Southeast Texas Storm Response
I was recently called by a homeowner in North Silsbee, Texas who needed immediate help with a roof repair after a wind storm knocked a very large limb onto her house.
With forecasted rain moving in, she was understandably concerned about her roof leaking and causing future damage.
Due to the urgency of the situation, I went out the very same day to asses the damage. After our inspection, we fortunately discovered that the tree branch did not penetrate the roof, however it did cause extensive shingle damage.
I advised her to start a claim with her insurance, which allowed us to bill the insurance company directly. We then began on her roof repairs, and within two weeks she had a brand new roof – all for the total amount of her deductible.
We worked hand and hand with her carrier and herself to make this process as seamless as possible.
What began as a very stressful situation turned into a blessing in disguise for our customer. She now has a new roof and couldn’t be more please with Southern Roofing Solutions and the service we provided for her.
