HURRICANE REPAIRS

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we wanted to acknowledge the extensive damage done to homes throughout our community. Amidst the devastation, we are grateful for the compassion and tenacity of the hurricane heroes in our midst. As hurricane recovery efforts continue, numerous people in our area are eager to find answers about how to repair hurricane damage to their homes.  Here are a few questions you might be asking and ways we can help.

Where do I begin?

You’ve likely communicated with your insurance company already. If not, start there. Your insurance company/adjuster can guide you through tree/branch removal and initial remediation.

Is there a risk of additional damage to my home?

Your safety is the priority. Please be aware many potential hazards remain ranging from chainsaw usage to compromised trees/branches falling. Damaged homes and trees present many ongoing safety concerns. Several physical injuries have already occurred to homeowners who underestimate these dangers. Rely on experienced professionals to help prevent injury and additional damage to your home. As you continue to evaluate your property, put these two items on your checklist.

• Has my damaged roof been securely tarped to prevent future water damage? 

• Has a tree arborist examined the structural integrity of trees still standing? 

  
  

How can Daniel Builders help repair my damaged home?

We realize our team is best suited for certain situations. Calling us can be clarifying, even calming. Our commitment is to Build Trust whether we help you directly or refer you to someone who can.

How long will it be before my house is restored to normal?

At this point, there are still too many unknowns to estimate a timeline for repair. Be wary of anyone overpromising a quick repair process. Misleading promises will only compound your stress. Our commitment is to communicate on a regular basis (in many cases daily) and eliminate confusion about what happens next.

How can I ensure a qualified builder repairs my home?

We understand your urgency to restore your home to its pre-storm condition. Unfortunately, in this situation, there will be those who seek to exploit others for personal benefit. Verify the hurricane repair contractor you partner with is local, licensed, and insured. Check references and/or Google reviews. Reach out to your local Home Builders Association. Finally, obtain a documented scope of work and price clarity (getting as much in writing as possible) before turning your home over to a builder.
