What drives the cost of storm damage repair in Ferndale

- Tree or limb removal before roof work can begin
- Decking, rafter or gutter damage found during repair
- Matching shingles on a partially replaced roof
- Code items required on a re-roof, such as ice barrier
- Your policy deductible and what the insurer approves
- The age of the home: the typical Ferndale home was built around 1945, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time
Before you hire in Ferndale
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Ferndale was built around 1945. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.
Older plumbing and sewer lines
76% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.
Permits: check with the Ferndale building department before work starts.
How to compare storm damage repair quotes
- Photograph damage and report the claim to your insurer before signing any repair contract.
- Verify the roofer's license on the LARA lookup and ask for a local business address.
- Read anything a contractor asks you to sign after a storm. Michigan law may allow you to cancel certain door-to-door sales within three days.
- Get two written estimates and compare them with the adjuster's scope.
- Never pay in cash or in full up front, and keep every receipt.
