Wisconsin weather can be wild! One minute you’re basking in sunshine, the next you’re battling a blizzard that turns your house into a disaster zone. Roofs fly off, walls get soaked, and windows become peepholes for the wind. If this ever happens to you, don’t panic!
Here’s a quick guide to fixing your house after a storm:
Damage Check
Grab your phone and snap pics of the mess. Missing roof shingles? Siding hanging on by a thread? Gutters overflowing like a bathtub? Take pictures and videos of everything! These will help you and your insurance company figure out what needs fixing.
Insurance SOS
Remember that insurance you pay for every month? Now’s the time to use it! Contact your insurance about storm damage to your home following the recent weather event. They’ll send someone to check things out and see what’s covered.
Contractor
Treat your storm-battered house like you treat your health – pick the best care possible. Skip unqualified contractors and find a reliable, experienced contractor to help with your storm damage restoration. Here’s what to look for:
Fix-It Plan
Talk to your contractor about what needs to be done. Do you need a whole new roof or just some missing shingles patched up? Does your siding look like a patchwork quilt, or can it be saved? Your contractor will work with your insurance to review your itemized list of coverage to ensure everything that’s damaged will be repaired or replaced.
Home Sweet Home Again
With the plan in place, your contractor crew will work their magic. They’ll patch up your roof, fix your siding, repair overflowing gutters, and even put in new windows if needed. Soon, your house will be back to being your cozy haven, safe from even the wildest Wisconsin weather.
Remember, you’re not alone! With a little knowledge, your insurance backing you up, and a great contractor like us at Performance Exteriors & Contracting by your side, you can turn your storm-battered house back into a home sweet home in no time!
