After The Storm
Hurricanes prove time and time again how truly powerful and detrimental they can be. It’s imperative to act swiftly once the hurricane has passed — after the storm, you’ll need to take immediate action to understand the extent of the damage. Royal Exteriors is by your side from start to finish to ensure that not only is your home secure right after the storm, but also in putting the finishing touches on any construction repairs that need to happen.
Even if your home seems like it has been spared and is structurally sound, it’s still important to get it assessed — ripped off and damaged siding to broken windows still makes your home vulnerable to damage. The exterior of your home is given the job of protecting the interior from the outside elements, so if any part of it is compromised, so are you.
Slow-moving hurricanes produce more rain and typically cause more damage.
Should You Repair Or Replace?
It’s likely that you’ll know whether repair or replacement of exterior components like siding or your roof will need to be replaced. If only a couple of places were damaged, a repair will likely happen, but if there is more damage than not, you’ll likely need to replace them.
When you connect with hurricane contractors, you can inform them of what you see so they can better know what they’ll be assessing. It’s typically recommended that after a hurricane, the siding be replaced if it has been damaged. Even if only small sections were affected, there is a good chance there is moisture damage surrounding most of the exterior.
