Factors That Determine Wind Damage to Your Roof:

1. Wind Speed

Strong winds don’t need to reach hurricane levels to cause damage. Wind speeds of 40 to 50 mph can lift shingles, loosen siding, and pull gutters away from the home, especially if the materials or installation weren’t done right.

2. Wind Duration

It’s not just the speed of the wind, the length of time the wind blows is also a major factor. Moderate winds over a long period can weaken your roof system and open the door to leaks and structural issues.

3. Wind Direction

When wind blows against the direction your roofing materials were installed, it can create uplift, leaving your home exposed to even more damage.

4. Current Roof Condition

A roof that hasn’t been properly maintained is more vulnerable to wind damage. Regular inspections can prevent small issues from becoming major problems after a storm.

5. Quality of Roofing Materials

At Amazing Remodeling, we only work with high-quality roofing, gutter, and siding materials to ensure your home is protected even in extreme weather conditions.

6. Quality of Installation

Even the best materials won’t hold up if the installation isn’t done right. Our team follows manufacturer specifications and New Jersey building codes to make sure your roof is built to withstand tough conditions.

7. Other Weather Conditions

Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, and strong sun exposure can all weaken roofing materials over time. An inspection can reveal whether your roof is ready to face the next storm.
