The October Homeowner Checklist: Protecting Your Roof Before Winter Storms Arrive

The October Homeowner Checklist: Protecting Your Roof Before Winter Storms Arrive

September 01, 20251 min read

As October approaches, so does the increased risk of severe weather, including high winds and early hail. A critical homeowner task right now is ensuring your roof is ready. We primarily install Malarkey shingles because they offer superior protection and peace of mind.

Their patented NEX® Polymer Modified (Rubberized) Asphalt technology adds elasticity, allowing the shingle to better absorb and deflect impact force, which is key for resisting hail and wind-blown debris. Many Malarkey lines, like the Vista® and Legacy® series, boast a Class 4 Impact Resistance rating, the highest available.

This resistance isn't just about durability; it may even qualify you for a discount on your homeowner's insurance premium. Beyond strength, Malarkey is a sustainable choice, using upcycled rubber and integrating 3M Smog-Reducing Granules that actively clean the air. Before that first frost, let Northwind Exteriors perform an inspection.

If storm damage is found, remember we specialize in insurance restoration work, guiding clients through the claims process to ensure your new, fortified roof system is installed correctly.

Don't wait until a small issue becomes a major leak this winter: protect your home with a Malarkey roof now.
