What to Do After Storm Damage in Portland
You just survived another Portland windstorm. Shingles are in your yard, and your stomach is in knots. Here’s the exact step-by-step plan we give every homeowner who calls us after a storm.
Stay Safe (Do This First)
Never climb a wet or damaged roof. Take photos from the ground with your phone. Use binoculars if you have them.
Document Everything
Take clear pictures and short videos right away. Note the date, time, and weather. This helps you later if you ever talk to insurance.
Make a Temporary Fix (If Safe)
If you can reach the area from a sturdy ladder, secure a heavy-duty tarp with sandbags or boards. Do NOT use cheap plastic — it rips in the next rain.
Call a Local Roofer (Not a Storm Chaser)
Contact a trusted Portland-area company like us within 24–48 hours. We don’t do emergency tarping, but we’ll schedule you quickly for a proper inspection.
Get a Written Assessment
We walk the roof, show you exactly what happened, and give you a clear written proposal — no pressure, no surprises.
Decide & Schedule
Most storm damage in our area is repairable. If it’s widespread, we’ll walk you through replacement options using premium asphalt shingles built for Portland weather.
We serve homes within 20–30 miles of downtown Portland. Call (503) 408-7112 or fill out the short form — we’ll get you on the schedule fast.
