Our Approach to Storm Damage Repair

Expert Assistance After the Storm
The aftermath of a storm can leave you feeling overwhelmed, unsure of where to start. That’s where we come in. Our team of experts will promptly inspect your roof, siding, and gutters for any storm-related damage, documenting it thoroughly for your insurance claim.
What damage are we dealing with?
Damage to your roof, siding, or gutters can have many causes. Once we determine what damage we are working with, we can adequately continue onto the next step.
Hail
Hail Damage is quite hard to spot without the trained eye. The damage from hail can take time and effort to recognize. A hail hit can cause a leak 2 YEARS later with Minnesota’s harsh winters and hot summers!
Wind
Wind from tornados, wind storms, or regular storms can cause shingles to crease or even Come off. Some wind damage cannot be observed from the ground and requires a trained professional to inspect.
Ice dam
When your roof has snow on it, and the heat from your house melts it, the water travels to the eave of the roof, where it typically overhangs and is much cooler from having air running under it and no direct heat coming from the house below, causing ice dams to form and grow.

From taking photos of the damage to filing receipts for emergency repairs, we’ll ensure you’re well-prepared when the insurance representative arrives.
