Lake Charles took a direct hit from Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020, and storm risk is a fact of life on the Gulf Coast. Brothers Construction repairs wind, water and debris damage and can work from an insurance scope of work.
Rebuilding correctly after a Gulf Coast storm means more than patching what broke.
Louisiana’s building code has been updated since many area homes were built. Roof and structural repairs are done to current wind-load and strap requirements, which can mean more than a simple like-for-like patch.
Clear photos and a written scope matter for claims. We document damage thoroughly and can work from, or alongside, your insurer’s scope of work.
After a major hurricane, material and contractor availability tighten across the whole region. We give honest timelines rather than promises we cannot keep.
Humidity accelerates mold growth after any water intrusion. Drying out the structure properly before closing up walls is not an optional step.
Specific storm & hurricane damage repair projects with their own detailed guide.
Roof repairs and full replacements built to current Louisiana wind-load code, whether from age, a leak or storm damage.
Repairing homes after flooding, storm water intrusion or a plumbing failure, with drying, mold prevention and rebuilding handled as one project.
We inspect the roof, structure and interior and document everything with photos.
We can review your insurance scope of work and point out gaps, or coordinate directly with your adjuster.
Permits are pulled for structural, electrical or plumbing repairs as required.
Where needed, affected materials are dried out or removed before rebuilding begins.
Roofing, framing, drywall and finishes are repaired or replaced to current code.
Work is signed off by the building inspector, then walked with you before closeout.
A localized roof repair costs far less than a full rebuild after major structural or water damage.
What your policy covers, and any code-upgrade coverage, affects your out-of-pocket cost.
Bringing older construction up to current wind code can add cost beyond a simple repair.
Prices and lead times can shift after a major regional storm event.
