We restore storm damage 24 hours a day in Tillamook County.

Manzanita is exposed to the powerful storms that blow in from the Pacific Ocean. These strong wind storms can wreak havoc on properties, causing damage from flying projectiles. Our local team in Yamhill and Tillamook Counties responds to wind damage emergencies every year and offers these tips from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for preventing wind damage:

Fortify Your Roof

Your roof is your first line of defense in a high-wind event. Re-adhere any loose shingles and consider impact-resistant shingles when installing a roof. Install roof strappings to anchor the roof framing to the wall framings so the wind can’t lift your roof off your house.

Trim or Remove Dead, Damaged, or Rotting Trees and Limbs

High winds can cause trees and branches to fall. Make sure any damaged trees on the property are trimmed or removed regularly. Your home should be at least a full-grown tree’s height away from the base of any tree, usually about 40 feet away.

Secure Objects Outside the Home

Loose shingles, your dog’s house, trash cans, and sports equipment can be picked up by the wind and cause damage to your home. Secure outdoor objects like furniture, gutters, and downspouts.
