Here are steps to take if your home is damaged by wind.

Documenting Damage:

Preventing Further Damage:

• If you believe there could be structural, electrical, or gas-leak hazards, shut off electrical power, natural gas, and propane tanks to avoid fire.
• Cover broken windows and doors with tarps. 

Repairs and Cleanup:

• Don’t start repairs until your property has been inspected by an insurance representative.
• If your roof needs to be replaced, hire a professional roofing contractor.
• Fallen trees or large branches are best removed by a professional tree service.
