializes in emergency tarping services. At Certified Best Roofing & Contstruction, we have the right tools, safety equipment, and experience to properly tarp your roof once the storm has passed. Our team can quickly and safely secure your home to prevent further water intrusion or damage.
What to Do After the Storm
After Hurricane Milton has passed, it’s crucial to assess your home for any damage. Strong winds and heavy rains can take a toll on your roof, siding, windows, and other parts of your home’s exterior. Even if you don’t notice any immediate problems, it’s a good idea to have your roof and home inspected by a professional.
If your home has sustained any damage, whether it’s missing shingles, leaks, broken windows, or damaged siding, don’t wait to get it repaired. Leaving damage untreated can lead to even bigger problems down the road, including mold growth, structural issues, and increased energy bills due to poor insulation.
