At HW Roofing, protecting Florida homes isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are. We know that May is more than just the start of summer fun. It’s a critical time to get serious about your roof. With hurricane season officially beginning on June 1st, mid-May is the last calm before the storm. And in Florida, your roof is your home’s first line of defense.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned serving communities across the state, it’s that small issues—like loose shingles or clogged gutters—can turn into expensive emergencies when severe weather hits. Taking action now could save you time, stress, and thousands in repairs later.
Why May Is the Most Important Month for Your Roof in Florida
Here’s why homeowners should act now:
- Hurricane Season Starts June 1st: The National Hurricane Center predicts another active year. Don’t wait for the first named storm to start preparing.
- Availability: Reputable roofing companies like HW Roofing get booked quickly as June approaches. Scheduling your inspection or repair now ensures you’ll get the attention you need before calendars fill up and response times slow down.
- Material Shortages: High demand during hurricane season can lead to material shortages and price increases. Acting now helps avoid potential delays and ensures your project stays on schedule—and on budget.
- Better Prepared = Faster Claims: A current inspection report and photo documentation can make your life easier if you ever need to file a claim.

Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection
Our comprehensive hurricane-prep inspection goes beyond a simple visual check. We thoroughly examine:
- Shingle integrity – looking for wear, lifting, or damage that could compromise protection
- Flashing around chimneys and vents – ensuring there are no gaps where water can seep in
- Signs of water intrusion in your attic – checking for staining, mold, or moisture buildup that signals hidden leaks
If you can see any of your underlayment, that’s a red flag—call HW Roofing immediately. Exposed underlayment means your roof’s top layer of defense is already compromised.
