Storm Damage? Here’s What Minnesota & Wisconsin Homeowners and HOAs Should Do Next

When a powerful storm rolls through your neighborhood, it can leave more than just a mess—it can cause serious damage to your home’s exterior. At Connell’s Custom Exteriors, we specialize in storm damage repair in Minnesota, helping both individual homeowners and HOA communities recover quickly and effectively.

If you’re wondering what to do after a storm hits, follow these essential steps to protect your property and avoid costly repairs later.

1. Ensure Immediate Safety

Before inspecting any damage, check for downed power lines, broken trees, or unstable structures. Safety should always be the top priority.

2. Inspect Your Roof for Storm Damage

Storms with high winds and hail can severely damage roofing systems. From the ground, look for:

• Missing shingles

• Lifted or curled edges

• Hail dents or granule loss

If you notice any of these issues, schedule a professional roof inspection with a trusted contractor like Connell’s Custom Exteriors. We provide free roof inspections in Minnesota after storms to help you assess the damage properly.

3. Check Your Siding and Gutters

Strong storms often impact more than just the roof. Be sure to examine:

• Vinyl or LP siding for dents, cracks, or holes

• Gutters for sagging, clogging, or breakage

• Water stains around soffits and fascia

We offer complete siding repair and replacement services and gutter system evaluations to restore your exterior quickly.

4. Take Photos of the Damage

Document any damage with clear photos and videos. This is crucial for filing a storm damage insurance claim and can help speed up the process.

5. Contact Your Insurance Company

File a claim as soon as possible. Insurance companies often require documentation and a contractor’s damage report. Our team works closely with adjusters to ensure you receive the coverage you're entitled to.
