What to do first
- Check that everyone is safe. Stay well away from downed power lines and anything touching them, and report them to your power company.
- Do not cut or move a large tree that is on the house or on wires yourself.
- From the ground, take dated photos of the roof, siding, fence, garage door and any fallen trees.
- If the roof or a window is open to the weather, cover it with a tarp or plywood only if you can do it safely.
- Before you sign with a contractor: get a written estimate, check their license with your state, and do not pay the full price up front.
