"Its Spring!"

This past week we have seen early weather alerts along the Front Range and the first severe storms of the season. Colorado's storm season can bring volatile weather during May, June and July. Our team is here to help you be prepared for the unexpected and below are some of our recommendations heading into summer:

For Your Home

1. Inspect and Strengthen Your Roof

• Inspect for Damage: Check your roof for loose, cracked, or missing shingles, as these can be vulnerable during storms.

• Install Impact-Resistant Materials: Consider upgrading to impact-resistant shingles or metal roofing designed to withstand hail.

• Seal Vulnerable Areas: Apply sealant around flashing, chimneys, vents, and other openings to prevent water intrusion.

• Clean Gutters and Downspouts: Ensure gutters are clear to prevent water pooling on your roof during heavy rain.

2. Protect Windows and Doors

• Install Storm Shutters: Use permanent or temporary shutters to shield windows from hail and flying debris.

• Reinforce Doors: Ensure exterior doors are impact-resistant and have strong hinges and locks.

• Use Window Film: Apply protective film to windows to reduce the risk of shattering.

3. Secure Outdoor Items

• Anchor Loose Items: Secure or store outdoor furniture, grills, flowerpots, and other items that could become airborne during high winds.

• Trim Trees: Remove dead branches and trim trees to prevent damage from falling limbs during windstorms.

For Your Vehicle

1. Park in a Covered Location

• Use a Garage or Carport: Keep your vehicle in a garage or carport during hailstorms to protect it from damage.

• Portable Covers: Use hail-resistant car covers or blankets if covered parking is unavailable.

2. Avoid Parking Under Trees

• Prevent Falling Limb Damage: Avoid parking near trees or large branches that could break off during a storm.

3. Stay Alert to Weather Updates

• Plan Ahead: Monitor weather reports and move your vehicle to a safe location before a storm arrives.

Please revisit your auto and homeowner coverage and become familiar with ways to protect your car(s), home and personal property; before an unexpected storm hits. Our team would be happy to help you assess your risk and make recommendations!
