What Our Storm Damage Customers Say
The Cost of Ignoring Storm Damage
A storm rolls through and your home looks fine from the street. Here is what might be happening:
- Hidden hail damage: Even small hail dents asphalt shingles and knocks off the protective granule coating, accelerating wear and reducing your roof’s effective lifespan by years.
- Wind-lifted shingles: High winds can partially lift shingles without fully removing them, creating gaps where water infiltrates during the next rain event.
- Compromised siding: Hail and wind debris dent, crack, and puncture siding materials, allowing moisture to reach the sheathing underneath.
- Gutter damage: Hail flattens and dents gutters, reducing their ability to channel water away from your foundation.
- Voided warranties: Many manufacturer warranties require prompt reporting and repair of storm damage. Delayed action can cost you coverage you paid for.
The longer storm damage goes unaddressed in a Wisconsin or Minnesota climate, the more expensive the repair becomes.

Midwest Storm Damage Is a Four-Season Problem
Different types of weather threaten your home throughout the year.
Spring and summer
Severe thunderstorms bring golf-ball-sized hail, straight-line winds exceeding 70 mph, and tornado activity across both states. The National Weather Service reports that Wisconsin and Minnesota average dozens of significant hail events every year between April and September.
Fall
Heavy rain and early freeze events stress gutters, flashings, and aging rooflines before winter sets in.
Winter
Ice dams form when heat escapes through the roof, melting snow that refreezes at the eaves. Left unchecked, ice dams force water under shingles and into your home’s structure.
Spring thaw
Freeze-thaw cycles expand and contract any existing cracks or gaps, turning minor damage into major repairs by the time the ground thaws.
If your home has been through a recent storm event and you have not had a professional inspection, there is a real chance damage exists that you cannot see from the ground. From Eau Claire to Hudson in Wisconsin and St. Paul to Stillwater in Minnesota, we bring the same local expertise to every project.

Storm Damage FAQs
What should my first steps be after storm damage?
Start by documenting what you can safely see from the ground with photos and notes. Do not climb onto your roof. Call Krumm Exteriors to schedule a professional inspection as soon as possible. We document the damage properly for your insurance claim and can arrange emergency temporary repairs if needed to prevent further water infiltration.
Will Krumm Exteriors help with the insurance process?
Yes, completely. We walk alongside you through every step of the insurance claims process — from helping you understand your policy and filing your claim to attending the adjuster meeting and communicating directly with your insurance company. Our goal is to make sure you receive the full benefits you are entitled to under your policy.
What temporary repairs might be necessary after a storm?
Depending on the damage, temporary repairs can include roof tarping, boarding up broken windows, securing damaged siding sections, and stabilizing any structural elements at immediate risk. These repairs prevent further damage while your full restoration is planned and your insurance claim is processed. They are often reimbursable by your insurance company.
What types of storm damage does Krumm Exteriors handle?
We repair hail damage, wind damage, ice dam damage, fallen tree and debris damage, and water infiltration resulting from storm events. We work on roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and full exterior restorations for both residential and select commercial properties across Wisconsin and Minnesota.
How do you determine the extent of storm damage?
Our storm damage specialists conduct a thorough inspection of your entire exterior, including the roof, siding, gutters, windows, and flashings. We document all findings with detailed photos and written reports that capture damage not visible from the ground, which is especially important for hail damage claims.
How do you assist with filing and managing insurance claims?
We help you understand your coverage, gather all necessary documentation, complete claim paperwork accurately, and communicate with your insurance company throughout the process. We also attend the adjuster meeting to make sure all damage is fairly and accurately assessed.
What should I expect during the insurance adjuster’s visit?
Our team will be present with you during the adjuster visit to make sure every item of damage is identified and documented. We bring our own inspection findings and photos to support your claim and advocate for a fair and complete assessment on your behalf.
How long does the storm damage restoration process take?
Timeline depends on the scope of damage, the materials required, and the speed of your insurance claim approval. Most residential restorations are completed within one to two weeks once materials are on hand and the claim is approved. We provide a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.
