Why You Should Check Your Home’s Storm History Every Spring
A simple annual habit that could save you thousands in repairs.
Here in the Ozarks, we know how quickly the weather can change, especially as spring rolls in. One moment it’s sunny and calm, and the next, high winds or hail are pounding rooftops across the neighborhood.
While spring storms can be unpredictable, your preparation doesn’t have to be. One of the most effective habits you can develop as a homeowner is to check your home’s storm history every spring, even if you didn’t notice obvious damage in the past year.
At Advanced Restorations, we encourage every homeowner to start the season by downloading a free Extreme Weather Report to help stay ahead of any lingering damage and prevent small issues from turning into costly problems.
Storm Damage Isn’t Always Immediate
Not all damage from hail or wind shows up right away. A storm that passed through last summer may have loosened shingles, worn down protective granules, or weakened flashing, all without causing leaks or noticeable problems at the time.
But as more weather hits and time passes, that minor damage can:
- Lead to roof leaks or interior water damage
- Cause shingle deterioration or roof rot
- Compromise the long-term effectiveness of your roofing system
- Disqualify you from filing an insurance claim due to time limits
If you didn’t inspect your roof or check for damage right after last year’s storm season, spring is the perfect time to catch up.
What the Extreme Weather Report Tells You
Our Extreme Weather Report is a fast, free way to see whether your home experienced any verified hail or high-wind events in the past two years. It uses data from Doppler radar, National Weather Service systems, and crowdsourced reports to create a storm history specific to your address.
When you download your report, you’ll receive:
- A list of dates your home was impacted by hail or strong winds
- Hail size and wind speed estimates for each event
- A reliable record to reference in future insurance conversations
- A great starting point for scheduling a spring inspection
This isn’t just weather trivia, it’s critical information that helps you stay proactive with your roof, gutters, and exterior protection.

Spring is the ideal time to take a fresh look at your home’s exterior:
