Storm & hail damage

Hail, wind, tornadoes, hurricanes and fallen trees - from the first hours after the storm to the final repair.

This is DamageRepairHub's first category, and it is live: seven practical guides, every storm-repair trade explained with costs and quote checklists, 30 storm-prone metros covered, and the first contractor listings live in 26 of them. Additional listings are published after review. The update list helps us prioritize coverage.

Guides for the first days

The first 24 hours after a storm damages your home

Safety first, then photos, then stopping more water. The order matters more than the speed.

Storm chasers: 9 red flags before you sign anything

Most roofers are honest. The ones who appear from out of state right after a storm deserve five minutes of checking.

What to photograph, in what order, and the small habits that make claims go faster.

Emergency roof tarping: when you need it and what it costs

A tarp is cheap. The water damage it prevents is not. Here's what a proper job looks like.

Hail vs. wind damage: how to tell what hit your roof

The two leave different fingerprints. Knowing which one you have shapes the repair and the claim.

Storm chaser vs. local roofer: a 10-minute comparison

Both will knock on your door after a storm. Only one of them will still be here for the warranty call.

The adjuster's estimate is half your contractor's quote. Now what?

This gap is normal and usually fixable. The steps that close it, in order - no panic signing required.
