Avoid Storm Chasers

Verify a Michigan residential builder license before hiring.
Get every promise in writing — scope, price, timeline.
Be wary of out-of-area plates and door knockers.
Never pay the full cost up front. A deposit is normal; full payment before work is a red flag.
Do not sign anything that assigns insurance proceeds without reading it carefully.
Get the claim number from your insurance before work starts.

Prep Checklists

Charge phones, power banks, and flashlights. Have spare batteries.
Fill your gas tank and, if you have one, fill the generator.
Stock 3 days of water (1 gallon per person per day) and non-perishable food.
Test smoke and CO detectors. Replace batteries if needed.
Clear gutters and downspouts. Move loose items inside.
Know where your main water and gas shut-offs are.
Have a battery or hand-crank radio for alerts.
