Severe Storms Leave Thousands of Homes Damaged—Here’s How Roofing Contractors Can Help
Storms Devastate Homes Across Multiple States—Roofing Contractors Are in High Demand
This past weekend, a powerful storm system swept across the South and Midwest, leaving behind a trail of destruction. With confirmed tornadoes and severe weather impacting multiple states, thousands of homes have been damaged or destroyed. In Missouri alone, reports indicate that nearly 500 homes were either heavily damaged or leveled by the storms. Oklahoma faced a double hit—not only from tornadoes but also from wind-driven wildfires, which damaged or destroyed over 400 homes.
As homeowners scramble to file insurance claims and begin the rebuilding process, roofing contractors are needed more than ever. The faster they can assess damage and submit estimates, the quicker homeowners can get the approvals they need for repairs.
How Roofing Contractors Can Help
After major storms, the demand for roof inspections and insurance estimates skyrockets. As a contractor, here are a few ways you can maximize your impact and assist homeowners efficiently:
Prioritize Emergency Repairs – Some homeowners may need immediate temporary repairs to prevent further damage. Tarping and sealing exposed areas can make a big difference.
Educate Homeowners on Insurance Claims – Many homeowners have never filed a storm damage claim before. Walking them through the process and setting realistic expectations will help them feel more confident.
Speed Up the Estimating Process – Insurance carriers are overwhelmed with claims after a storm, so submitting accurate and detailed estimates quickly can make the difference between an approval and a delay.
Offer Supplementation Services – Some homeowners may receive lower insurance payouts than expected. Ensuring they get everything they are entitled to is crucial.
