"It's been very busy this spring. We started off with the heavy rains around Christmas time and it's just stayed busy since then," said Jeff Elam, sales manager at Dale's Roofing.

And as warmer weather approaches, it's not only rain causing headaches for homeowners, high winds are a factor as well.

"Right now it's been a lot of ridge caps being blown off because that area of the roof is more susceptible to the wind. We are also seeing a lot of wind driven rain," said Elam.

Experts recommend homeowners periodically do a visual inspection of your roof to see if anything has blown off or is slipping. Roofing issues left untreated could lead to leaks.

"You'll notice stains showing up on the ceiling. It's always a good idea to call a roofer to come out and check on it," said Elam.

"A Roofer can crawl around in the attic and see where the stain is coming from. A lot of times with the wind driven rain the leak will be coming from one area but the wind blows it to another spot and that's where the stain shows up, so a roofer can come check that out as well," he explained.

And if you have to replace your roof, do your research. Talk to professionals about which products will be best for your home and most resistant to the unpredictable Midwest weather.

"I would definitely recommend going with the architectural shingle, most of them have a 130 mile an hour wind warranty so that definitely helps out with the wind rating and extends the life of them," said Elam.

Experts say roofs older than 20 years are most susceptible to weather related damage.

Quest for roof bids garners rumors of Convention Center safety

(Brad Davis/The Register-Herald) The view of the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center from the upper parking lots Thursday evening. The Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center is 36 years into the 25-year lifespan of its roof officials said Thursday. Those roofs are just supposed to last 25 years so its time for some maintenance Convention Center Board Member Terry Miller said. You can imagine the size of the roof on the dome and thats a big deal. We replaced the conference center roof a few years ago but its time for the main dome to be replaced. Bids are being gathered to replace the dome. A bid was supposed to be put in Thursday evening but the bid amount has not been released yet. We havent had a structural inspection and the building has not been condemned Miller said. Were getting bids and thats all were doing. Concerned local citizen Pete Torrico says he would like to see a structural study done because of the buildings age. There hasnt even been a structural study but Dave McClure and myself have been trying to get a study done. There has never been a study Torrico said. Miller said he would support a study and that they are now accepting bids for the roof-rebuild. As Miller mentioned there were rumors flying around Thursday evening that the arena had been condemned and that the roof was deemed a hazard. Both Torrico and Miller said that is just a baseless rumor that was caused by the search for roofing bids. The Convention Center formerly know as the armory was built in 1962 to house the West Virginia National Guards 150th Armor Regiment. The 150th moved out of the Beckley armory in the 2006 to its current location in Glen Jean.
