Storm Damage Restoration Contractors and Storm Damage Repair

When homes are subjected to strong winter storms followed by violent spring rainstorms, it is important to clean up the roofing, deck and gutter systems as soon as possible. Allowing leaves, broken branches and tree debris to accumulate in the gutters or on the sundeck can lead to more serious problems down the road. This might also be a good time for homeowners to consider a gutter protection system.

A local general contractor is a practical solution to tackling all of these storm damage repair issues at once. This way, storm damage restoration can be done before any further damage occurs, and any home additions or changes can begin as soon as they are finished.

Skylights Spring and winter storms can damage skylights. Falling branches or large blowing debris can cause severe storm damage. Whether they are cracks or splintered pieces of skylight broken through causing a water leak, it is best to have them repaired or replaced before any further damage occurs. Continual battering by Mother Nature on skylights can cause the sealant and trim to wear. Cleaning and sealing a skylight will prolong its lifespan and protect it from the next round of storms. Unprotected skylights can begin to deteriorate from sun exposure. Storm damage repair experts can blend in skylight repairs to the existing roof and other skylights.

Gutters In regions that have many large trees with many leaves, buds, nuts and seeds in both fall and spring, the gutters can fill with debris nearly any time of the year. This is especially true in the Dallas TX region where large trees are common. Gutter guard systems are shields placed over the open gutters to prevent debris from piling up. When the gutters are full, water from rain and snowstorms cannot flow properly into the drainage system and out through the downspouts. This can cause water damage and wood rot to the roof, fascia and walls. It can also cause ceiling leaks into the home’s interior.

Windows Other problems with winter and spring storm damage on a home or building are often the windows. Any window molding, trim and shutters should be repaired before the next round of storms comes to create further problems. When the damaged window area is left in a compromised or damaged condition then water can seep into the home creating interior moisture damage in addition to exterior structural damage. If the windows or glazing are worn or failing, the general contractor may be able to put in replacement windows as well.
