Roofing Contractor in Palmetto.

Does your Palmetto roof have wind-lifted shingles, hail bruising, or seal strips that have failed from years of sun exposure?

Palmetto homes see a mix of straight-line wind and hail come through most storm seasons, and each leaves a different mark. Wind lifts, creases, or tears shingles and ridge caps loose, often starting at an edge or a vent before it spreads. Hail bruises the mat underneath the shingle and knocks granules loose in a way you usually can't spot from the ground. Add in years of direct sun breaking down seal strips on an aging roof, and that's the combination behind most of the Palmetto calls we take.

The weather Palmetto roofs deal with

The National Weather Service office that forecasts for this stretch of Georgia, based in Peachtree City, records an average of 19 days of damaging wind a year across the region, with July the busiest month. It notes straight-line winds inside a thunderstorm can exceed 100 mph, capable of damage that looks a lot like a tornado came through.

Large hail averages about 7 days a year across north and central Georgia, peaking in April, and a storm is officially classed as severe once it produces gusts over 57 mph or hail at least an inch across. Across the region, that adds up to 45 to 55 thunderstorm days a year, which is a lot of repeated exposure for a Palmetto roof over its lifetime.

Coweta County, not far from Palmetto, has already experienced the extreme end of this risk. An EF-4 tornado with winds up to 170 mph tracked about 39 miles through Heard, Coweta, and Fayette counties on the night of March 25 into 26, 2021, stripping roofs off homes along its path, one of only ten EF-4 tornadoes recorded in Georgia in seven decades.

Georgia's Office of Commissioner of Insurance notes that wind damage is normally covered under a standard homeowner's policy, and that after hail hits, the homeowner is responsible for protecting the roof from further damage until an adjuster can assess it, so keep any receipts from interim work. Because Georgia doesn't license roofers at the state level, per the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, Palmetto homeowners need to check a contractor's insurance and track record on their own before hiring.
