Conduct thorough roof inspections before and after significant weather events, particularly in regions prone to severe hurricanes and storms. Documentation is key—both before and after the storm. This documentation is especially crucial when navigating insurance claims, helping to distinguish between preexisting conditions and storm-induced roof damage. 

Maintaining a consistent record of routine inspections is vital. Identifying and addressing issues, along with proper documentation, significantly strengthens your position when filing an insurance claim. 

Performing inspections before and after a storm provides valuable documentation of your roof’s condition, facilitating an accurate assessment of any damage incurred during the weather event.
