What counts as an emergency storm repair situation?

An emergency situation is any sudden storm damage that threatens the immediate safety, structural integrity, or interior of your home. Common emergencies include large leaks caused by missing sections of shingles or siding, shattered or broken windows, or structural damage that leaves your living space exposed to the elements. If water is actively entering your home or your property is unsecure, immediate emergency service is required to prevent further damage.

What is the difference between emergency storm repairs and permanent restoration?

The main difference between emergency storm repairs and permanent restoration is the timing, purpose, and duration of the work:

  • Emergency Storm Repairs (Temporary Mitigation): Immediate, short-term measures designed to stabilize a home, secure the exterior envelope, and stop active water intrusion right after a storm. Examples include emergency roof tarping, board-ups, and loose siding stabilization.

  • Permanent Restoration (Full Scope Repairs): Long-term, permanent construction that fully repairs or replaces damaged roofs, siding, gutters, or windows. This phase uses permanent building materials to restore the property to pre-storm condition or better, often funded through an insurance claim.

Legacy Restoration performs both stages: we deploy immediate emergency mitigation to prevent secondary damage, then guide you through the full permanent restoration process to fully protect your home and give you back complete peace of mind.

Do I need to contact my insurance company before calling for emergency repairs?

No, you do not need to wait for an insurance adjuster to inspect your roof before securing emergency services. In fact, waiting several days for an adjuster while water leaks into your home can cause secondary damage (like mold, rotted decking, or ceiling collapse) that your insurance provider might deem preventable. You can call Legacy Restoration immediately to tarp and board up your home; we will document all emergency measures thoroughly so you can submit the costs directly to your insurance provider when filing your claim.

Will my home insurance policy cover emergency repairs like tarping and board-ups?

Yes. Virtually all homeowner insurance policies cover the reasonable cost of temporary emergency mitigation—such as roof tarping, board-ups, and water extraction—under your “Loss Mitigation” coverage. Insurance carriers actually require policyholders to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a storm occurs. Keep all invoices and receipts for emergency services, as these costs are typically reimbursed as part of your overall insurance claim.

What steps should I take immediately after severe storm damage occurs?

Safety comes first. Follow these immediate steps:

  1. Stay clear of hazards: Watch for downed power lines, shattered glass, and structurally compromised ceilings. Never attempt to climb onto a wet or damaged roof yourself.

  2. Contain interior water: Place buckets or containers under active leaks, and wipe up standing water on floors to prevent mold growth and structural warping.

  3. Call an emergency response team: Contact Legacy Restoration right away to dispatch a team to quickly assess and respond to your unfortunate situation.
