Storm damage in Long Lake, Minnesota

Severe storm on August 8 in Long Lake, MN

The severe wind in the Long Lake area on Saturday night left many trees blown down and houses damaged. 

After a storm, affected neighborhoods are usually inundated with canvassers hired by contractors who go door to door and try to get homeowners to sign a contract for any necessary repairs.  Many people sign up on the spot, without first checking out the company and without realizing they’re committing to have the work done by that company.  Many of these contractors are not really local companies.  They often rent an office space temporarily and hire doorknockers from the area.

A more reliable way to find a quality local contractor would be to check out contractors that neighbors or friends have been satisfied with.  These contractors have probably worked in your area for years, not just during the last few storm seasons.  Checking with the Better Business Bureau and a referral service, like Angie’s List, would also be helpful in your search.

Shingles can be damaged by hail or high winds and windows and siding can be dented by hail or flying debris.

Have your home inspected by a contractor that has worked in your area for many years, has a high rating with the BBB, and is willing to give you names and addresses of satisfied customers nearby.
