Protecting Your Home from Storm Damage

Protecting Your Home from Storm Damage

The construction of your home is a long process that costs a great deal of money. Obviously, you want to do strive to keep your home looking the same or better throughout the years. One way to do so is by protecting your home from storm damage since the average amount of damage a storm does costs the U.S. over one billion dollars.

The brunt of the damage from a winter or other season storm happens to the roof and will require a repair from a roofing contractor. However, you can prevent this by hiring a roofing contractor to perform preventative measures to protect your roof. You may want to consider using roof straps as a way to secure the roof when high winds are expected to sweep through your area. Additionally, you should evaluate your shingles on a regular basis to check for loose or broken ones. Replace broken shingles and use roofing cement to secure any loose ones. Loose shingles allow water to seep through more easily. Plus, the loose shingles may fly and damage other areas of your roof.

Tree removal or trimming is essential in saving your roof from the dangers of a storm. Dead or weak branches can come off during high winds and if there’s an overabundance of snow or rain. Trees should regularly be trimmed, and dead trees need to be removed completely. Any time a tree hangs over a roof, whether it’s dead or alive, it can cause problems and not just during a storm.

If you’re siding is older, you may want to consider an upgrade. Newer vinyl has the ability to protect against wind damage up to 250 miles per hour. Not to mention, it will make an improvement on your home’s esthetic appeal and possibly its value. If you have any damage done to your siding, repair it immediately because storms will make it worse and cause problems with the structure underneath the home.

Make sure you have insurance on your home. If you live in an area prone to flooding, make sure you have flood insurance because it’s not always covered on a standard policy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Stan and Alex climb our home and do a very thorough inspection of the hail damage on the roof and steel siding.  They were honest and upfront and told me that we had little to no damage which was confirmed by the insurance adjuster.  I admire their integrity and value their professional approach.  They documented everything and left me a folder full of data to compare to if I was to get another storm.  I will be calling them once that happens!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I toured the Intelligent Design facility in Maple Grove, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Seeing their full operation, including the paint shop and cabinet shop, really highlights the quality and craftsmanship they pour into every detail. What truly sets them apart, though, is the team. I had the pleasure of speaking with Stan (who co-owns the business with his wife) and Val, one of the project managers. They are incredibly solid, professional, and genuine people who clearly take pride in their work. I would definitely use them for my own future projects and highly recommend them for yours as well. If you’re looking for a professional team that delivers top-tier results with a personal touch, this is the place!
