Emergency Services for Home & Business
Storm Damage Repair
A cause of stress is being a home or business owner faced with any kind of damage to your residential or commercial building. This is especially the case when the damages occur suddenly. Storm damage can come in many forms. Hail can bring with it dented gutters and chipped siding. Strong winds can blow away and damage your roofing substrate. Whatever the specific damage to your structure, it’s important not to put it off. You will not have to figure out storm damage repairs by yourself. We are here to help restore your structure after it has endured any kind of damage.
Damage Caused by Florida Storms
Some of the most common roof repairs we make after South Florida storms are for broken roof tiles or lost shingles. Other types of damage include ruined gutters, shattered windows, and damaged exterior walls. Not only can the exterior damage compromise the aesthetic appeal of your home, but it can also leave it vulnerable to leaks and rapid deterioration. Weaker structures are particularly vulnerable to wind damage, but even well-built properties can experience a loss of structural integrity. Seacoast Building & Design is well-equipped to make necessary repairs quickly.
Initial Visual Check
We know how anxious our clients are to know if their home or business is still standing. Therefore, once a storm has passed, as soon as safely possible we will arrive at your home within 72 hours. We will perform an initial visual check of both the exterior and interior and provide you with an initial report.
Substantive Follow-up
Once we have visited every home to evaluate the damage, we will return and perform a more substantive detailed review of the interior and exterior of your property for obvious damage with a comprehensive report and pictures. We will also begin to take immediate steps to mitigate any further damage.
Coordinating Our Team
We understand how important it is to restore your home or business to how it was before the storm. Therefore, we will coordinate team visits, document details, and take pictures of every project, all while keeping you constantly apprised. We will monitor our team, check their progress, and report to you.
Storm Damage Experts You Can Trust
Storm damage mitigation can often attract opportunistic individuals, such as out-of-state contractors motivated solely by profit. These storm chasers may exploit the vulnerability of homeowners in distress, resulting in unreasonable pricing and a lack of empathy in their profit-driven efforts. Such practices not only hurt home and business owners in need of swift and reliable repairs, but also tarnish the reputation of the contracting industry as a whole. It’s essential to be vigilant and choose a proven and licensed professional who prioritizes genuine assistance, so, let’s do this right the first time.
Storm Preparedness Services
Our storm preparedness services are a vital component of our concierge offerings. We conduct thorough inspections of your property to identify and resolve any potential issues before they escalate during a storm, giving you the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are well-prepared. As a storm approaches, our team takes proactive steps such as closing shutters and securely storing any items that could become airborne, thus preventing possible hazards.
As a storm preparedness company in Southwest, FL, Seacoast Building & Design encourages clients to have either hurricane-resistant glass or shutters installed. To streamline preparations and keep your home preparedness affordable, we recommend shutters that are motorized, crank-down, or accordion-type, as these can be deployed quickly. Post-storm services are critical for a swift recovery.
Hurricane Strap Installation
Hurricane straps, also known as hurricane ties or clips, are critical components in building construction, especially in regions susceptible to high winds and hurricanes. Extreme winds, such as those generated by powerful hurricanes, can sometimes rip the truss of the roof off the walls of a home. There are several different shapes of hurricane straps for trusses including twist ties, hurricane clips, hurricane strap, hurricane gusset angle and saddle ties.
Seacoast Building & Design can provide hurricane strap installation services to help fortify your roof against hurricane-force winds. In certain areas of Florida hurricane ties must be installed on all new homes. They also require some existing homes that are getting roof replacements to be retrofit with the straps. Can a homeowner install hurricane straps? No, only professional roofers are qualified to install.
