Siding damage assessment is often done to support an insurance claim. It's particularly useful after storms, which is why they are sometimes referred to as storm damage assessments. During this process, a siding expert carefully inspects your property, takes digital photos, and helps prepare a repair estimate you can share with your insurance company.
Another great reason for an assessment is before selling your home. It helps show potential buyers the value of your home, and gives you an idea of a fair selling price. In fact, you may even request a bit more with a thorough assessment report. For a siding damage assessment, contact Storm Guard at a location near you!
