What Makes an Exterior Storm-Ready
- Rigid, well-fastened siding: fiber cement and thicker vinyl panels resist wind and debris better than thin builder-grade products when installed to the manufacturer's specifications.
- A continuous weather barrier and proper flashing so wind-driven rain can't get behind the cladding.
- Securely attached soffit that won't peel away and let water into the attic.
- Gutters with strong hangers that stay put under heavy loads.
Can Gutters Really Protect Your Foundation?
Yes. A single storm can send a lot of water off the roof. Without working gutters, it pours down at the foundation, saturates soil and can lead to settling, cracks and wet crawlspaces, especially on expansive clay. Seamless gutters with downspouts discharging well away from the house, or tied into buried drains, are one of the most cost-effective protections a home can have. See our gutter installation and repair service.
Restoration After Severe Weather
When a storm has already done damage, we inspect roof, siding, gutters and trim, photograph and measure the damage and prepare a detailed scope for your adjuster. We can help you understand the claim process, though your insurer makes coverage decisions. Our storm damage and insurance claims page explains the steps.
