Hiring Contractors in Storm-Prone Areas: A Quick Tip to Save You Headaches

Something I learned the hard way after the last big storm—we had some roof damage, nothing too crazy thankfully—but when you're hiring contractors afterward, always double-check if they're certified for storm damage repairs. A neighbor got burned pretty bad by someone who claimed experience but didn't actually have the right credentials. Just ask upfront about their certifications or check online reviews mentioning storm work specifically. Anyone else got handy tips or experiences dealing with contractors after storms?
