Restore Your Building After Storm Damage

Storm Restoration in Des Moines for Buildings With Roof, Siding, or Structural Damage

Brinkerhoff Construction LLC provides storm restoration services in Des Moines for property owners who need to repair or rebuild structures damaged by high winds, hail, heavy rain, or tornadoes. When a storm tears off shingles, punches holes through siding, breaks windows, or compromises the structural integrity of your building, you need a contractor who can assess the damage, work with your insurance adjuster, and return your property to a weathertight and safe condition.

Storm restoration addresses visible damage like missing roofing materials, cracked exterior walls, water intrusion, and broken framing members. The work includes temporary weatherproofing to prevent further damage, followed by permanent repairs or reconstruction that match existing materials and meet current building codes. In Des Moines, where severe weather can strike quickly, responding within days of the event helps minimize secondary damage from moisture infiltration and exposure.

Contact Brinkerhoff Construction LLC to schedule a damage assessment and begin the restoration process for your storm-affected building in Des Moines.

What Happens During a Storm Restoration Project

The restoration process begins with a thorough inspection of your roof, siding, windows, gutters, and structural framing to identify all points of damage. Brinkerhoff Construction LLC documents each issue with photographs and measurements, preparing a detailed scope of work that your insurance carrier can review. Temporary tarping or board-up services protect the interior from rain and wind while materials are ordered and scheduling is coordinated.

Once repairs begin, you will see damaged shingles replaced, siding panels reinstalled, window glass reset, and any compromised framing sistered or rebuilt. The building envelope is sealed, insulation is dried or replaced if saturated, and exterior finishes are restored to match the original appearance. Interior repairs follow, addressing drywall, ceiling tiles, flooring, and finishes affected by water entry.

Storm restoration does not include cosmetic upgrades unrelated to the damage or routine maintenance items that existed before the event. The goal is to return your building to its pre-loss condition using materials and methods that meet or exceed the standards in place when the structure was originally built.
