As August winds down, it’s time for Texas homeowners to prepare for one of the most unpredictable times of the year—fall storm season. Sudden downpours, high winds, and even hail can cause major roof damage if you’re not ready. At E & E Roofing, we help Baytown-area residents storm-proof their homes with reliable inspections, timely repairs, and expert advice.
This guide covers essential roofing tips for August to ensure your home is protected before the first major fall storm rolls in.

Schedule a comprehensive roof inspection from a trusted Baytown roofing company like E & E Roofing. A trained eye can spot subtle issues you might miss, including:

In August, clear out leaves, twigs, and dirt, and make sure all downspouts are directing water away from your foundation.
Bonus tip: Install gutter guards to reduce future maintenance.

Be proactive and trim branches back at least 6 feet from your roof. This reduces debris accumulation and lowers the risk of impact damage.
A dry attic = a healthy roof. In August, go into your attic during a sunny day and look for:
These are signs of a slow leak or poor ventilation. Addressing it early can prevent insulation damage and structural rot.
Is your current roofing material rated for hail or wind? If your roof is older, it may not be up to today’s standards.
