What to Expect During Storm Damage Restoration

Exterior replacement after a major storm in Round Mountain, TX, can be intimidating for those who have never gone through it before. In the event of storm damage, repairing and replacing the exterior of a home can be a challenge. Storm damage to your home, such as hail or high winds, may overwhelm you with the task of restoring it. Fortunately, having a professional roofing contractor can make that process much easier.

Types of Storm Damage

Storms can cause both superficial and structural damage to a home’s exterior. External damage is easy to spot. It refers to cosmetic blemishes such as denting, scratching, or chipping surface materials on the roof, siding, windows and doors. Storm-force winds can also tear off shingles or detach sections of your home’s exterior from its framing. That amounts to structural damage and could lead to further issues like water infiltration if left unaddressed for too long. You may require roof replacement or roof repair after severe structural damage. Commercial roofing services may be necessary to take care of repairs to your business.

Storm Damage Restoration Process

After a professional roofing contractor inspects the property, debris should be picked up around the property to prevent further damage. In order to prevent water infiltration and other complications, your contractor may recommend immediate repairs and tarping.

Next, your insurance company will want confirmation of the storm’s severity to authorize payment for the restoration work. This means having your contractor document all relevant details of damage sustained by taking photos and measurements during their inspections. A detailed estimate and repair plan will be produced based on your budget limitations and the repair schedule your insurer has established in advance.

Once everyone agrees upon the costs and services needed, it’s time for more technical matters like scheduling labor crews and material deliveries before the damage repairs finally begin.
