Different types of storms cause varying kinds of damage. Wind storms can rip off shingles, uproot trees, and damage structures. Water damage from torrential rains or flooding can seep into homes, leading to compromised foundations and mold growth. Hail can dent roofs, crack windows, and destroy siding. Recognizing these damages is the first step in addressing them efficiently.

Document the damage with photos and notes for insurance claims. Contact STOP Restoration immediately to secure your property and prevent further damage.
