Prepare your dwelling for this hurricane season

Bernard Balais

By Randall Balais

Now that it’s June, the official Pacific hurricane season has begun. In recent weeks, the weather patterns in Hawaii have become unpredictable.

Now is the time to take action if you need a new roof, re-roof or repair, so you can have peace of mind knowing you took preventive measures to protect your home and family.

Not all roofing con tractors are the same, so it is important to choose a company that is licensed, insured and experienced for all of your roofing needs.

West Oahu Roofing Inc. (WOR) is a local family owned and operated roofing company that has been serving the entire island of Oahu since 2004. WOR specializes in the installation and repair of all types of roofing materials and roofing accessories.
