Katelyn Lewis • September 20, 2022

If you think there may be damage to your roof after a storm, you may consider filing a claim with your homeowners’ insurance company. Let’s get you on the right track to do so.


Tip no. 3: Protect your home from further damage.

If strong winds cause something to puncture your roof, for example, you or a professional would need to remove the obstruction and tarp over the area to prevent water from entering your home through the hole.


At Retex Roofing & Exteriors, we offer emergency tarping services so we can address any storm damage efficiently and bring you peace of mind quickly. We will also provide you an estimate for the work needed to re-seal your home before the next storm, working with your insurance company to identify the best solutions to fix and bolster your home’s exteriors.
