Storm Damage Repair in Windsor

Storm Damage Repair for Windsor homes

Windsor's homes range from early-1900s brick houses in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions in the east and south ends. Windsor's mature tree canopy is beautiful until a summer storm brings branches down onto roofs. Impact damage can crack the deck under shingles that look fine, so after a tree or large limb hits a Windsor home, we check the decking and rafters as well as the surface.

What's included

Wind, hail and fallen-tree damage inspected, documented with photos and made watertight. Depending on your roof, the work can include:

• Damage inspection
• Photo documentation
• Temporary protection
• Permanent repairs
• Related exterior damage
• Stay safe.
• Limit interior damage.
• Take your own photos.
• Call your insurer and a roofer.

Local conditions in Windsor

Mature trees across Windsor's established streets drop branches in summer storms and fill eavestroughs every fall, and freeze-thaw cycles through winter open up any weak flashing. That combination makes chimneys, valleys and roof edges the most common repair spots we see in the city.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for storm damage repair in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Can you provide dated photos and a written description of the damage?
• How will you protect the roof from water until permanent repairs are done?
• Is the damage repairable or does it justify a replacement?
• Is your price the same whether or not I make an insurance claim?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Windsor are issued by the City of Windsor's Building Services department. Replacing shingles with similar materials usually doesn't need a permit, but structural repairs, new roof framing, new skylight openings and changes to the roof structure generally do. We confirm what applies to your project during planning.
