You’ve done all your due diligence and prepared everything you need to get your remodeling project underway. Suddenly, a storm appears on the forecast and throws a wrench into all your plans. It is frustrating. Natural disasters can be destructive and, more importantly, disruptive. Whatever home improvement plans you might have will now have to wait until you sort out the damage brought about by heavy rains or hailstorms.
If your home was hit by some bad weather, the first thing you need to do is find a good contracting company to help you with the recovery.
Before you go walking around outside to check your roofing, siding and other parts of your exterior, make sure that you have been given an all-clear first by the local authorities. Do not attempt to inspect your surroundings until the storm has passed completely, and it is perfectly safe.
For homeowners covered with insurance, you’ll want to beef up your claim before submitting it. A professional contractor can help you determine just how much damage you’ll need repaired so book an inspection appointment right away. Additionally, take as many pictures as possible of all the storm-related damage your home might have suffered. Documentation at this point should be your top priority.
Once all the important inspections have been completed, it’s time to talk about options with your home improvement contractor. Don’t hesitate to ask them about the costs of the renovation. Having homeowner’s insurance can lighten up the cost of repairs or replacement so it’s important that you maintain a policy in case of emergencies. Next, talk to your contractor about stronger alternatives so you don’t have to worry about future bad storms.
