What Michigan storms do to Warren homes
Warren takes the full menu of Michigan weather — summer thunderstorms with straight-line winds and hail, downpours that overwhelm storm drains, and winter ice storms that drop limbs and knock out power. The city’s older neighborhoods carry two extra vulnerabilities: mature street trees planted when the subdivisions went up, now sixty-plus years old and heavy over rooflines, and the low-slope roofs on postwar ranches that let wind get under shingles and meltwater pool behind ice. When the same storm floods the storm sewers, water comes at the house from above and below at once.
The first job after any storm is stopping the intrusion: emergency roof tarping over wind and hail damage, board-up where a limb came through, and extraction wherever water got in. Then we dry the structure to the IICRC S500 standard with documented moisture readings, and because we’re a licensed general contractor as well as a restoration firm, the same team carries the job through the roof repair and interior rebuild on your insurance claim — no gap between the company that dried it and the company that fixes it.
And when a storm rakes across Macomb County, being based on Gilbert Drive in Warren matters twice: we reach Warren homes first, and we’re still here after the storm chasers leave town. Same shop, same phone number, same crew standing behind the work.

- 24/7 emergency roof tarping and board-up to stop water intrusion

Wind damage on a Warren roof — once the shingles lift, every rain finds its way in.
What Warren storms throw at homes
- Wind damage — straight-line gusts lift shingles and peel siding on the low-slope postwar rooflines
- Hail damage — bruised shingles and dented vents that leak months later, invisible from the driveway
- Fallen trees and limbs — Warren’s mature street trees are beautiful and heavy; when one comes down on a ranch roof, we board, tarp, and rebuild
- Storm roof leaks — water through opened roofing soaks attic insulation and ceilings before anyone sees a drip
- Storm-flooded basements — downpours that outrun Warren’s storm sewers back water into the lowest level of the house
- Outage sump-pump failures — the storm that brings the water also cuts the power to the pump holding it back

Warren Storm Damage FAQ
A storm just damaged my roof — what should I do first?
Stay off the roof and out of any room with a sagging ceiling, take photos of what you can safely see, and call us — getting a tarp over the opening before the next rain is what separates a roof repair from a whole-interior water loss. Don’t throw anything away before it’s documented; your claim is built on that evidence.
Should I hire one of the storm repair crews knocking on doors?
Be careful. After every big hail or wind event, out-of-town crews canvass Metro Detroit, collect insurance checks, and are gone before the first warranty issue. Whoever you hire, verify a Michigan builder’s license, a local address, and reviews with history. We’ve been at the same Warren shop for years — if something ever needs attention after the job, you know exactly where to find us.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm and flood damage?
Wind, hail, and fallen-tree damage are covered perils on standard policies, including the interior water damage that follows a storm-opened roof. Water that backs up through drains usually requires a sewer-backup endorsement, and rising groundwater flooding needs separate flood coverage. It comes down to how the water got in — which is exactly what we document. We scope the loss the way adjusters require and bill your carrier directly.
A tree fell on my house — whose insurance pays?
In most storm cases, yours — your policy covers damage to your home no matter whose yard the tree grew in, and your insurer may pursue the neighbor’s carrier afterward if negligence was involved. Either way, the first steps are the same: secure the opening, stop the water, document everything. We handle all three the same day you call.
