Emergency roof damage requires immediate action to prevent further damage to your home. Whether it's a fallen tree limb, wind-stripped shingles, or hurricane damage, here's what to do.

Immediate Steps:

  1. Ensure everyone's safety — stay away from downed power lines and structural damage
  2. Document damage with photos and video from safe vantage points
  3. Call Restoration Roofing at (843) 306-2939 — we respond 24/7
  4. If safe, place tarps over exposed areas from inside the attic
  5. Move valuables away from water intrusion areas

What NOT to Do:

  • Don't climb on a damaged roof
  • Don't sign contracts with storm chasers who appear after storms
  • Don't make permanent repairs before your insurance adjuster inspects
  • Don't throw away damaged materials — they're evidence for your claim

The Insurance Process:

We handle insurance claims every day. Our process includes thorough damage documentation, direct communication with your adjuster, and advocacy to ensure fair claim settlement. We'll guide you through every step.

Beware of Storm Chasers:

After major storms, out-of-state contractors flood the area offering quick fixes. Always verify SC licensing (ours is RBC 694), check reviews, and never pay large deposits upfront.
