Sometimes we get unlucky - in this case high winds took off part of my home’s roof and damaged a chimney. Was I highly expressive in my annoyance with creative language? Yes. Does the timing stink? Yes (I have another large home project coming up) Did I panic? No! We have homeowner insurance for a reason. I have a network of licensed professionals who do great work. I am lucky to be in this profession to have those resources.
If you were hit with storm damage, lean into your professionals - get referrals (👋), ask for help, reach out to your insurance to see if a claim makes sense. Don’t go with the folks door knocking - many times they are scammy companies - good roofers were out all weekend tarping and repairing. It’s ok to panic but you aren’t alone - it will be ok.
