Houston, TX (prHWY.com) June 4, 2012 - Houston, TX - June 06, 2012 - All-Tex Home Improvement Services - Tropical storm Beryl is expected to hit the southeastern coast this Memorial Day weekend, prompting a lot of homeowners into hurricane preparedness. Local roofing Houston TX company, All Tex Home Improvement Services issues guidelines on how to prepare roofs for possible storms.

While not directly located in Tornado Alley, Houston has seen its fair share of hurricanes and storms and suffered damages from these natural calamities. Most Houston homeowners are aware of the risks storms bring, especially on their roofs. Local home improvement and roofing company All Tex Home Improvement Services seeks to remind the public of these dangers and how to prepare for them since hurricane season is expected to last until November.

According to the company, most damages wrecked by storms can be prevented by repairs and other miscellaneous but necessary actions. The guidelines below can help local homeowners keep their roofs intact during and after a storm hits:

Trim trees prior to storms.
When a storm warning is raised, homeowners are advised to start in on trimming trees around their property. Most of the time, the roof damages suffered by most houses isn't from the wind but from tree branches that got torn off and landed on the structures. For safety, homeowners are advised to get their trees, especially those with overhanging and withered branches, trimmed. This can save homeowners a lot of trouble since a broken tree branch flying at 50mph can cause the roof to cave in.

Get minor roof repairs underway.
Most Houston homeowners make the mistake of postponing repairs until after storms thinking to get the storm damage and other roof problems taken care of in one go. What they often forget is that repairs fortify roofs and prevent more expensive damages from occurring. A minor leak repair before the storm can morph into a saturated underlayment that needs expensive replacing after if left unchecked. Sealing leaks before a storm also ensures homeowners that their indoor property will stay safe and dry.

Call professionals for reinforcements.
Houston roofing professionals can check roofs prior to the storm for possible risks. They can also apply reinforcements on roofs at homeowners' request to keep it fixed on houses during storms. All Tex Home Improvement Services advises asking for roof straps at the very least to keep roofs from flying off especially during really strong winds.

So far, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released a forecast for this hurricane season which includes 9-15 tropical storms, 4-8 hurricanes, and 1-3 major hurricanes. According to NOAA, there will be fewer storms this year but most are expected to have landfalls - meaning rain and wind for most areas near and within the Tornado Alley. Houston homes are at risk and homeowners would do well to prepare starting with their roofs.

For more information on home and roof storm and hurricane preparedness, homeowners are advised to contact professional contractors, according to an All Tex Home Improvement Services representative.
