When powerful storms like Hurricane Erin whip up massive waves and flood our coasts—especially along the Outer Banks—even roofs hundreds of miles inland can feel the effects. Erin’s blistering surf, coastal over wash, and emergency evacuations serve as a reminder of the importance of hurricane roof resilience for homeowners throughout North Carolina. The Washington Post+1

At Always Forward Roofing, we understand what these storms mean for your home. We specialize in delivering roofing solutions that go beyond aesthetics—prioritizing strength, long-term protection, and comfort.

What Homeowners in Central NC Need to Know to have Hurricane Roof Resilience

1. Wave-Driven Winds Can Travel Far

Even without landfall, Erin’s energy fueled surf and flooding have endangered coastal infrastructure and caused widespread alerts and evacuations. The Washington Post+1 This pressure can extend inland, stressing roof systems built.

2. Insurance Claims Can Be Tricky

If your roof sustains hurricane-related damage, filing an insurance claim may offer coverage—but policies differ. Whether you’re dealing with minor shingle loss or structural compromise, Always Forward Roofing guides you through the claims process to protect your investment.

3. Suggestion of Roof Inspection Can Make All the Difference

Early maintenance like re-sealing flashings, reinforcing vulnerable edges, and ensuring proper drainage may help strengthen your roof.
