What To Do When Storm Damage Occurs
With over a decade of experience in storm damage repair, we understand how important it is for homeowners to choose a trustworthy and knowledgeable contractor.
Your home is the most important thing you own, providing you and your family with a safe and comfortable space. When your home is damaged by severe weather, dealing with the aftermath can be a confusing and stressful time. Unfortunately, it is during this time that many homeowners experience high-pressure sales tactics from contractors.
If you’ve recently experienced storm damage, it’s important to protect yourself by taking the time to find a professional contractor you can trust to complete your repairs. With over a decade of experience in storm damage repair, we understand how important it is for homeowners to choose a trustworthy and knowledgeable contractor. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve put together a few tips for homeowners:
● Beware Of “Storm Chasers.” Immediately after a severe weather event, you may notice that suddenly you have contractors knocking on your door. In many cases, these are non-local or less experienced contractors looking for quick work. Homeowners are often confronted with a high-pressure sales pitch and are asked to sign a contract on the spot. As a rule of thumb, never sign a contract with a company until you’ve had time to do some research about them.
● Don’t Rush To Make a Decision. When your roofing, siding, or windows are damaged, you might feel like you need to have repairs made immediately. However, making a quick decision could result in choosing an inexperienced contractor, or improperly opening claims with your insurance company that could impact your policy. While you should have your home inspected as soon as possible, there’s no immediate need to commit to a contract.
● Get An Inspection From A Trusted Professional. Before signing a contract with anyone, you should have a thorough inspection completed by a trusted professional. In some cases, an emergency repair may be needed, but a contractor should never make you feel rushed to make a decision.
● Get Multiple Quotes And Opinions. Getting a quote from a contractor does not mean that you are obligated to hire them to complete your repairs. In fact, we recommend that homeowners get multiple quotes and opinions from experienced contractors so they can make an informed decision.
