Protect Your Home This Storm Season: Siding, Windows, and More

Summer storms are here and so is hurricane season. Homeowners and contractors know that preparation is key in North Carolina during this time of the year. High winds, heavy rain, and flying debris can cause serious damage—but the right home improvements can make all the difference in protecting your property and giving you peace of mind.

Why Siding Matters in Storm Season

Siding isn’t just about looks, it protects your home from the elements, too. Before a storm arrives, you’ll want to inspect your siding, replacing any worn or loose parts. At Southside we carry energy efficient, durable and long-lasting siding in several varieties and lots of color options. Ordering what you need is easy too. Just ask!

Windows: Protecting What Matters Most

Broken or weak windows are one of the biggest risks during hurricanes and severe storms. Not only can they shatter from flying debris, but they also allow rain and wind to enter your home, causing interior damage.

Investing in quality windows is an important step when protecting your home. When you shop at our window department you’ll find a variety of sizes from Moss Supply Company. These replacement windows feature DP-50 high wind glass, meaning they can withstand pressures up to 50 psf (pounds per square foot). During other times of the year you’ll appreciate that they’re energy efficient, too!

Additional Storm-Ready Improvements

In addition to your windows and siding, Southside has shingles, roofing supplies, heavy duty doors, and all the supplies you need to prepare for severe weather and clean up!
