02 Sep Hurricane Erika Cuts the Southeast a Break
Luckily, Hurricane Erika has decided to cut us some slack here in the Southeast. While we’re still seeing heavy rain and some severe flooding on the coast, we’ve been spared the intensity seen in the Caribbean. Hurricane Erika won’t be the last storm of the season, though; there are currently three Category 4 hurricanes in the Pacific and Hurricane Fred is already rolling over Cape Verde in the Atlantic, before Charleston has even had the chance to dry out from Hurricane Erika. With every hurricane that makes landfall in the southeastern US comes the same risk to your home, so don’t be caught off guard.
Roofing Scams
Last week, we talked about roofing scams and the “traveling roofers” who depend on them. Hurricane season, even more so than hail season, is prime time for these guys; they swoop in, door-to-door, the day after a storm clears and take advantage of the turmoil homeowner’s are experiencing. They’ll slap on a cheap roof using poor quality shingles and overcharge, only to run off into the sunset, never to be heard from again.
We come from Hurricane Country, so we know how it feels to open the front door and see pieces of our home littering the front yard. We’ve experienced the frustration of torn siding, mangled gutters, and broken glass firsthand. We’re not in this business to make a quick buck; we’re in it because we’ve been there and we want to make your life easier and keep your home safe. That’s why, after a severe storm, Reeves tarps roofs free of charge, protecting our homeowners’ roofs from any additional damage while their insurance company is processing the claim. It’s also why, when it comes to the insurance, we make the call and handle the entire claim alongside our homeowners, so they don’t have to do it alone. We always walk step-by-step through the entire process with you, from adjustment meetings to fallen tree cleanup, because, once again, we’ve been in your shoes.
At Reeves, we’ve chosen to help you prepare for storms before they happen, rather than overwhelm you with paperwork and numbers afterward, when you have to deal with the aftermath of one of Hurricane Erika’s particularly vengeful siblings. Next time a hurricane is headed for your town, don’t wait for the “hurricane sharks” to come banging down your door in the fallout; be prepared with Reeves, before the storms happen. Give us a call at (864)574-1290 or check out our website at ReevesRoofandGutters.com; we would love the opportunity to answer all your questions before the storm hits, because whether we’re dealing with winds and rains that rival Hurricane Frances or a smaller storm like Hurricane Erika, we believe every roof, every time is just as important as our own and every homeowner is just an extended a part of the Reeves family.
