Storm damage repair in Greater Cincinnati

Fallen tree resting on a house after severe storms in Greater Cincinnati

Huy Contracting repairs storm damage across Greater Cincinnati, from roofs and siding to fallen trees, water inside the house, and concrete washed out by heavy runoff. Call 513-521-4489 and someone comes out to look the same day. A lot of families in Hamilton and Clermont counties are still cleaning up and still waiting on power. The assessment costs nothing and there is no pressure attached to it.

What the August storms did across Greater Cincinnati

Four rounds of severe storms hit the region in a single week, and more rain kept coming behind them. At the peak, Duke Energy reported over 180,000 customers without power across Greater Cincinnati. Hamilton and Clermont counties took the worst of it, with tens of thousands of homes still dark days afterward. Trees came down on houses, garages and vehicles. Roofs lost shingles and whole sections of decking. Repeated heavy rain backed up into basements and cut the ground out from under concrete patios, walkways and driveways.

Flood watches held across Hamilton, Warren, Clermont and Butler counties in Ohio and Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties in Kentucky. Storm debris drop-off sites opened in Anderson Township, Green Township and Colerain Township. If your house came through this with damage, you are standing in a very long line of neighbors dealing with the same thing.

What to do first if your home was damaged

Safety comes before any repair. Stay well clear of downed power lines and anything touching them, and treat every line as live no matter how it looks. Do not walk or drive through standing water. If you smell gas, get out of the house and call the gas company from somewhere else.

Once everyone is safe, photograph the damage before you clean anything up. Take wide shots of the whole house and close shots of each damaged area, and shoot video if you can. Hold on to the damaged materials instead of hauling them off. Write down the date and time the damage happened.

Stay off the roof. Wet shingles and storm-loosened decking are how people get badly hurt in the week after a storm. If you want to know what is actually up there, call Huy Contracting at 513-521-4489 and we will get up there and tell you.

Storm damage we repair

  • Missing or lifted shingles, torn sections, hail bruising, damaged flashing and vents, and full replacement when a patch will not hold.
  • Fallen trees. We remove the tree and repair what it landed on, including roof structure, framing, siding, garages, fences and decks. One company, not two.
  • Siding, soffit, fascia and gutters torn loose, punctured or dented by wind and flying debris.
  • Windows and exterior doors broken or blown out.
  • Concrete undercut or washed out by storm runoff, including patios, walkways, driveway aprons and steps, plus the grading and drainage that let the water get under there in the first place.
  • Decks, porches, railings and outdoor structures.
  • Interior damage where water came in through the roof, a window or a wall.
  • Water in basements and lower levels.

Water damage varies enormously from one house to the next. Call 513-521-4489, describe what you are looking at, and we will tell you straight what Huy Contracting can take on and what needs a different trade first. We would rather point you in the right direction than take a job we are not the right people for.

How quickly we can get to you

Huy Contracting responds to storm damage calls in Greater Cincinnati the same day. Most repairs begin within three to four days, and houses that are open to the weather move to the front of the list. When you call you will get a real timeline instead of a vague promise, and if we cannot get to you as fast as your situation needs, we will tell you that on the phone.

How storm repair works, step by step

  1. You call or send the form. Tell us what happened and what you can see from the ground.
  2. Same-day look. Someone from Huy Contracting comes to the house, walks the property and gets on the roof when it is safe to.
  3. Written scope with photos. You get a document listing every damaged area, what it takes to fix it and what it costs. Itemised, in writing, before anything starts.
  4. Temporary protection. If the house is open and more rain is on the way, we cover it before we leave.
  5. Most work starts inside three to four days. Bigger rebuilds get a scheduled start date you can hold us to.
  6. Walkthrough and cleanup. We go over the finished work with you, then the debris leaves with us.
