🌩️ After Wednesday’s Hail Storm – Please Read & Stay Alert 🚨
This week’s catastrophic hail event in Wausau and surrounding areas left many homes with damage, and while we focus on cleaning up and getting repairs started, it’s important to be extra cautious over the coming days.
Storms like this often bring in “storm chasers” — out-of-town contractors who go door-to-door offering quick repairs. While some may seem helpful, many are unlicensed, uninsured, or even fraudulent.
👉 Please be cautious and protect yourself:
⚠️ What NOT to do:
❌ Don’t rush into signing any contracts on the spot
❌ Don’t pay cash or large deposits upfront
❌ Don’t trust unsolicited door knockers claiming they “noticed damage”
❌ Don’t let anyone inspect your roof without verifying who they are
❌ Don’t feel pressured by “limited time” or “insurance will cover everything” claims
âś… What you SHOULD do:
✔️ Work with local, reputable, licensed, and insured contractors
✔️ Ask for references and check online reviews
✔️ Contact your trusted insurance advisors to talk through estimates before starting repairs
✔️ Take photos of your damage for documentation
✔️ Get multiple estimates before making a decision
đź’ˇ Remember: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Let’s look out for one another—especially our neighbors who may be more vulnerable—and make sure everyone avoids further hardship after an already difficult storm.
