April Showers Bring May Repairs: Why Now is the Time for a Roof Inspection on the NC Coast

By Cassandra Barba | April 22, 2025

As spring settles in along the beautiful coast of North Carolina, April brings more than blooming azaleas and warmer days—it also signals the start of the rainy season. And with increased rainfall comes the perfect reminder to check in on your roof’s condition.

At Patriot Roofing & Exteriors, we know coastal homes face unique challenges. From high winds and salt air to sudden storms, your roof takes a beating year-round. That’s why April and May are ideal months for a professional roof inspection—before the summer heat and hurricane season ramp up.

Why Spring Roof Inspections Matter on the NC Coast

  1. Early Detection = Cost Savings Small issues like loose shingles or minor leaks can turn into major headaches if left unchecked. Springtime inspections allow us to spot and fix problems before they worsen.
  2. Prepare for Hurricane Season The Atlantic hurricane season officially begins on June 1. A spring roof inspection ensures your home is reinforced and ready to weather the storm—literally.
  3. Humidity & Mold Prevention April and May’s fluctuating temperatures and damp conditions are prime for mold and mildew growth. We check for ventilation issues and hidden water damage that can compromise your home’s health.
  4. Energy Efficiency for Summer A secure, well-ventilated roof helps reduce cooling costs during the hot summer months. Now’s the time to ensure your insulation and roofing materials are doing their job.

What We Look for During an Inspection:

  • Missing, cracked, or curled shingles
  • Damaged flashing around chimneys and vents
  • Soft spots or signs of water infiltration
  • Gutter and downspout integrity
  • Signs of mold, rot, or damage
