Home Storm Damage 101: Some Essentials to Consider

No matter how many times your home has sustained damage from a major weather event, setting about its repair and restoration remains a daunting process. Fortunately, you can make the experience fairly easier with the right considerations. Before calling your insurance provider and filing a claim, Creative Construction Group, one of the area’s premier residential roofing contractors, suggests you do the following:

  1. Make sure to document the storm damage. Check every area that may have suffered damage from the storm. These include your siding, windows, and gutters. Be especially observant about the damage to your roof. Did a tree fall on it? Are there dents, cracks, and holes caused by wind-blown debris? Have you noticed massive leaks in your home? Make sure to take photos and videos of these–they’ll be handy when you have to file a claim later on.
  2. Determine the extent of storm damage. Sometimes, the storm damage is small enough that you can work on having it repaired immediately. But you’ll want to be absolutely sure, so why not consult Creative Construction Group, the area’s trusted residential roofing company? With our comprehensive inspection, we can accurately determine if there is substantial damage to your home that necessitates filing an insurance claim. 
  3. Work only with a trusted local roofing company. Should you need help with your insurance claims, Creative Construction Group will be more than happy to assist you.
