When the Pacific Northwest storms roll in, they bring more than rain, they bring challenges for homeowners across Snohomish County (Edmonds, Lynnwood, Bothell, Everett, Monroe) and King County (Seattle, Shoreline, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond) but preparation and quick action make all the difference. As an Edmonds remodeling company with 45 years of service, we’ve seen it all. Here is our guide for preparing your home before and after the storm. 

Before the Storm: Smart Preparation

Roof & Gutters: A strong roof is your first defense. Inspections of roofs, windows, and doors to ensure all seals and flashing are intact to prevent water intrusion.

Tree Care: Trim branches that could become hazards in high winds.

Outdoor Items: Secure furniture and décor to prevent damage.

Seal & Protect: Inspect windows and doors for gaps—keep the weather outside.

Basic Disaster Supplies Kit: After a large storm, you may need to survive on your own for several days. A disaster supplies kit is a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency. Visit https://www.ready.gov/kit for a full list.

After the Storm: Fast, Reliable Home Repairs

Act Quickly: Water damage doesn’t wait—neither should you.

Rapid Assessment: Our team provides prompt on-site inspections to identify visible and hidden damage, including structural issues and water intrusion.
