From sudden hail to high winds and heavy rain, storm season in Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati brings weather that can put your roof to the test. The last thing any homeowner wants is to discover a leak after the damage is done.
That’s why summer is the perfect time to take action. Whether you’re in Independence, Burlington, Newport, or beyond, preparing your roof now can help prevent expensive repairs later—and protect your insurance coverage if damage does occur.

Your Summer Roof Readiness Checklist
You don’t have to be a roofer to spot early warning signs of trouble. A quick visual inspection from the ground can reveal issues that might worsen during the next storm.
Look for:
- Loose or missing shingles – Wind can lift them, creating weak spots for water intrusion.
- Cracked, curled, or warped shingles – A sign of aging and UV damage.
- Clogged gutters or downspouts – Blocked drainage leads to water pooling and roof edge damage.
- Damaged flashing – Check around chimneys, vents, and skylights. Flashing protects the seams where leaks often begin.
- Sagging roof sections – A red flag for underlying moisture damage or structural issues.
- Moss or algae buildup – While not always urgent, it holds moisture that can degrade your shingles over time.
If you notice any of these problems—or aren’t sure what you’re seeing—it’s time to schedule a professional roof inspection from A+ Services.
Why Summer Is the Smartest Time for Roof Inspections and Repairs
Waiting until fall—or worse, until damage shows up inside—can leave you scrambling for emergency repairs in bad weather. By taking care of your roof during the summer:
- You get longer daylight hours for thorough inspections and repair work.
- Materials cure and seal better in warmer, drier weather.
- There’s more availability before peak storm season and holiday backlog.
- You avoid the rush of emergency calls that flood roofing companies after major storms.
Proactive maintenance now means peace of mind when the next storm rolls in.
How a Roof Inspection Can Strengthen Your Insurance Claim
Here’s something many homeowners don’t realize: Your insurance company expects you to maintain your roof. If you file a claim after storm damage and the adjuster finds evidence of wear, neglect, or pre-existing issues, your claim could be denied—or only partially paid.
That’s where a documented roof inspection comes in:
- Verifies your roof was in good condition before the storm
- Helps support your case for full coverage
- Creates a paper trail that protects your investment
At A+ Services, our licensed roofers provide detailed inspection reports, complete with photos and written documentation that you can submit directly to your insurer.
