Vancouver, Washington Painting Contractors

The recent storm in Vancouver, Washington is causing grief for many local homeowners as they face the damages caused by the storms. The storm damage can be anything from some roof tiles or shingles blowing loose and causing water leaks to full blow water leaks from water intrusion around windows, doors, flooding, etc… In fact many water leaks from storm damage are from old roofs that have cracks or are failing due to age.

Best thing to do while the storm is is process is to get a large tarp to cover the roof. Usually, homeowners will call upon a local contractor to handle this for them. In Vancouver there are several contractors who do these types of emergency repairs.

After the storm passes than you can assess the damages. You will contact your local insurance agent or the insurance claims department and get ahold of an adjuster.. you may even want to call upon an independent claims adjuster.

If the roof leak was extensive you may be facing lot’s of damage. The floor may have buckled, the dry wall collapsed, the insulation is wet and so forth. This will require a dry out company to “dry out” your home and belongings.

So, now you have an emergency roof repair - cover with plastic tarp, a real roof repair once the storm passes and than your interior work such as drywall repairs, insulation replacement, mold remediation, carpet cleaning or replace, wood floors that may have buckled and the list goes on. It may even require some content cleaning.

Be prepared for this winter. Remember last winter in Vancouver, Washington and all the flooding in Washougal along the river. Lot’s of storm damage occured during those storms.

If you are experiencing flooding, water damage, knocked over fence or perhaps even a tree falling on your home you will need professional assistance to help navigate thru this storm damage repair process.

One thing you “DON’T” want to do is to use the contractors that the insurance adjuster recommends. Reason, they may just do the work on a line item basis and not leave you as the homeowner with any options in the repair process.

This is often a time to think about color changes when a room is painted. How about a carpet upgrade when your carpet needs to be replaced and so on.. So, rather than just blindly having the “recommended’ contractor do the work you should sit down and negotiate upgrades and work you may need done. The insurance company will not pay for upgrades but you can negotiate with the contractor on his prices with the idea that he better be competitive on all the work you want done cause your gonna get other bids.
