What Do I Do First?

QUESTION: What do I do first?
ANSWER: You need to find out how, where, and if, the storm damaged your home. There are a two different ways to accomplish this. One way is to do your own inspection and look for obvious damage including; major dents, holes, or materials that are blown off and are clear to see. Obvious damage can typically be seen without the help of a trained eye or a professional inspection.

The second way and the way to insure that all damage is discovered is to call in a storm damage specialist, such as USRCT member to do a professional inspection. Most companies offer these inspections free of charge, as their profits come when the damage that was discovered is repaired. Generally, the company that does the inspection will also do the repairs. With a professional inspection by USRCT you will receive a report that will show exactly where all damage exists around the entire home. All damage will be circled with chalk to show you, and your insurance company exactly where the storm damage exists.
