Storm Damage Restoration in Detroit: what to expect
Storm damage restoration in Detroit follows summer thunderstorms, straight-line winds, hail and the occasional tornado warning, plus winter ice storms that bring down limbs and power lines. The damage is often a mix: a tree through the roof, missing shingles, broken windows and rain getting inside. A restoration company secures the house first, then dries and cleans the interior.
Emergency work includes roof tarping, board-up, tree removal from the structure (with a tree service or crane when needed) and interior water extraction. Once secured, the damage is documented for your insurer and repairs are scoped. After big storms, Metro Detroit sees out-of-area contractors going door to door; take time to compare local pros and verify licenses even when you feel rushed.
Roof repairs go to storm damage roofers. For interior water, see water damage restoration. Compare all storm restoration companies in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.

Licensing, permits and insurance in Michigan
Temporary tarping and board-up do not usually need a permit, but roof replacement, structural repairs and most window and siding replacement do. In Detroit, permits come from BSEED; elsewhere, from the city or township building department. Michigan DIFS advises contacting your insurer before hiring a contractor and verifying licenses, references and insurance, and notes adjusters should never ask you for payment.
Rebuilding a home after the cleanup (drywall, framing, flooring, cabinets) is residential construction. Paid work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA Residential Builder or Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license, so ask whether the restoration company holds one or hands the rebuild to a licensed contractor, and check the number on the LARA lookup.
