Storm Damage Restoration in Washougal, WA

What happens when you call

Our storm damage restoration process in Washougal

Storm damage jobs prioritize emergency stabilization first to prevent compounding damage, then mitigation, then full restoration.

1. 01

   Right away

   Emergency dispatch and stabilization

   We dispatch the moment you call (during active storm conditions, crew safety can delay arrival). Lead tech assesses urgent stabilization needs — roof tarping, window board-up, fallen tree assessment. Stabilization happens in the first visit when conditions allow.

2. 02

   Hour 4–24

   Water mitigation and damage documentation

   If water intruded, we extract and start drying. We document every angle of damage with photos, measurements, and scope notes — this is the basis of the insurance claim. Even minor-looking storm damage often has significant hidden damage we surface during assessment.

3. 03

   Days 1–3

   Trade coordination

   Storm damage often requires multiple trades — roofer, arborist, electrician, plumber. We coordinate scheduling so the job moves forward without you managing 4 contractors. As a general contractor, we own the schedule.

4. 04

   Days 3–7

   Drying and demolition

   Continued structural drying. Removal of materials too damaged to save — wet drywall, swollen flooring, damaged framing, contaminated insulation. Documentation of disposal for insurance.

5. 05

   Weeks 1–6

   Reconstruction

   We rebuild the affected areas — drywall, framing, insulation, paint, flooring, trim, sometimes exterior siding and roofing depending on scope. Storm reconstruction can run 2–6 weeks for typical residential damage; major structural rebuilds can take longer.

6. 06

   Completion

   Final walkthrough and insurance closeout

   Property is walked, paperwork submitted, claim closed, payment confirmed. One company, one timeline, one warranty.

What makes TIK different for storm damage

• 01

  Emergency stabilization on first arrival

  Many restoration companies show up, scope the job, and come back tomorrow with crews. We tarp and board up on the first visit when conditions allow. Stabilization-while-scoping prevents 24 hours of compounded damage.

• 02

  Trade coordination as a GC

  Storm damage often involves roofers, arborists, electricians, sometimes structural engineers. We're licensed general contractors in WA and OR — we coordinate the trades so you don't manage four contractors during the worst week of your year.

• 03

  Reconstruction included

  Most storm-restoration companies stop after mitigation. We rebuild — drywall, framing, paint, flooring. One company, no second contractor.

• 04

  Documentation for insurance

  Storm claims are often disputed because of insufficient documentation. We document every angle, surface, and measurement. Most of our storm claims are approved without dispute.
