STORM RESPONSE EXPERTS
Storm Restoration Across MN & WI
When severe weather rolls through Stillwater, Oak Park Heights, Hudson, or anywhere across the east metro and western Wisconsin, Buildtec is who local homeowners call. We've handled thousands of storm restoration projects for roofs and siding, from minor hail dings to full home restoration after major events.
Most storm damage isn't obvious from the ground. Granule loss, fractured shingles, dented siding, cracked seals. It takes a trained eye to spot what insurance will actually cover. We do a careful inspection, document everything with photos and detailed reports, and help you make sense of what you're really dealing with.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Signs of Storm Damage
If you suspect a recent storm did damage, here's what to check. Some signs are obvious. Most aren't.
Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
Granules collecting in gutters or near downspouts
Dents or bruises on shingles (often round from hail)
Damaged or bent flashing around vents and chimneys
Sagging spots or warped roof sections
Daylight visible through attic boards or sheathing
Cracks, holes, or visible dents in panels
Loose, hanging, or detached sections
Chipped paint or faded patches
Dents in metal around windows, doors, and gutters
Bent or damaged trim and corner pieces
New water stains on interior walls or ceilings
Spot any of these? Don't wait. Most insurance policies have a time limit for filing storm claims, and damage can get worse if it's not addressed.
YOUR NEXT STEPS
What to Do After a Storm
Take a breath. Storm restoration is a process, but it's a manageable one. Here's how it works from your end.
Document What You Can See
Walk the perimeter of your home, take photos of anything obviously damaged, and note the date and time of the storm. Stay off the roof. We'll handle the dangerous part.
Schedule Your Free Inspection
Call us or submit the form. We'll be on-site within 24 hours to do a thorough inspection of everything the storm touched, even the damage you can't see from the ground.
File Your Claim & Meet Your Adjuster
With our detailed inspection report in hand, we'll have everything we need to file a strong claim. When your adjuster comes out, we meet them at your home and walk the damage together so nothing gets missed.
We Handle the Restoration
Once your claim is approved, we get to work. Quality materials, certified installation, regular updates throughout the project, and a final walkthrough to make sure everything's right.
CLAIM SUPPORT
We're With You, Start to Finish
Storm damage can feel overwhelming. One day everything's fine, the next you're staring at missing shingles or damaged siding wondering where to start. That's where we come in.
We walk you through the process from beginning to end. If you're unsure whether to file a claim, we'll inspect and explain your options. If a claim makes sense, we help you contact your insurance, provide documentation, and meet the adjuster at your home so you're not navigating it alone. If additional information is requested later, we handle the back-and-forth until a decision is made.
Once your project is approved, the fun part begins. We help you explore colors, materials, and design choices that can completely refresh how your home looks. Many homeowners discover that storm restoration becomes a chance to improve curb appeal too.
Throughout the project, you'll know what's happening and when. We communicate timelines, keep the site clean, and walk the property with you at completion to make sure everything meets expectations. From the first inspection to the final cleanup, we're with you every step.
Will my insurance cover the damage?
Most homeowner policies cover storm-related damage, but specifics vary by carrier and policy. We'll help you understand what's typically covered and what to expect from your claim.
What if the adjuster misses something?
It happens. When we spot damage that wasn't included in the original scope, we file a supplement with your insurance to get it added. We handle the paperwork and back it up with photo documentation.
What do I pay out of pocket?
Usually just your deductible. Once the claim is approved, insurance typically covers the restoration costs above that amount. We work directly with your insurance to handle the paperwork.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Storm Damage FAQs
Most storm inspections happen same day or within 24 hours of your call. After major regional events, response times may extend slightly, but we prioritize active leaks and urgent cases first. Call us as soon as you suspect damage.
Most policies require claims to be filed within a specific window after the damage occurs, often 30 to 60 days, though this varies by carrier and policy. Check your policy or call your agent. The sooner you start, the better.
Denied claims happen, but they're not always final. With thorough documentation and a clear damage report, many initial denials can be reinspected successfully. We'll help you understand your options and provide the documentation needed for a reconsideration.
Yes. We've worked with virtually every major homeowner's insurance carrier serving Minnesota and Wisconsin. Our role is to document the damage thoroughly and make the process smooth, regardless of who your insurer is.
Actual Cash Value (ACV) policies pay the current value at time of loss. Replacement Cost Value (RCV) policies pay the full cost to replace damaged property with comparable new materials. Check your policy or ask your agent which coverage you carry.
It's helpful but not always required. For exterior-only inspections (roof, siding, gutters), we can usually handle the visit without you being home. We'll always communicate findings clearly afterward and walk you through the report.
