Stop Losing Heat Through Your Ceiling

Advanced Home Solutions assesses and repairs damage to roofs and siding caused by hail, high winds, falling branches, and severe weather events that leave your home exposed to leaks and further deterioration. You contact us after a storm when shingles are missing, siding panels are dented or torn off, or you notice granules from your roof shingles scattered across the driveway and yard. We work directly with insurance companies to document the damage, provide detailed estimates, and complete the repairs or replacements covered under your policy, which reduces the back-and-forth and keeps the process moving.

Our approach starts with a full inspection of the roof, siding, gutters, and other exterior components to identify all storm-related damage, including problems that are not immediately visible from the ground. We take photos, measurements, and notes that match the format insurance adjusters expect, and we can be present during the adjuster's visit to make sure nothing gets overlooked. Once the claim is approved, we schedule the work and handle everything from securing permits to ordering materials and completing the installation so your home is weathertight again.

What Storm Damage Restoration Includes

We begin by tarping or securing any areas that are actively leaking to prevent water from spreading through the attic or walls, then we document the extent of the damage with photographs and written descriptions that align with the coverage terms in your policy. You will see us checking for hail impacts on shingles, dents in metal flashing and vents, cracked or punctured siding, and damage to fascia, soffit, and trim that might not be covered unless it is clearly linked to the storm event.

When the restoration is complete, your roof will be watertight with new shingles or panels installed to match the rest of the house, your siding will be free of dents and cracks, and you will not see any gaps or openings where wind and rain can get in. Advanced Home Solutions replaces damaged gutters, downspouts, and flashing as part of the restoration, and we make sure all repairs meet the standards required by your insurance carrier and local building codes.

We do not handle interior repairs such as drywall or painting, but we can recommend contractors who specialize in that work, and we coordinate our schedule so exterior repairs are finished before interior restoration begins. The timeline depends on the scope of damage and the insurance approval process, but most projects are completed within two to four weeks once materials are on site and weather permits.

Homeowners in Duluth often ask how to file a claim and what the restoration process looks like from inspection to final payment.

Questions About Storm Damage and Insurance

What type of spray foam should I use in my attic?

Closed-cell foam provides the highest R-value per inch and blocks moisture, making it ideal for unvented attic assemblies or homes with past leak issues, while open-cell foam costs less and works well when you need sound dampening and some vapor movement.

How much will insulation reduce my heating bill?

An adjuster will visit the property to assess the damage and determine what is covered under your policy, and we can be there to walk through the findings and make sure all storm-related issues are documented.

Why do I still have ice dams after adding insulation?

Coverage depends on your policy terms, deductible, and the age of your roof, but we provide estimates that match the scope the adjuster approves so there are no surprises when the claim is settled.

When is the best time to insulate an attic in Duluth?

Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for spray foam application, since the material cures more predictably in moderate temperatures and your attic is easier to access without snow on the roof.

How long does spray foam insulation last?

Closed-cell and open-cell spray foam maintain their insulating properties for the life of your home as long as they are not exposed to prolonged water infiltration or physical damage from pests or construction work.
