Storm damage in Missouri to homes and other buildings is a very common occurrence. When Mother Nature decides to throw bad weather your way, all you can really do is wait until it's over and get ready to pick up when it's done. If this happens to you, our Missouri storm damage experts can get your home or office back to normal, and in most cases, even better than before! Midwest Renovation has put together a list of things that you should do immediately after storm damage happens.

Assess the Damage
Once the storm has safely passed, you will need to take a look around and see what damage has been done. Be very cautious of downed power lines, the smell of gas, or anything that could cause more trouble if not handled immediately. You'll also need to board up broken windows and do any other quick fixes you can to keep more damage from happening before someone can get there to fix it. 

Make a note of the date and time of the storm, and take photos of everything. You never know what information will be most important to your insurance company later, so the more proof of damage you have, the easier it will be to get it covered.

Call Midwest Renovation
If you end up with big damage that has to be taken care of before you can safely inhabit the building, like a tree through your roof or a hole in the side of the house, give our mid-Missouri renovation company a call right away. We have a 24-hour emergency line available 7 days a week at 573-635-5412.

We can come out and perform a free damage assessment and let you know exactly what is wrong, what needs to be done, and how quickly it needs to be addressed. Our storm damage inspectors are certified and highly trained, and the same friendly representative will be with you from the inspection through completion of the job if you decide to hire us.   


Review Your Insurance Policy
Before contacting your insurance company, you will want to take a look at your policy. This will help you to understand what should be covered and what may not be covered under. Going to them with a little knowledge already under your belt can give you an extra edge. 

Report the Damage
Most insurance companies allow you at least a year to make a claim, but they all vary, so double-check the guidelines for your particular company. The sooner you get it taken care of, though, the quicker the repairs can be approved by them. Midwest Renovation has people on our team that have worked in the insurance industry, so we know how everything works from both sides. For your convenience, you can begin an insurance claim directly from our website. We work well with all insurance companies, and as an added bonus, we can finance any portion of your deductible for up to 12 months with 0% interest!  


We all hope that it never happens to us, but if you do find your home or office the victim of storm damage, our Missouri storm damage repair team hopes that this list will help you to get everything fixed quickly and easily. As we mentioned, all of Midwest Renovation's inspections, estimates, and quotes are done at no charge to you, so you can feel comfortable giving us a call to find out exactly what we can do for you. Customer service is our #1 priority, and we hope that you give us the chance to show you what a wonderful job we can do.
