Storm Damage Repair in Tecumseh

Storm Damage Repair for Tecumseh homes

Tecumseh combines established neighbourhoods near the Lake St. Clair shoreline with newer subdivisions and rural properties to the south. Storms crossing Lake St. Clair can reach Tecumseh with strong wind, and homes nearer the shoreline take the brunt of it. Wind can break the seal on shingles without tearing them off, so we check for loose tabs across the whole roof, not just the obvious gaps.

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.

Full details, how the work runs and common questions are on our main storm damage repair page.

Local conditions in Tecumseh

Wind is the most common cause of the roof repairs we do in Tecumseh: shingles that have lost their seal, lifted tabs along the rakes and ridge, and damaged vents. Summer storms crossing the lake also bring branches down in the older, tree-lined neighbourhoods.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for storm damage repair in Tecumseh, 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 Tecumseh are issued by the Town of Tecumseh's building department. Replacing a roof with similar materials usually doesn't require a permit, but structural changes, new roof framing and new skylight openings typically do. We confirm requirements for your property before work starts.
