Storm Damage Restoration: What You Can Expect After a Disaster

A storm can wreak havoc on your home. It can damage your roof, tearing off shingles and dislodging the gutters from their attachments. It can also destroy your home exterior, shattering window glass and leaving dents and punctures because of wind-blown debris. Its aftermath, however, can be frustrating to deal with. This unfortunate event necessitates the importance of immediate home storm damage restoration.

In this blog, local roofing contractor Deschutes Roofing & Insulation discusses a few things you need to know about a typical storm damage restoration process.

Thorough Damage Inspection of Your Roof and Home

Mild wind damage and damage resulting from heavy downpour can be considered storm damage. Once the coast is clear, you can get outside and check your home from a safe distance, taking note of any obvious damage to your home’s exterior. Soon after, get in touch with your local contractor. They can perform an in-depth inspection and examination to determine the extent of the damage. With their expertise, they can uncover signs of damage that only a trained eye can detect.

Disaster Restoration Mess

Once the pros have identified the severity of the damage, they can begin their restoration work. During a roof replacement, expect everything to be a mess because they’ll be removing the storm-damaged components like the underlayment. Before they arrive, make sure to cover your indoor furniture and other valuables with tarps or drop cloths.
