A Look at the Different Ways a Storm Can Damage Your Home

Look At Elmhurst Storm Damage

Like any imposing event in nature, storms definitely deserve our respect. They can be problematic, dangerous and even deadly at times, and their effects on homes lead to literally billions of dollars being spent on repairs and replacements, throughout the country, on an annual basis. It’s clear then that knowing how a storm can damage your home can be very important, since it will teach you what areas of your home to fortify.

 

The roof is naturally one of the most frequently affected areas of a house. Roofing damage is common during stronger storms, especially hurricanes and hailstorms, but not excluding thunderstorms and snow storms. Shingles are often damaged in some way – either cracked, broken or bent out of shape – and flashing damage will usually lead to leaks.

 

The Elmhurst roofing gutter system and siding is also damaged in many cases due to a powerful storm, which leads people to choose durable siding materials like fiber cement, and select a more expensive gutter system complete with gutter guards.

 

Finally, older windows and wooden doors will usually be affected by precipitation over longer period of time, leading to their structural integrity being impaired. It’s a good idea to have them replaced with vinyl or metal windows and a strong metal door.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
