Mark Twain once said “If you don’t like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes.” That’s cute. If you don’t like the weather in the Midwest, it could be because it is pounding your home with tomato-sized hailstones, or peeling its siding off with an F1 tornado, or absolutely blasting its shingles with driving rain.
We call it “Nature’s Fury” here at Angell’s Construction Services. We are clever like that.
Protecting Midwestern homes means we have to contend with many weather-related threats both before and after they’ve happened. It demands expert home restoration and speedy storm damage repair services – especially after winter storms, when additional snow damage is a constant looming threat.
Here’s how we undo Nature’s Fury in a hurry!
Roof Damage
Winter weather is famously hostile toward Midwestern roofs. Tornadoes are just one extreme example. Hailstones 1″ or wider have enough striking energy to crack shingles and scatter their protective granules. Wind gusts as slow as 40 mph are strong enough to pry shingles loose – especially if they’re older, or weren’t properly installed in the first place. And no matter how well a roof might have been made, it will collapse under enough wet, heavy snow.
We take a two-pronged approach to roof damage here at Angell’s: prevention, and reaction. We prevent roof damage from occurring in the first place by combining high-grade materials and expert craftsmanship. That yields roofs which are well equipped to face Nature’s Fury head on. And when we react to roof damage, we do it with all due speed. Every second a roof stays damaged amounts to greater heat loss and a higher risk of mold infestation.
Siding Damage
Hailstones certainly don’t do any favors to siding, either. Take a look at this before photo from one of our recent restorations if you need proof. Time, sunlight, and rusty gutter fasteners are all natural enemies of siding as well. But of all the weather-related threats siding has to square off against, the wind can be the worst. A strong gust can pry siding off a home’s exterior as easily as a gorilla peels a banana.
As a new construction contractor, we’re used to treating siding installation like it’s just one piece of a big puzzle. We’ve secured a steady supply of product that we know can take a licking and keep on ticking. We’re mighty good at installing it, too. Whether we’re replacing siding that has outlived its lifespan or gotten blown away to a neighboring zip code, we’re here to keep Midwestern homes fully armored against Nature’s Fury.
Window Damage
Shingles are made of fiberglass, asphalt, stone and ceramic. The vinyl used to make siding is hardly fragile, either. But windows? Well, we don’t have to explain why they’re the most vulnerable to Nature’s Fury.
But that’s okay. It doesn’t matter if your window was broken by hail, a flying tree branch, or your own son who better have learned a valuable lesson about playing ball near the house. We’ll make sure you get a long-lasting and energy-efficient replacement that fits your goals and your budget!
