Storm Damage Repair: Why Timely Action & Trusted Contractors Matter in Southeast Wisconsin & Northeast Illinois

April 30, 2025

Storm season continues to bring heavy wind, rain, and hail to Southeastern Wisconsin and Northeastern Illinois—and homeowners in Kenosha, Racine, Walworth, and Southern Milwaukee are feeling the impact.

From roof leaks to siding cracks and damaged windows or gutters, exterior damage can escalate quickly if not addressed.

Before you rush into repairs, choosing the right contractor is one of the most important steps you can take.

  1. Are you licensed and insured to work in Wisconsin and Illinois?
  2. Can you provide local references or recent examples of storm repairs?
  3. How long have you been in business? (Hint: We’ve been here since 1957!)
  4. What kind of warranties do you offer?
  5. What’s the expected timeline for the repair?
  6. Will you provide a detailed written estimate?
  7. How do you handle unexpected issues during the project?

Asking these questions can help you avoid scams, low-quality work, and costly mistakes—especially after a big storm when out-of-town “contractors” flood the area with too-good-to-be-true offers.

Why Timely Repairs Matter

Prevent Further Damage:
Even minor issues like missing shingles or cracked siding can lead to major damage. Moisture intrusion can result in mold growth, rot, or weakened structural components.

Preserve Your Home’s Value:
Storm damage can reduce your home’s curb appeal and market value. Addressing issues promptly protects your investment.

Keep Your Family Safe:
Unstable roofing, loose gutters, or shattered windows pose serious safety risks. Timely repairs help keep your home safe and secure.
