Austin (KXAN) – Local Austin roof repair works External quality He said that even if the homeowners did not see a leak after a storm on Wednesday, their roofs may remain damaged.
On Wednesday, a storm brought harmful winds, a large cold, and topical floods, causing widespread damage to Austin. Dustin Golden of external quality said that he and his team have been busy since then.
“This was one of the most crowded times,” said Golden. ))
The leaks are a clear indication that the ceiling may be damaged in the storm. However, even if he is not leaking, Golden advised people to search their roofs if the cold moved through their area.
“You have to be examined to see if there are actual damage,” he said. “You may not have a leak now, but the cold effect may lead to one in the future.”
Golden said that most insurance policies cover the damage associated with the cold, and that it is better for the home owner to act quickly to ensure eligibility.
“The better,” he said. “I wish at least the confidence of everything.”
Documentation includes things like taking pictures and videos. Also, reporting any issues, even issues, to protect the value of property in the long run.
If a quick solution is needed to repair the damage to the storm immediately, Rich Johnson of the Texas Insurance Council said to provide receipts, as insurance companies often pay these purchases.
Johnson said: “Let’s say, you have a broken window and you need to place a piece of plywood over it … it can be recovered,” Johnson said.
While Johnson and Golden recommended the evaluation of your property after a storm by a contractor, both of whom encouraged owners of homes to be careful of fraudulent companies.
Johnson said: “During the storm season like this, we will see contractors and ceilings from outside the city looking to benefit from the situation,” Johnson said.
He said that one of the “red flag” would be if the contractor made a waiver of a discount.
“This is completely illegal in Texas,” Johnson said.
Johnson recommended taking pictures of the contractor license, ensuring the company continuing locally and checking positive reviews.
Johnson said: “Your insurance company may have a list of favorite contractors in the region,” Johnson said. “Often, you will get a little additional guarantee if you go with one of these favorite contractors.”
