Wind and hail can be punishing to your property. With branches in Texas, Minnesota, and Colorado, Bulldog Contractors is home to specialists with over 100 years of combined experience in storm damage repairs, and these skilled roofing and siding contractors will quickly and efficiently restore your home if it has been wrecked by high winds, hail, or any type of natural disaster. These experts say there are steps you can take to minimize wind and hailstorm damage to your home. 

Here are three tips to help you protect your home and avoid having to pay for storm damage restoration services:

• Keep A Well-Maintained Yard: High winds do the most damage when they cause something to collide with or fall on your home. A tree with weak branches is a disaster waiting to happen in a situation like this. Much of the damage done during high winds is caused by tree branches falling onto homes. Make sure you keep the trees and shrubs in your yard well trimmed to avoid the need for storm damage repairs. 
• Replace Rock & Gravel Landscaping: Winds will turn rocks and gravel into projectiles, and they could collide with your home and wreck the siding. Instead of rock and gravel landscaping, choose shredded bark, since this won't leave your home needing storm damage restoration services if it is blown into your residence by high winds.
• Install Hail-Resistant Shingles: Hail-resistant shingles are so effective, many insurance companies offer cash incentives if home insurance policyholders use these shingles in their re-roofing projects. Shingles are rated for impact resistance, and the most challenging impact-resistance test is the UL 2218 Class 4. Roofing and siding contractors say shingles that have done well on this test will offer superior resistance to hailstorm damage.
