What Storm Repairs Need Here

Rebuilding correctly after a Gulf Coast storm means more than patching what broke.

Code Upgrades, Not Just Patching

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.

Insurance Documentation

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.

Demand After a Regional Storm

After a major hurricane, material and contractor availability tighten across the whole region. We give honest timelines rather than promises we cannot keep.

Mold Risk After Water Intrusion

Humidity accelerates mold growth after any water intrusion. Drying out the structure properly before closing up walls is not an optional step.

Storm Repair Cost Factors

Extent of Damage

A localized roof repair costs far less than a full rebuild after major structural or water damage.

Insurance Coverage

What your policy covers, and any code-upgrade coverage, affects your out-of-pocket cost.

Code Upgrade Requirements

Bringing older construction up to current wind code can add cost beyond a simple repair.

Material Availability

Questions

Storm & Hurricane Damage Repair: Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work directly with my insurance company?
We can document damage, provide a written scope and communicate with your adjuster where that helps your claim move forward. The insurer makes the coverage decision, not us.
How soon can you start after a storm?
It depends on the scope of damage and current demand in the region after a major event. Call us and we will give you an honest timeline for your situation.
Do you offer emergency tarping or board-up?
Availability depends on current workload, especially right after a regional storm. Call to check what we can do right now.
Will repairs meet current building code?
Yes, structural and roofing repairs are built to the current Louisiana Uniform Construction Code wind and strap requirements, not just replaced like-for-like.
What causes storm damage claims to get denied or reduced?
Common issues include pre-existing damage, insufficient documentation, or maintenance-related wear being confused with storm damage. Thorough photos and a clear scope help avoid disputes.
Can you rebuild a home that was severely damaged?
Yes, from a single-room repair to a full structural rebuild, coordinated as one project through final inspection.
