Storms in the Midwest can be intense and unpredictable. Whether it’s hail, heavy winds, or torrential rain, these systems can leave behind more than just puddles—they can cause serious damage to your roof, siding, windows, and gutters. At Ascend Exteriors, we know how overwhelming storm damage can feel, and we’re here to help you navigate what to do next.
Step 1:
Check for Safety First
Before inspecting your property, make sure it’s safe to do so. Stay away from downed power lines, sharp debris, or anything that looks unstable. If you suspect structural damage or gas leaks, contact emergency services immediately.
Step 2:
Inspect Your Home for Visible Damage
Once it’s safe, walk around your home and look for signs of damage, such as:
- Missing or damaged shingles
- Dents or cracks in siding
- Broken windows or screens
- Bent or detached gutters
- Water stains on ceilings or walls inside your home
Take photos of anything you notice. This documentation will be important if you need to file an insurance claim.
Step 3:

Even if you don’t see damage, hidden issues can worsen over time. At Ascend Exteriors, we offer free post-storm inspections to give you peace of mind. Our trained team knows what to look for and will provide you with an honest, professional assessment.
Step 4:
Contact Your Insurance Provider
Call your insurance provider to begin the claims process if you notice damage. The sooner you report it, the sooner an adjuster can assess the situation. Be ready to share your documentation and any notes you’ve taken about the storm and its impact.
Step 5:
Don’t Delay Repairs
Small issues can quickly become major problems if left untreated. A missing shingle today could lead to a leak tomorrow. If repairs are needed, our licensed and insured team will work efficiently and with quality craftsmanship to restore your home.
