As hurricane season approaches the East Coast, homeowners in Franklin, VA, and across Southampton County are being reminded of the importance of roof readiness. High winds, torrential rain, and flying debris can take a heavy toll on residential and commercial roofing systems. That’s why Widmeyer Roofing, a local leader in roofing excellence, is encouraging residents to prepare now—before the storms roll in.
Hurricane Season in Virginia: Are You Ready?
Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30, with peak activity typically occurring between August and October. In Southeastern Virginia—including Franklin and the surrounding areas—storms can bring everything from mild wind gusts to severe structural damage.
The roof is your home’s first line of defense during a storm. If it’s compromised, you risk leaks, mold, insulation damage, and even costly interior repairs. The good news? Most of these problems can be prevented with timely inspections and professional maintenance.

Why Roof Inspections Matter Before Storm Season
One of the best things you can do to prepare for hurricane season is schedule a comprehensive roof inspection. Our certified roofing specialists will evaluate your roof for:
-
Missing or damaged shingles
-
Soft spots or sagging areas
-
Loose flashing or vents
-
Gutter and drainage issues
-
Signs of water infiltration
These seemingly small problems can become major liabilities when high winds and heavy rains arrive. Early detection and proactive repairs can save thousands in emergency repairs later.
