What storm damage looks like in Sonora

Sonora has a historic Mother Lode city with Victorian and Craftsman homes in the Dodge Ridge Road and Snell Street neighborhoods, mid-century ranch homes throughout residential Sonora, and newer custom homes on forested lots.

Complex Victorian rooflines with many pitches, dormers, and valleys require expert installers.

The damage pattern is predictable. Wind lifts shingles on south- and west-facing slopes first. Branches break ridge caps and valleys. Heavy rain finds any weak flashing or pipe boot.

Insurance inspectors know these patterns — and so do we. We write damage reports in the format your carrier expects, which means fewer back-and-forth requests and faster approval.
