Roof Readiness: Your First Line of Defense

Your roof acts as the frontline defense against harsh weather. An undetected fissure or a loose shingle can lead to significant damage during a storm. For homeowners and business owners alike, a yearly inspection is a must. It’s an investment that preserves the integrity of your property and protects it against future storms.

  • Regular Inspections: As the seasons change, so should your approach to roof care. Begin each season with a thorough inspection. Look for cracked or missing shingles, clear out debris, and inspect for signs of wear or damage.

  • Material Matters: In Columbus, materials need to be chosen not only for their aesthetic appeal but for their durability and resistance to the elements. Opt for materials that are known for their longevity and ability to withstand high winds, hail, and heavy rain.

  • Professional Help: Sometimes, a keen eye from a professional is necessary. Services like those offered by Reliant Exteriors are invaluable. They bring expertise and insight, ensuring that your roof is in top condition and ready to take on Columbus’s unpredictable weather.

Siding and Windows: More Than Just Aesthetics

While often considered for their visual appeal, siding and windows are integral to a building’s weather resistance. Ensure that they are not only pleasing to the eye but also securely sealed and free from damage. Regular maintenance and strategic material choice can fortify your property’s defenses.

Gutters: Your First Line of Defense Against Water Damage

Functioning gutters are vital, especially in a storm-prone area like Columbus. They direct rainwater away, protecting your home from the potential for water damage. Both residential and commercial properties require clear and well-maintained drainage systems to stand up to Ohio’s heavy downpours.

Emergency Readiness: Staying One Step Ahead

Having an emergency plan in place, complete with essential supplies and information sources, can significantly improve your readiness for sudden severe weather events.

Immediate Post-Storm Assessments: A Critical Step

When the storm subsides, the clock starts ticking. Damage needs to be identified, documented, and addressed swiftly to prevent further issues and comply with insurance claim deadlines. Reliant Exteriors specializes in rapid response, ensuring that both commercial and residential properties are quickly and thoroughly assessed.
