Restoring Your Home’s Exterior: Dealing with Storm Damage to Roofs, Gutters, and Siding
Mother Nature’s wrath can leave a lasting impact on the exterior of our homes. Storms, with their high winds, hail, and heavy rains, often result in significant damage to roofs, gutters, and siding. It’s crucial to address these issues promptly to protect your home’s structural integrity and prevent further deterioration.
Documenting for Insurance Purposes
Promptly inform your insurance company about the storm damage. Review your insurance policy to understand your coverage and document the damage thoroughly. Provide your insurer with accurate and detailed information, including photographs, videos, and a comprehensive list of damaged items. Exteriors by Window Makeover works with all major insurance companies as well.
Roof Replacement
If your roof has sustained significant storm damage, a complete replacement may be necessary. Work with a reputable roofing contractor who specializes in storm damage restoration. They will guide you through the roof replacement process, including selecting suitable roofing materials, ensuring proper ventilation, and addressing any underlying structural issues. A well-installed and durable roof will provide long-term protection for your home.
Addressing Gutter Damage
Gutters play a crucial role in diverting water away from your home’s foundation, preventing water damage and erosion. Storms can cause gutters to become clogged, bent, or even torn away from the house. Inspect your gutters for blockages, cracks, or sagging sections. Clear any debris and ensure that the gutters are securely fastened. If the damage is severe, consider replacing damaged sections or the entire gutter system to ensure proper water drainage.
Repairing or Replacing Siding
Siding serves as a protective barrier for your home, shielding it from the elements. Storms can result in siding damage, such as cracks, dents, or loose panels. Exteriors will inspect your siding for any visible signs of damage, including holes, warping, or missing pieces. Small cracks or minor damage may be repairable with the appropriate techniques and materials. However, extensive or irreparable damage may necessitate complete siding replacement.

Restoring your home’s exterior after storm damage requires expertise and specialized knowledge.
