Storm Damage Repair Fallen trees, roof damage, water intrusion, siding torn off — we respond fast.

We prioritize storm damage calls and respond as quickly as possible for emergency tarping and board-up. After major storms affecting many homes simultaneously, response times depend on call volume and severity — life-safety situations and active water intrusion are prioritized. Call (508) 925-0396 immediately after a storm event for fastest response.

Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover storm damage — wind, hail, fallen trees, lightning, and associated water intrusion. Flood damage (rising water from ground level) typically requires separate flood insurance. Your policy’s deductible applies. We provide the documentation insurance companies need: damage photos, itemized scope, material specifications, and before/after records.

You have the right to choose your own contractor regardless of what your insurance company suggests. Insurance-recommended contractors work for the insurance company’s interests, not yours. Choosing your own MA-licensed contractor means someone working on your behalf — identifying all damage (not just obvious damage), submitting supplemental claims for hidden damage, and ensuring repairs meet code rather than just the insurance estimate minimum.

After every major storm, out-of-state contractors go door-to-door offering quick repairs. They often ask for large upfront deposits, do minimal work, and leave town before problems surface. Red flags: no MA license, no local address, pressure to sign immediately, asking for full payment upfront. Always verify MA CSL and HIC registration numbers before signing. A legitimate MA contractor will happily provide license numbers for verification.

Mold begins growing on wet organic materials (drywall, wood, insulation) within 48-72 hours. Immediate steps: open windows for airflow, run fans and dehumidifiers, remove standing water, and call for professional assessment. Wet drywall that can’t be dried within 48 hours should be removed and replaced — it’s cheaper than mold remediation later. We prioritize removing wet materials quickly during storm damage repair.

Yes. We document all damage with photos and measurements, prepare itemized repair scopes matching insurance formatting, meet your adjuster on-site to walk through damage, and submit supplemental claims when hidden damage is discovered during repairs. We’ve worked with all major insurance companies on storm claims across Worcester County.

Hidden damage is extremely common with storm events — water travels inside wall cavities, soaking insulation, framing, and drywall that isn’t visible from the exterior. When we open walls for repair and discover additional damage, we document it and submit a supplemental claim to your insurance. Insurance companies expect this and have processes for supplementals. We don’t close walls until all hidden damage is identified and repaired.

We coordinate tree removal with licensed tree service companies. Once the tree is removed, we handle all structural repairs — roof rebuild, wall framing, siding, windows, and interior restoration. We can manage the full process (tree removal through complete restoration) as one coordinated project.

Emergency tarping and board-up: same day or next day. Minor repairs (missing shingles, small siding sections): 1-3 days. Moderate repairs (roof section, multiple windows, drywall): 1-2 weeks. Major structural repairs (tree through roof, extensive water damage): 3-8 weeks depending on scope. Material lead times for specific windows, siding, or roofing can extend timelines.

Call (508) 925-0396 immediately. Describe the damage and any active water intrusion. We prioritize emergency response, then schedule a full assessment. Document all damage with photos before we arrive. File your insurance claim and get a claim number. We handle everything from emergency stabilization through permanent restoration.
