Hurricane Season Roof Prep for Houston Homes: A Simple Pre-Season Checklist

4 min read · Updated October 2026

Quick answer

Before hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, inspect shingles and flashing, clear gutters, trim overhanging branches and repair small problems early. Photograph the roof so you have a before record.

Tropical systems bring wind and flooding rain, so a little preparation goes a long way. Use this checklist before the season starts, and see storm damage roof repair if you need help after a storm.

Inspect shingles and flashing

Look for lifted, cracked or missing shingles and loose flashing. Small problems become big ones in high winds, so book roof repair early.

Clear gutters and trim branches

Clear gutters drain heavy rain, and trimmed branches cut the risk of limb strikes, which matter in tree-filled areas such as Spring. See roofing in Spring.

Photograph the roof

Take dated photos now. A before record helps when you talk to your insurance company later.
