For most shingle roofs, we install Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles, valued for impact resistance, durability, and energy efficiency. We also coordinate siding, windows, and gutters for owners who want to finish the whole exterior at once. On homes closer to the coast, we also pay attention to the metal parts of the roof. Salt air speeds up corrosion on drip edge, flashing, and exposed fasteners, so we choose accessories suited to coastal conditions and check older metal components closely during every inspection.

Living near the coast rewards homeowners who stay ahead of the weather. Here is a simple rhythm we recommend:

Spring (March to May)

Spring thunderstorms can bring hail and strong winds. After any severe storm, look for shingle debris in the yard, dented gutters, or granules collecting at downspouts. Schedule an inspection if you see anything unusual.

Early summer, before hurricane season

This is the best window for repairs. Secure loose shingles, reseal flashing, replace cracked vent boots, and clean gutters so the roof enters storm season in good shape. Trim branches that hang over the house.

Peak hurricane season (August to October)

If a storm threatens, photograph your roof and home beforehand so you have a clear baseline for any insurance claim. Afterward, inspect from the ground and call for help before climbing anything.

Winter

Cooler, drier weeks are comfortable for replacement projects and are a good time to check the attic for signs of summer moisture, such as stained decking or damp insulation. It is also a sensible season to plan any upgrades, such as improved ridge or soffit ventilation, before the next summer arrives.

We start every recommendation with an inspection of the shingles, valleys, wall transitions, vents, chimneys, skylights, edge flashing, attic ventilation, and accessible decking. If the damage is limited and the roof around it is sound, a repair is usually the sensible choice, and our roof repair services can handle it. If the roof has widespread aging, recurring leaks, layers that do not belong together, or storm damage across several slopes, replacement tends to be the more reliable investment. A typical Richwood replacement takes one to three days, depending on size and complexity.

Two items deserve attention before work begins. The City of Richwood provides building-permit applications on its official website, and requirements should be confirmed for your specific roofing scope. Separately, Richwood lies inside the area served by TDI's windstorm inspection program, and the agency says a large share of reroofs and major roof repairs must be inspected and certified before a property keeps its eligibility for windstorm coverage. Because those inspections happen during construction, they need to be arranged up front.

When the job is finished, keep the written scope, product information, permit and inspection records, photos, warranty paperwork, and any certificate together. That file makes future claims and a home sale much easier. Remember that the city and your insurer, not your contractor, make the final permit, code, and coverage calls.
