Make sure everyone is safe, photograph damage from the ground, prevent further water entry where you can, and contact your insurer. Avoid climbing on the roof.
A serious storm rarely stops at the shingles. Gutters get torn loose, siding gets dented, windows crack and water finds its way indoors. Restoration means looking at the entire exterior instead of just the most obvious damage.
We begin by making the home weather-tight, then document each affected area and put the work in a sensible order: roof first, then exterior surfaces, then the interior finishes that depended on them staying dry.
Common signs we check for:
- Roof, siding and gutter damage together
- Fallen limbs and impact marks
- Broken windows or screens
- Water stains after a storm
- Damaged fence sections
- Loose soffit and fascia

What restoration covers
A serious storm rarely stops at the shingles. Restoration means bringing the whole exterior back to working condition, with the work sequenced so one trade does not undo another. Here is what a project may include:
- Roofing, from spot roof repair to complete roof replacement.
- Gutters, fascia, soffit and downspouts, which are often dented or pulled loose.
- Windows, screens and siding that were hit by hail or debris.
- Fences that were blown down or damaged by falling limbs.
- Interior repairs and water damage restoration where rain got inside.
The first 48 hours after a storm
What you do right after a storm can protect both your home and your claim. Take these steps in order:
- Check for hazards first. Stay away from downed power lines, gas smells and sagging structures.
- Photograph everything from the ground, including wide shots and close-ups, before anything is moved.
- Stop further damage with a tarp, board-up or by moving belongings. Keep every receipt.
- Write down the storm date and time and call your insurance company to open a claim.
- Schedule an inspection of the roof and exterior before agreeing to any repair work.
If the roof is open or water is coming in, start with emergency roof repair.
How a restoration project runs
We scope the entire property rather than just the roof, so nothing gets missed in the claim. The written scope lists each trade with photos and measurements. Once coverage is settled, we order materials and set the sequence. Generally, the roof goes first, then gutters and siding, then windows and fencing, and interior finishes last so new work is not damaged. You get a single point of contact and a schedule that shows when each crew will be on site. See our general contractor services for larger rebuilds.
Timing depends on material availability, insurance approval and how busy the season is. After a major storm, demand for crews and materials rises across the region, so an early inspection and a clear scope help keep the job moving.
Working with your insurance carrier
Restoration claims often involve several line items and may need more than one round of review. When something is missing from the first estimate, such as drip edge, code-required items or a damaged fence, a documented supplement is the normal way to request a review. We provide photos and measurements to support each item. You stay in control of the claim, and your insurer makes the coverage decisions. Details are on our roof insurance claim page.
Be careful with anyone who asks you to sign away your claim rights before you have read the document, and get every change in writing. Our guide on choosing a roofing contractor lists other warning signs.
Damage that is easy to miss
Some storm damage takes time to appear. Attic insulation can stay wet long after the roof is patched. Soft metals may be dented while the shingles look fine from the ground. Fences and gates may lean slightly, then fail in the next wind. AC fins may be bent, which reduces efficiency, and that should be checked by an HVAC company. A complete walk-through now can prevent a second round of repairs and gives you a record if issues appear later.
