Cyclone season. As an SES volunteer, these two words send shivers up my spine. The forces of nature are unpredictable and some damage is inevitable. However, my heart breaks every time I see a family’s possessions and home destroyed due to poor roofing installation and maintenance. This is one area in life where it doesn’t pay to be frugal. As a volunteer, I often help to repair or replace rooves, so I have built up quite a body of knowledge over the years. I firmly believe that a little knowledge goes a long way and I started this blog to encourage people to make sure they have met the roofing requirements for their area. I hope the down-to-earth advice provided here is useful and helps you avoid disaster in the face of nature’s fury. May you, your family and your possessions always be safe.
