Storm Damage 101

Living in the Midwest means your home is susceptible to storms almost year round! Whether it's heavy rain, hail, tornados or snow, your roof can be damaged. Understanding the impact of different storms and knowing when to schedule a free estimate is key to keeping your home safe!

​

NATURE OF DAMAGE

The nature of the damage to your home includes many factors: wind speeds, materials, structure barriers and general structures around your home that cause damage if fallen.

​

IDENTIFYING THE DAMAGE

Sometimes you will need to get on your roof to actually see the damage a storm has done to your roof, siding or gutters. Relying on a local and licensed roofing company can help when it comes to determining how bad the damage actually is.

​

YOUR ROOF INSPECTION

It's important to pay attention to your home after any major storms and promptly repair any items needed. When left unattended, the damage can become worse and even start damaging the interior of your home. It can also cause rotting wood, mold and possible electric fires.

​

It's important to consult a professional if you do see signs of damage on your home as quickly as possible. Be sure to contact a local and trusted roofing or exterior contractor for all of your home's needs after a storm.
