You should be sure that you are hiring a contractor who has an extensive amount of experience in storm repair and is certified by the state. It is also a good idea to hire a contractor who has an adequate amount of insurance to cover both yourself and your home if any issues should arise

You should always contact references for any contractor you consider hiring. If references are not possible, then you should look online for reviews. This will help you to get an idea of how the contractor works. Does the contractor act in a professional manner while he or she is on the job? Does the contractor provide skilled work? These are important things to know before you actually decide to hire a contractor.

Always be sure to get an estimate on the work you are hiring the contractor for. You should ask the contractor to come out to your home and survey the damage. After looking at the storm damage, any qualified contractor should be able to provide you with a reasonably set estimate on the work. The estimate will tell you both how much money the work will cost and how much time it will take to complete the work.
