Storm Damage Restoration in Marietta, GA
24/7 Emergency Tarping, Board-Up, and Full Restoration. We Stop the Damage From Getting Worse First.
A storm can hit your home from every direction at once: wind tears at the roof, rain pours through the opening, trees come down, and water spreads inside. The first job is to stop it from getting worse. We tarp the roof, board up the openings, remove the water, and restore your home. We are a local Marietta team, not an out-of-town truck passing through after the storm.
What to Do Right After Storm Damage
The hours right after a storm decide how bad the damage gets and how much your insurance will pay. Do these things in order, and put safety first.
- Check for danger first. Stay away from downed power lines, gas smells, and any part of the house that looks structurally unsafe.
- Do not climb onto the roof, especially if it is wet or steep. Inspect from the ground.
- Photograph everything before you touch it. Broken shingles, fallen limbs, water spots, roof granules in the gutters. This is the evidence your adjuster needs.
- Move valuables and electronics away from any active leak, and put buckets under drips.
- Arrange emergency tarping or board-up right away to stop more water from getting in.
- Call your insurance company to report the damage.
- Call us. We can tarp, board up, and start the cleanup fast.
Emergency Roof Tarping and Board-Up
This is the most important thing we do after a storm, and it is the step that saves you the most money. A breached roof or a broken window lets rain, wind, and debris keep pouring in. Tarping and board-up stop that, buying time until permanent repairs can be made.
What a proper tarp job looks like
Tarping is not just throwing a tarp over a hole. Done wrong, a loose tarp catches the wind like a sail and tears free, sometimes causing more damage than it prevents. We do it to standard: the tarp extends well past the damaged area and over the ridge, and it is anchored with screwed-down cap boards, not nails or staples, so wind cannot lift it. We reinspect it, especially when more storms are on the way.
Board-up for broken windows and openings
High winds send branches and debris through windows, leaving a direct path for rain, wind, and anyone who should not be in your home. We board up broken windows and other openings with proper panels to keep the weather out and your home secure until permanent repairs are done.

Storm Damage We Restore in Marietta
A single storm can cause several kinds of damage at once. We handle all of it.
Cobb County summer storms bring winds over 60 miles per hour that tear off shingles, lift flashing, and expose the roof deck. Once the roof is breached, rain follows fast.
Marietta's mature oaks and pines are beautiful until a storm brings one down on a roof. Fallen trees and heavy limbs are one of the top causes of serious storm damage in older neighborhoods here.
Wind-driven branches and debris break windows and dent siding, opening the home to rain and wind and creating a security risk.
Even minor roof damage lets water into your attic and ceilings. We handle the resulting roof leak water damage before it spreads through your home.
Heavy storm rain overwhelms drainage and floods basements and crawl spaces. See our basement flooding cleanup and flood damage cleanup.
Hail bruises and cracks shingles in ways that are not always obvious from the ground but shorten your roof's life and open leaks over time.
A Tree Fell on Your House? Here Is What to Do
A tree through the roof is one of the most frightening things a storm can do, and it needs a clear head. Here is the safe path.
- Get everyone out of the rooms under and around the impact. The structure may not be stable.
- Do not try to move the tree or go up to inspect it yourself.
- If you smell gas or see downed power lines tangled in the tree, leave the house and call 911 and your utility.
- Photograph the tree and the damage from a safe distance for your insurance claim.
- Call us. We coordinate safe tree removal, tarp the opening it left, and dry out the interior before mold sets in.
Watch Out for Storm Chasers, and How to Spot Them
Within days of any big Marietta storm, out-of-town contractors flood the neighborhood knocking on doors. Some are honest. Many are what the industry calls storm chasers: crews that follow storms from state to state, do fast, low-quality work, and are long gone before the problems show up.
Reputable local companies get work from calls and referrals, not door-to-door canvassing after a storm.
If they have no Marietta address or local phone number, you cannot hold them accountable when problems appear.
Pressure to sign a contract immediately or "today only" pricing is a manipulation tactic, not a real offer.
Offering to cover your deductible is insurance fraud. Never sign your insurance check over to a contractor.
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage in Marietta?
Usually yes for wind and storm damage. A standard homeowner policy typically covers damage from wind, fallen trees, and rain that enters through a storm-caused opening. The main exception is flooding from rising outside water, which usually needs separate flood insurance. And remember the mitigation rule: you have to protect the home after the storm, or the extra damage from waiting may not be covered.
- We document the damage and moisture from our first visit, in the format adjusters need.
- We provide the record of emergency tarping and board-up, which is usually reimbursable.
- We work directly with your adjuster, and we never ask you to sign your insurance check over to us.
How We Restore Storm Damage
Here is how we work after a storm. For the full step-by-step detail, see our restoration process.
We stop further water and wind from entering, the critical first step.
We map every kind of damage, including hidden water in the attic and walls, with thermal cameras and moisture meters.
We remove any water that got in and dry the structure fully.
We coordinate safe removal of fallen trees, limbs, and storm debris.
We restore the roof, windows, drywall, and everything else, back to the way it was before the storm.
How Much Does Storm Damage Restoration Cost in Marietta?
Storm damage restoration in Marietta varies widely because every storm is different. Emergency tarping typically runs $200 to $600 and is usually reimbursable through insurance. Full restoration depends on the damage, from a few thousand dollars for water cleanup and minor repairs to much more when trees, roofing, and structural work are involved. We give a clear estimate after assessing the damage.
Tarping and water cleanup cost far less than tree removal plus roof and structural repairs.
How much water got in and how far it spread affects extraction, drying, and rebuild cost.
A tree on the roof adds removal and structural repair to the job, which changes the total.
