Before the storm
- Clear gutters and downspouts if it is safe to do so
- Secure or store patio furniture and loose yard items
- Trim branches that scrape the roof or hang over the driveway
- Know where your attic access is — check for prior stains before the storm
During and after
Do not go on the roof in wind or ice. Photograph missing shingles, bent gutters, or interior stains as soon as it is safe.
If water is active, bucket and document — then call for an exterior look when conditions allow.
When to call us
Missing shingle tabs, lifted siding courses, or a new ceiling stain after the storm warrant a documented walk — not a panic signing with whoever knocks first.
We write what we see and what a code-compliant repair includes. Your carrier decides what they pay.
