Storm Damage Roofing — Emergency Tarping & Repair

Before you call

What to do while you wait

These steps protect your home — and your insurance claim — in the minutes before help arrives.

1. Don’t climb on the roof — storm-damaged roofs are unstable, and falls are the real emergency.
2. If water is coming in, move valuables out of the drip path and put down buckets or tarps inside.
3. Photograph the damage from the ground — shingles in the yard, dents, missing sections.
4. If you can safely access the attic, look for active drips and note where they are — it helps the roofer find the entry point.
5. Don’t sign anything from a door-knocking “storm chaser” before you’ve talked to your insurer.

Our standard

The questions we ask every contractor

We don’t hand out badges or certifications — always check a contractor’s license and insurance yourself. What we do is ask every contractor the questions a careful homeowner would ask, before they ever take a homeowner’s call:

1. Are you licensed for this type of work, and can you show proof of insurance?
2. Who will actually do the work — your own crew or a subcontractor?
3. Will you put the full scope and price in writing before work begins?
4. How do you document the job for insurance — photos, readings, drying logs?
5. What warranty do you offer on the work, and what does it cover?

What happens when you call

Three steps, one phone call

1. You call — describe what’s happening at your home.
2. One call — no phone tag, no calling around.
3. They take it from there — the contractor handles the assessment, the quote, and the work. Get the scope in writing before anything begins.
