How to Prepare Your House for Storm Season
Middle Tennessee storms bring wind, hail and fallen limbs. A little preparation limits the damage.

Before the Storm
Clean gutters, trim limbs near the roof and house, secure loose siding and fence boards and check that doors and windows latch. Bring in or anchor outdoor furniture and grills.
Take dated photos of your property so you have a record.
After the Storm
Walk the property and photograph any damage. Secure openings with tarps or boards if needed and call for repairs quickly, because water damage grows fast.
Stay away from downed lines and report them.
Repairs and Records
Keep receipts and photos for your insurance company. Prioritize safety and weather-tightness first, then cosmetic repairs.
We document damage and make repairs, but we do not handle your claim.
