Charleston & Surrounding Storm Damage Repairs

Directly following a storm, look for visible signs such as damaged siding, broken windows, missing shingles, shingles no longer lying flat, or debris around your property. Water stains or leaks inside the home can also indicate damage has been done following a storm.  Sometimes you can see damage to soft metals like downspouts, mailboxes, and other areas where signs of hail could be visible.  It's always advisable to have a professional reputable roofing contractor perform an inspection for a thorough assessment after any major storm.

The time you have to file an insurance claim after a storm typically varies by insurance company and your policy. Generally, you should report a claim as soon as possible to ensure prompt processing and to mitigate further damage. It is always best practice to at least get your home inspected if you think damage may have occurred or if you are unsure.

Is impossible to completely prevent storm damage, but there are things you can do to reduce the chances moving forward and better protect your property.  We recommend regular maintenance, such as checking and repairing the roof, cleaning gutters, and reinforcing windows and doors. Storm-resistant upgrades, like impact-resistant windows or stronger roofing materials, are always a great investment in our Charleston coastal climate.
