Storm damage restoration in Atlanta isn’t cheap. It’s why we can’t urge you enough to take as many precautions as possible by investing in storm damage prevention. In 2012, there were around 140 billion dollars in property damages throughout the country due to storms. While weather protection costs may seem pricey, they’re nothing compared to damage restoration.
You can get a basic roof underlayment, which helps water proof your roof, for $400. For superior protection, it will cost you around $800. This is nowhere near as bad as potentially having to replace your entire roof, which can end up costing you around $18,500. You can also choose to use a weather barrier material for your walls, which will set you back around $1,800, as well as add basement waterproofing for around $3,300. Both are preferable to spending $11,000 on re-siding your home or $60,000 on restoring your basement due to storm damage.
Weather proofing your home may cost you a little bit of money, but the protection is worth it when you consider how much storm damage restoration can end up costing. For more information about storm damage restoration in Atlanta, be sure to contact us at Parker Young today.
