First the storm. Then us.

Nor’easters, microbursts, and February ice have been testing this coast for centuries. Since 1991, the morning after has belonged to our tarp crews — and to homeowners who knew which number to call.

If water is coming in as you read this —

Move valuables, set a container under the drip, poke a small hole in any bulging ceiling paint (it prevents a collapse), and call us. A human answers at 3am. We mean that literally.

Tarp & stabilize

Reinforced tarps, battened — not bricks and hope. The bleeding stops, and your insurer sees professional mitigation.

Often billable to insurance
D1–3

Document everything

Drone photos, moisture readings, and an estimate written in the line-item language insurance adjusters use natively.

Claim-ready package

Restore

We walk the roof with your adjuster, file supplements when they miss things (they do), and rebuild better than pre-storm.

Insurance, translated

We speak fluent adjuster.

Storm claims fail on documentation, not damage. After three decades of them, we know exactly what your carrier needs to see — and what they’ll quietly leave out of the first offer.

  • Date-stamped evidence. Drone imagery and moisture readings from before we touch anything.
  • Carrier-format estimates. Line items in the same software language adjusters use, so nothing is “miscellaneous.”
  • The adjuster walk. We’re on the roof with them, pointing at every crease, bruise, and lifted tab.
  • Supplement filing. When the first scope misses code-required items, we file the paperwork that gets them paid.
  • And the line we won’t cross: nobody here will “waive your deductible” or inflate a claim. That’s fraud, it voids your policy, and honest carriers know our name for the right reasons.

Know your enemy

What the weather actually does up there.

W

Wind

Creased tabs and lifted ridge caps — invisible from the lawn, an open door for the next rain. 60mph is all it takes.

H

Hail

Bruises the mat under the granules. The roof looks fine; it fails three winters later. Drone macro shots catch it now.

I

Ice dams

Meltwater refreezes at the eave and backs up under shingles. The fix is ventilation and barrier — we do both.

D

Debris

One branch, one puncture, one wet attic. Tarp first, photograph second, argue with nobody — the evidence does it.

Quick answers

Storm questions.

Us — not because of loyalty, but sequence. Mitigation (tarping) is your policy obligation and can’t wait for an adjuster. And a documented professional inspection before you file means your claim opens with evidence instead of a guess. We’ll tell you honestly if the damage isn’t worth a claim at all.

Weather claims are treated differently from negligence claims, and in Massachusetts carriers generally can’t surcharge you for an act-of-God loss. But it varies by policy — we’ll lay out what we found so you and your agent can make the call with real numbers.

Maybe! But storm-chasing crews that follow weather maps across state lines won’t be here when the warranty matters. Get their opinion in writing, then get ours free — we’ve been at the same address since 1964, and we’ll still be here when the check clears and long after.
