The most effective solution is a combination of proper gutter sizing, strategic downspout placement, and regular maintenance. For Hawthorne homes, we often recommend installing larger, seamless gutters and adding downspout extensions to direct water further from your foundation. Annual cleaning, especially in late fall, is crucial to prevent clogs from leaves and debris common in our area, which are a primary cause of overflow and subsequent roof and siding damage.

After high winds, safely check for missing, cracked, or lifted shingles—especially at the roof's edges and ridges. Look for granules in your gutters, which indicate wear. Also, inspect for any loose or damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights, as these are common failure points. Inside your attic, check for daylight coming through the roof boards or any signs of moisture. If you see any of these issues, it's best to have a professional assessment quickly to prevent leaks.

This depends on the extent, age, and type of damage. Isolated damage, like a few missing shingles after a wind event, typically requires a repair. However, if your roof is near the end of its lifespan (20+ years for asphalt shingles) or if the storm caused widespread lifting, curling, or granule loss, a replacement may be more cost-effective for long-term protection. We provide a thorough, no-obligation inspection to assess the damage's scope and recommend the most practical and durable solution for your Hawthorne home.
