Get your roof ready before hurricane season

By the Ortiz Roofing team · Updated 2026-11-10

Quick answer: Before hurricane season, get a roof check, fix loose shingles or tiles, reseal flashing and vent boots, clean gutters, trim branches over the roof, and photograph your roof so you have a before picture for any claim.

Book a check in spring

Small problems are cheap now and expensive after a storm.

Take before photos

If you ever need to make a claim, before-and-after photos help a lot.

Clear the area

Trim branches and secure anything that could fly.

  • Trim overhanging limbs
  • Clean gutters
  • Tie down loose items

FAQ

When does hurricane season start?

Can you inspect before the season?

Yes, spring is the best time to book.
