Would you know what to do if a tree fell on your roof, or your roof was damaged by hail or strong winds? Here’s a quick step-by-step guide for homeowners during an emergency.
-
Don’t panic. Contact your insurance provider and a professional roofing contractor.
-
If the damage happens in the middle of a storm, the roofing contractor will wait until the storm is over before jumping into action.
-
Roofers may place an emergency tarp over damaged roofing areas to protect the roof until a more permanent repair is made.
-
Take your time to consider repair or replacement options, once the contractor has secured the roof from further damage.
-
Don’t attempt to repair the roof on your own. It is too dangerous. Call a professional.
