Storm Damage Restorations, Repairs, & Replacements

Your home’s exterior goes through a lot over the years, including weathering many storms. Minnesota weather brings harsh winters, including severe cold, snow, ice, winds. During the warmer spring and summer months, thunderstorms, heavy wind, and hail are common.

If you notice leaks, missing shingles, damaged siding, water damage, or any other type of issue due to severe weather, we can assess the damage and fix it as quickly as possible.

Types of Damage

Hail Damage

Varying in size from as small as a raindrop to as large as a grapefruit, these frozen pellets of rain can cause serious damage to your property.

Here are some of the signs that you have sustained damage from hail:

Dents and chipping in the metal components of your house, such as the siding, gutters, downspouts, and air conditioning unit.
If you have an asphalt roof, there will likely be small bits of grit in your gutters, downspouts, and areas close to the house.
Cedar roof shakes/shingles can split or crack from the impact of the hail, and small pieces of cedar will accumulate on the ground and in gutters.
Other people have reported hail damage to their homes and vehicles in your area.

Water Damage

Heavy rains, snow, and wind can all cause water damage to your home. Sometimes it’s obvious, for instance, if your basement floods. Other times it can be harder to spot, sometimes going unnoticed for days or even weeks at a time.

Here are a few signs of water damage that you should look for:

Drips coming from the ceiling in the upper floors of the home.
Water accumulating in or dripping out of light fixtures and ceiling fans.
Spreading watermarks on the ceiling.
Water dripping down the exterior walls.
Water accumulating at the tops of window trim and doors.

Wind Damage

Heavy wind can quite literally shake your home, bring down trees, and litter your property with leaves, branches, and debris. Windy conditions can occur whether there’s a big storm or not, and sometimes the gusts are so strong they cause major damage. Unlike hail damage, wind damage is usually easier to spot.

Here are some of the common signs of wind damage to your home:

Loose and missing pieces of roofing material, particularly along the ridges.
On an asphalt roof, you might notice missing pieces or some that are hanging loosely.
Cedar roof shakes, and shingles might be loose, missing, or raised up.
Chimney flue caps or vent caps are either missing or loose.
Branches and other debris are on the roof of your home or garage.
Window shutters are missing, have been loosed, or have been damaged.
Gutters have become loose.

My Home Has Been Damaged. What Do I Do?

Mother Nature sure can be powerful. If your property has been damaged, you should take some important steps to ensure your insurance covers the damages to protect your home and property from further damage and give a contractor a good idea of where to start.

Take photos and/or videos of the damage when it’s safe to do so.
Document the type and extent of the damage in writing.
Record the date, time, duration, and weather conditions that caused the damage.
Find if other homes and businesses in the area have been damaged.

If your roof is leaking, try to evaluate where the water is coming from.
Move your valuables away from the affected area.
If it’s hailing, try to collect a sample of the hail and put it in your freezer if possible.
Find pictures that show the area before the damage began.
Contact Super Siders to schedule an inspection.
