Minnesota’s severe weather season brings hail, straight-line winds, tornadoes, and ice storms that can damage roofing, siding, windows, and structural components in minutes. PartnersCOS provides complete storm damage repair for Twin Cities homeowners – from emergency tarping through full roof replacement and exterior reconstruction – as a single licensed general contractor and IICRC-certified restoration operation.
Our storm repair capabilities cover emergency response and securing, complete roofing repair and replacement, siding restoration, window replacement, gutter and downspout repair, structural repairs from tree impacts, and interior water damage restoration from storm-driven intrusion. Our hybrid builder-restoration model handles both the damage mitigation and the reconstruction as one seamless project.
Storm damage claims are time-sensitive and require thorough documentation. PartnersCOS provides detailed damage assessments with photographic evidence, drone roof imagery, and Xactimate estimates that match the format insurance adjusters expect. We understand ordinance and law coverage for west metro rebuilds and advocate for complete repair scope on every claim.
Safety comes first – avoid entering areas with structural damage, downed power lines, or standing water. Document all visible damage with photos and video before moving anything. Then contact your insurance company to open a claim and call Partnerscos for an emergency assessment. Our team responds quickly across the Minneapolis metro to secure your property with tarping, board-up, and water extraction services that prevent secondary damage.
Most standard homeowners policies in Minnesota cover sudden storm damage from wind, hail, lightning, and fallen trees. Coverage specifics vary by policy – deductibles, depreciation schedules, and exclusions differ between carriers. Partnerscos works directly with insurance adjusters throughout the claims process, providing detailed damage documentation, scope-of-work estimates, and supplemental claims when initial assessments undervalue the repair scope.
Timeline depends on the severity and type of damage. Minor wind damage repairs like siding replacement or roof patching may take a few days. Major storm events involving structural damage, water intrusion, or full roof replacement can take several weeks to complete properly. Partnerscos provides a detailed project timeline during our initial assessment and keeps homeowners updated at every phase through completion.
Yes. When storms breach the building envelope – through roof damage, broken windows, or siding failure – moisture enters wall cavities, attic spaces, and subfloor areas. Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours in these hidden spaces. Partnerscos addresses both the visible storm damage and the moisture intrusion behind it, using commercial drying equipment and moisture mapping to prevent mold colonization before it starts.
The Minneapolis metro experiences a range of severe weather threats. Straight-line wind events and derecho storms can cause widespread structural damage across entire neighborhoods. Hailstorms frequently damage roofing, siding, and windows. Heavy rain events overwhelm drainage systems and cause basement flooding. Winter ice dams create roof leaks and interior water damage. Partnerscos is equipped to handle all of these storm damage scenarios with specialized restoration crews for each type.

Hail damage to asphalt shingles appears as circular impact marks, bruising, or granule loss. It may not be visible from the ground. Damaged gutters, downspouts, and window screens are often easier to spot. After any significant hail event, we recommend a professional roof inspection — we provide these at no charge.
As soon as safely possible. Most policies require reporting claims promptly, and some have time limits on storm damage claims. We can help document the damage and assist with the claims process. Call us first — we will assess the damage and help you determine whether a claim makes sense.
Emergency tarping is temporary waterproofing applied immediately after storm damage to prevent interior water damage while permanent repairs are being arranged. It is needed any time a roof or exterior wall is breached by storm damage. We provide 24/7 emergency tarping throughout the Twin Cities metro.
Yes. We handle the full scope — emergency response, insurance documentation, roof replacement, siding, windows, gutters, and any interior repairs resulting from the storm. One contractor managing the full project means faster completion and no coordination gaps between trades.
