🚨4 Post-Storm Tips Every Homeowner Should Know🚨
Avoid these red flags!
We hope everyone made it through the storm okay.
We know storms can be stressful, but the decisions you make after the storm matter most.
Here are 4 simple tips every homeowner should know to protect themselves after a storm.
Share this with friends or neighbors who might need it.
1. Be cautious of “deductible assistance.”
If anyone offers to “cover your deductible,” that’s illegal in Texas and a common red flag you should avoid.
2. Don’t sign with the first person you meet.
Interview at least 2–3 reputable companies before you choose.
Remember, you're hiring a company to work FOR YOU.
Every expectation and detail should be lined out before signing.
3. Door-knocking will get aggressive. Protect your peace.
You’re about to get more knocks than a UPS driver in December.
Put a handwritten note on the door:
"Please, don't knock- we've decided on a company
OR
our personal favorite...
“Please don’t knock. Baby’s sleeping.”
It works. (We dare a contractor to test it.)
4. Document everything, and protect your home early.
Take photos of any damage you see: shingles on the ground, debris impacts, interior stains, anything.
If your roof is open in areas, use tarps to protect your home right away.
Insurance companies typically reimburse homeowners for temporary protection, because it helps prevent further damage.
🙌We hope these tips help our Houston communities stay protected.
Storms can take a real toll on homeowners, and it’s easy to feel rushed or vulnerable when you’re trying to get things fixed quickly.
That’s when bad practices tend to slip through.
