That severe thunderstorm rolled through Platte County last night and now you are looking up at missing shingles or dented vents. Dealing with storm damage is important, but having a clear plan makes the whole process less stressful. Here is what you need to know about tackling a storm damage repair project right here in Columbus, NE.
The Timeline: What to Expect
Most property owners want to know how long the whole project takes. Every project is different, but a typical timeline looks something like this:
- Inspection and insurance assessment usually takes 3 to 7 days.
- Material ordering and delivery takes about a week, depending on supply.
- The actual repair or replacement work usually takes just 1 to 2 days on site.
Charis Roofing Inc sees plenty of unpredictable weather around Platte County, so those timelines can shift if another storm blows in.
How to Prepare Your Property
When our crews from Charis Roofing Inc show up to fix your roof, there are a few things you can do to make the job go smoothly. Move your vehicles out of the driveway and well away from the work zones to protect them from falling debris. Take down any delicate wall hangings inside your house because the hammering vibration can rattle them loose. Finally, give your pets a quiet place inside away from the loud noises.
Questions to Ask Before Signing a Contract
Do not sign on the dotted line until you have asked the right questions. Make sure you know who is actually doing the work, and find out whether they are local subcontractors or out-of-town crews. Ask about manufacturer warranties and your contractor's workmanship guarantee. For homes and businesses in Columbus, Charis Roofing Inc keeps things transparent so you never get stuck with unexpected surprises halfway through the job.
