After the storm
Start with the home as it sits.
Slow down, document what changed, protect the home, and avoid signing before the next step is clear.
A note from Tim North.If a contractor shows up unannounced after a storm and pressures you to sign immediately, please don't. Take your time, get documentation, and call someone you trust.
Repair planning
Connect visible damage to the exterior.
Roof edges, siding transitions, trim, gutters, and openings all affect how water moves.
What we look at after a storm
Our assessment process
Four steps. No pressure. No same-day signatures required.
After a storm, we use a consistent assessment process instead of a sales script.
2
Photo documentation
Every observation gets a photo. The packet is yours.
3
Repair-vs-replace decision
We recommend repair where it makes sense; replacement when damage warrants it.
4
Insurance-claim guidance handoff
If damage may be claim-eligible, we explain the process without promising approval.
Roof-first inspection
Most storm inspections begin at the roof edge and work down.
Connecticut storm context
Nor'easters, ice dams, and summer wind events drive most of our storm work.
Connecticut storms don't all look the same. A nor'easter dropping wet heavy snow has different aftermath than a summer microburst or an early-fall hurricane remnant.
Nor'easter aftermath
Wet snow and ice dams often damage valleys, soffits, and gutters.
Summer microburst / wind event
Sudden wind can lift shingles, damage flashing, and tear siding.
Hurricane remnant
Sustained wind and rain can damage roofs, siding, and wall cavities.
Calm rules
What to do in the first 48 hours after damage.
These rules protect you from rushed decisions and bad documentation.
- 1
Document damage before signing anything.
- 2
Do not accept same-day pressure.
- 3
Get a second opinion if rushed.
- 4
Save photos, weather, and visit notes.
Insurance claim path
If the damage is claim-eligible, here's how it usually goes.
We do not run the claim. We provide contractor documentation for the carrier conversation.
Talk to Northern Limits
Storm damage needs calm. Not a same-day signature.
We document carefully and never pressure a contract on the spot.
