Nashville, TN (PRWEB) October 19, 2011
Insurance companies and roofing contractors like Reroof America know the drill... but are you ready? The annual storm season in the western part of the country often arrives in conjunction with a “second” storm season hitting the Midwest and Southeast and can cause major headaches for property owners. Many people across the country find that March through May are some of the most dangerous months of the year, as evidenced by total number of major storms and outbreak of tornados. However, aside from the hurricane danger in September; October and early November can be quite harrowing months for property owners, especially because the window to complete repairs before winter comes is much shorter.
These late year storms can cause more damage than you think to your roof and siding . When October storms hit, people tend to think less about them as there is not the national awareness as there is in the spring months. “Typically the hail is a little softer in the fall” said Mark Lenzer, Vice President of Reroof America Contractors . “However, the hail and wind can be equally as damaging to the integrity of a roof or siding”, he added.
So far in 2011, there have been major wind and hail events in Texas, Oklahoma , Arkansas, Tennessee, Louisiana , Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. These recent fall storms are coming on the heals of major East coast damage from Hurricane Irene and a very active spring storm season earlier this year. As a result of these storms, there has been an increase in demand for building products and as such increased construction material costs on items such as asphalt roofing shingles.
Among the candidates were Ronald Black, 44, of Edmond, who's been looking for work since he was laid off the end of May; Mike Wright, 38, of Del City, who plans to retire from the Air Force at the end of this year; and Inisha Jones, 21,

In addition to construction material problems, property owners may have other difficulties in dealing with their insurance replacement work. Reroof America offers some tips for homeowners who experienced some of these late season storms: 1.

Edmond homeowners insurance can help you care for your home. If you are looking to secure a mortgage in the state of Oklahoma, it is likely that you will be required to have a valid homeowners policy in order to sign a contract. Many OK insurance companies are available to help you make this purchase.
Edmond is located in an area that receives temperamental weather. Vicious storms and long periods of drought are not uncommon phenomena throughout the year. Edmond homeowners insurance will cover the cost of repairs should a period of difficult weather cause damage to your Edmond home.
Insurance for Fire DamageDry spells and periods of drought come with a worry of house fire as it is significantly easier for a fire to spread to other locations during these conditions. Any Oklahoma homeowners plan you purchase will count fire and smoke as a protected hazard. However, there may be a few steps you need to go through to ensure you can file a claim with your Edmond homeowners insurance agency in the event of an accident.
During a fire, your main priority should be ensuring the safety of your loved ones. Have a meeting place arranged near your Edmond property where you can go during an emergency so you can quickly determine who may need further assistance. Once everyone has safely gathered here call the emergency rescue crew responsible for your area of OK to deal with the flames. Do not return to your property until they have informed you it is safe to do so.
When you have been given permission to reenter your home, take photos or film the damage to the property. Also, make a list of all items which have been destroyed or will need to be restored due to smoke damage. Contact your Edmond homeowners insurance agent and deliver these reference materials when you file your claim.
Homeowners Insurance for TornadosA tornado season strikes Oklahoma every year, and Edmond is no exception. Most homeowners policies include damage from wind or heavy precipitation in their plans, but few specifically mention tornados as a protected hazard. Read through your plan carefully, and contact your insurance agent if you are unsure what will be covered should a severe storm hit your home.
