St. Louis experienced some extreme storms last year. So, the damage is fresh in the minds of many homeowners. Everyone learned a valuable lesson: the roof, your main form of protection from the elements, has to be fixed as quickly as possible.

After-Storm Safety Precautions for Homeowners

Preliminary Inspection

Apple Restoration, a division of Exterior Building Solutions that specializes in fixing damage caused by storms and other extreme weather events, recommends you call a roofing contractor if you see any of these:

Any sign of damage to your roof shingles

Any fallen debris on your roof, such as tree branches or limbs

Damage to other roofing components, such as roof vents, chimney flashing and gutters

In general, following a storm or any extreme weather event, it’d be more prudent to call your preferred roofing companies as soon as possible. The signs mentioned earlier highlight the urgency of the emergency repairs.

Red Flags

However, if you see sagging rooflines, leaning walls, bulging areas and a separated foundation, it’s highly recommended that you evacuate your home immediately.


Time is of the essence when it comes to these kinds of repairs, so the sooner the repairs are done, the better.
