Some of the most common requested repairs include a generator repair on the low end (average cost: $285) and a roof replacement on the high end ($6,800).
There are
- Windows. Inspect for cracks, gaps, rotten wood, and chipped or cracked glass.
- The Roof. You’re looking for damaged shingles or missing granules, and you will want to get them repaired quickly!
- Gutters. A bad gutter can weaken your walls or leak into your house, and it will get worse after a storm.
- The Trees. If you have large trees that are dead or dying, go ahead and have them removed before they have a chance to fall on your house or car!
A good inspection will help you get things under control now before they become urgent.
If a Storm Strikes
If you do end up with some storm damage, follow these steps:
- Inspect the damage and take pictures.
- Call your insurance company for an appraisal.
- Hire a handyman you trust.
There are shifty repairmen who will sell you repairs, often too quick and too cheap for the repair. Instead, hire someone already established with good references.
