Even though we've had really mild weather lately, you know that big snowstorm is coming. And if a major storm doesn't hit this season, there's always spring and its hail and heavy rain storms.  Storms are a reality in Minnesota, and storms mean damage, especially to roofs.  In a recent article we discussed some basics of roofing damage from storms. (If you haven't read it yet, click here.)

When a storm comes through the Twin Cities, there are many things to watch out for. Being able to identify the damage is a great thing that you want to make use of. Hiring a company to come in and take a look is a great thing to think about. You can have them give an assessment of the roof and then do the repairs that are necessary before a problem happens because another storm came through and the original damage wasn’t taken care of right away.

You’ve likely read the first part of this where a few of the things were spoken of, but you should also make sure to keep your eyes peeled for these signs of damage, as well.
