After storms with heavy winds, the only way to know what damage your exterior has acquired is to look for it. Be vigilant because wind damage to your roof and siding creates and accelerates problems concerning functionality, aesthetic appeal, and safety. The severity of the damage depends on the strength of the wind, the age of your roof, and the quality of maintenance. In this article, we'll discuss how to do a DIY inspection from the ground, attic, and roof. Start On Solid Ground. There is a bit of looking around while you're on the ground. Keep an eye out for:

If you would instead do it yourself, we recommend using safety tools like a harness, spotter, roof harness anchor, sturdy ladder, and rubber-soled shoes.
