It's that time of year where thunderstorms are frequent in mid-Missouri. Between heavy rain, hail and wind, severe weather can easily impact your roof. In today's blog, we discuss some of the benefits of a professional roof inspection at the Lake of the Ozarks  following a storm. 1.

Move Your Vehicles.  Many of us are used to just parking in the driveway, but if you have a garage, be sure to pull your vehicles into it before the roof construction begins. You don't want dust and debris
