How Severe Winds Can Affect Philadelphia Roofs?

Wind damage is one of the most common forms of roof damage. It usually occurs during storms or strong gusts of wind. In some cases, it may be paired with water damage or tree damage. If you live in Philadelphia and you’ve recently experienced strong winds at your home, it’s vital to ensure your roof has not been damaged.

If you don’t have experience in the construction or roofing industry, it can be hard to spot and solve this type of issue. At Home Genius Exteriors, our roofing experts in Philadelphia can help resolve wind damage-related issues.

Consequences of Wind Damage

While wind damage can impact the appearance of your home, there are more severe, often unseen consequences that must be considered. An unaware homeowner may end up delaying critical roof repair that can result in a series of problems. So, why is it so crucial to tackle wind damage as quickly as possible?

Leaks

If wind damage causes gaps or holes in your roofing, it can easily result in leaking issues. When water enters your home, mold and mildew may begin to grow. Additionally, water can quickly begin to cause rot in exposed wood. It may also warp other vital components of your house, which can result in lasting structural damage. This results in damages far exceeding the cost of a roof repair.

Weakened Shingles

In the case of shingles, extreme winds can cause a loss of granules, which exposes the coating to external elements, thereby catalysing the roof’s aging. In severe cases, roofs could suffer cracked or entirely missing shingles, putting your roof in a vulnerable position. This is why it should be repaired by roofing experts as soon as possible, to save the homeowner in the long run.

UV Exposure

You may not realize it, but UV rays can damage specific components of your roof. UV exposure can easily damage some of the materials underneath traditional roofing. This damage can drastically reduce the lifespan of your current roofing, resulting in a costly roofing replacement in the future.

“Home Genius Exteriors replaced my entire roof and they were absolutely amazing. They were professional, did quality work, and had great customer service. We had missing shingles and Home Genius was able to complete our roof in less than a week from the estimate! Melissa did the estimate and was very knowledgeable and helped us make the best decision for our home. Casey was the project manager and she communicated all the information we needed, was on top of everything with the project, and was even helping clean up after the work was complete to make sure the yard was safe for my kids. Would definitely recommend Home Genius 10/10 they went the extra mile!”

“I replaced the roof and gutter, not my first time on the project. It's my first time working with Home Genius. I'm glad I chose this company. The crew that represent the company ( Buddy, Alex, Tim, Pablo, and the crew) are the greatest persons I've met. Very professional, pleasant, respectful, and they show up on time, they all take their time to explain all my questions/concerns and show me every step of the project. I am grateful to be served by these wonderful people and company.”

“I’m very impressed with Home Genius Exteriors. From the sales opportunity, to ordering, and finally execution everything was smooth sailing. Rob, who sold us our roof, was educated on the product and process. He answered all my detailed questions with patience. A special comment must be left for our Project Manager, Mike, who went above and beyond in every way. He was always available, answers all our questions, thoroughly reviewed the work was done, and even let us know that he is available after the project with any questions. You can tell he truly takes pride in his work. I have worked with others, and so has my family, and I’ll tell you right now we’re sticking with Home Genius Exteriors for all future projects due to Mike’s customer service. Highly recommended company to work with! Our roof is gorgeous.”
