We provide 24/7 emergency tarping and board-up, water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention and interior reconstruction, and we document everything for your insurance claim. Call (719) 676-2456.

Stop the Water First

After a hailstorm or high wind, the damage you can see on the roof is only part of the problem. Water gets into attic insulation, ceilings and walls, and it keeps coming in with every rain until the opening is covered. Our first job is to stop it: emergency tarps over damaged roofing, boards over broken windows and doors, and extraction of any standing water.

Our Storm Damage Process

1. Emergency tarping and board-up — We secure the building against the next storm. 2. Inspection — Moisture meters and thermal imaging find water in ceilings, walls and insulation that isn't visible yet. 3. Extraction and tear-out — We remove standing water and saturated insulation, drywall and flooring that can't be dried in place. 4. Structural drying — Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, with daily moisture readings logged for your claim. 5. Interior rebuild — Drywall, texture, paint, flooring and trim to put the inside back the way it was.

Southern Colorado Storm Season

Colorado sits in the heart of the country's hail belt. May through September brings hail and wind across the Front Range and Pueblo County, and July through September brings monsoon downpours and flash flooding in Trinidad, Walsenburg and the foothills. Winter brings heavy wet snow and ice dams that push water under shingles. If a storm has damaged your home or business, photograph everything before anything is moved, then call us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you replace roofs?

We handle the emergency tarp and everything inside the building: water removal, drying and interior rebuild. For the roof replacement itself, you'll need a roofer. Tell us if you don't have one yet.

Does insurance cover hail and storm damage?

Most homeowners policies cover sudden wind and hail damage, including the water that gets in because of it. We document the damage with photos and moisture readings, and we bill most carriers directly.

How soon after a storm should I call?

Right away. Wet insulation and drywall can start growing mold within 24 to 48 hours, and an open roof lets more water in with every storm.

What should I do before you arrive?

If it's safe, move valuables away from leaks, put buckets under drips, and take photos of the damage outside and inside. Don't climb onto a damaged roof.

Do you work on commercial buildings after storms?

Yes. We handle storm water damage in commercial buildings and can schedule the work around your operating hours.
