Understand the damage. Plan the repair.
Before the storm: boarding up.
Storm preparation · commercial storefront · plywood panels cut and fitted by our crewStorm damage can affect several parts of a home at once. The first step is to understand the condition of the property and the work needed to restore it. Before a storm, the useful work is preparation: securing openings, as our crew is doing in the film above.
Garden Island Contractors can discuss structural, exterior, and interior repairs with you. Where specialist assessment or engineering is required, that input helps define the work.

A repair sequence based on the condition of the house.
Addressing structural damage and water entry gives interior repairs a sound starting point. Replacing damaged finishes before those issues are resolved can leave the original problem in place.
Depending on the property, the scope may include framing, roof and siding work, removal of water-damaged materials, and reconstruction of affected rooms.
Finishes · interior and exterior paint
Documentation that explains the work.
Photographs and a written scope help record the condition and proposed repairs. If an insurer is involved, its requirements and coverage decisions remain separate from the construction scope.
