Before our crew arrives

Do this right now — and don't do this.

🌪 Do this now

  1. 1Stay clear of hazards. Sagging ceilings, downed lines, and leaning trees are the injuries that happen after the storm.
  2. 2Photograph from the ground. Roof, siding, windows, yard. Don't climb — telephoto and video from safe distance is enough.
  3. 3Stop what water you safely can. Buckets and towels under active leaks; move valuables out of the drip line.

🚫 Never do this

  1. ✗Don't tarp your own roof. Wet shingles after a storm cause falls every season on Long Island. We tarp same-day.
  2. ✗Don't sign an AOB on your doorstep. Storm-chasing contractors follow weather events. Don't sign anything before your insurer knows about the loss.
  3. ✗Don't start permanent repairs yet. The adjuster needs to see the damage. Temporary protection yes; rebuilding before inspection, no.

// This advice is free whether you hire us or not. That's the point.

What's included

What we actually do — in full.

// Water mitigation to IICRC S500; structural work by licensed Long Island crews.

Insurance, translated

What your policy typically covers here.

Typically covered

  • Wind damage to roof, siding, and structure
  • Rain entering through storm-created openings
  • Tree strike damage and resulting repairs
  • Emergency tarping and board-up costs

Watch-outs

  • Rising floodwater and storm surge — that's NFIP/private flood insurance, not homeowners
  • Wind-driven rain through pre-existing gaps can be contested — our documentation settles it

Coastal claims live or die on the wind-versus-flood distinction. We photograph and map damage to the correct policy from hour one. Every policy differs — this is orientation, not a coverage decision; your policy language and adjuster determine final coverage.

Common questions

Storm Damage Restoration — answered honestly.

A tree hit my house — who pays for what?

Your homeowners policy generally covers damage to your structure plus removal of the tree from the structure — regardless of whose yard it grew in. We coordinate safe removal and document everything before cleanup erases the evidence.

What's the difference between wind and flood damage for insurance?

Wind (and rain entering wind-created openings) is homeowners. Rising water — surge, overflowing bays, street flooding — is flood insurance (NFIP or private). Coastal Long Island claims often involve both, and carriers push damage toward whichever policy pays less. Our job is documenting which damage belongs where.

How fast can you tarp my roof?

Same day in almost all cases, including during active storm recovery — we stage crews and materials ahead of named storms and nor'easters.

Should I use the contractor who knocked on my door after the storm?

Be careful. Storm chasers follow weather events, collect assignments of benefits, and disappear. Use a local company with a Long Island address, local references, and a license you can verify — whoever you choose.

My basement flooded during the storm — is that covered?

If water rose from outside (surge, groundwater, street flooding), that's flood insurance. If wind breached the structure and rain came in, homeowners applies. If a sump pump failed, coverage depends on a water backup rider. Describe it to us — we'll tell you where it lands.
