š©ļø After Wednesdayās Hail Storm ā Please Read & Stay Alert šØ
This weekās catastrophic hail event in Wausau and surrounding areas left many homes with damage, and while we focus on cleaning up and getting repairs started, itās important to be extra cautious over the coming days.
Storms like this often bring in āstorm chasersā ā out-of-town contractors who go door-to-door offering quick repairs. While some may seem helpful, many are unlicensed, uninsured, or even fraudulent.
š Please be cautious and protect yourself:
ā ļø What NOT to do:
ā Donāt rush into signing any contracts on the spot
ā Donāt pay cash or large deposits upfront
ā Donāt trust unsolicited door knockers claiming they ānoticed damageā
ā Donāt let anyone inspect your roof without verifying who they are
ā Donāt feel pressured by ālimited timeā or āinsurance will cover everythingā claims
ā
What you SHOULD do:
āļø Work with local, reputable, licensed, and insured contractors
āļø Ask for references and check online reviews
āļø Contact your trusted insurance advisors to talk through estimates before starting repairs
āļø Take photos of your damage for documentation
āļø Get multiple estimates before making a decision
š” Remember: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Letās look out for one anotherāespecially our neighbors who may be more vulnerableāand make sure everyone avoids further hardship after an already difficult storm.
We are here for you! šTeam Axis
