Beware of Damaged Shingles After Hurricanes Helene and Milton

The Southeast has recently been devastated by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and our thoughts are with all those affected. Unfortunately, the aftermath could get worse for unsuspecting homeowners. Floodwaters from the hurricanes have damaged shingles that were sitting in suppliers’ stockyards or on job sites. Dishonest individuals may obtain these compromised shingles—either for free or at steep discounts—and sell them to homeowners looking to save money on their roofing projects.

One major manufacturer has already announced that these damaged shingles are not covered under warranty. If you’re planning a roofing project within the next year, please be vigilant. Ensure you know exactly where your shingles are coming from and that they’re sourced from reputable suppliers.

Protect your investment by working with trusted contractors and insisting on certified, undamaged materials.
