Our team is here to serve you and support you through every tropical storm. Give us a call and we’ll be here to answer all your questions so that you can feel confident in your roof, even during a storm.

Torn or lost shingles

Although not as strong as a hurricane, tropical storms can still cause a lot of major damage to your roof. Their high winds can cause pressure on your shingles, causing them to uplift and tear away, or even break apart. Additionally, flashing and gutters can be torn away from your roof.

Fallen trees and powerlines

High winds from tropical storms can easily knock down tree limbs and powerlines. If any of those things fall on your roof, they can create punctures and holes through your roof that will then leak, causing major water leaks.

Clogged or damaged gutters

Gutters are an important part of your roof system that helps to navigate water away from your roof. The winds from tropical storms can easily clog your gutter system with twigs, leaves, and other types of debris.

It doesn’t take a major storm to negatively impact your roof. Even if your home looks fine from the outside, we always recommend calling a professional roofer for an annual review of your roof. At Bergens Roofing, we perform thorough evaluations of our customers’ roofs and can help you document any storm damage we find.
