Commercial Storm Damage Repair in Houston, TX

What we do after a commercial storm

Emergency board-up: securing broken windows, doors, and openings so the property is weather-tight and can't be walked into overnight.

Roof-leak mitigation: tarping and sealing openings to stop active water intrusion, plus the interior repair the leak caused — stained and sagging ceilings, wet drywall, damaged flooring. Full roof replacement is a roofing specialty and a separate scope; what we do is stop the water and rebuild the damage inside.

Flood cut and demo: cutting out wet drywall and insulation above the water line, pulling damaged flooring, and hauling it off.

Rebuild: drywall, texture, and paint; flooring replacement including subfloor repair; siding, soffit, fascia, and trim; and sign and awning damage on the exterior.

24-hour emergency repair for businesses

The first hours after a storm are about securing the building, not rebuilding it. We provide 24-hour commercial board-up and leak mitigation so a damaged storefront, warehouse, or office is closed up, weather-tight, and secure before the next band of weather arrives.

As an emergency contractor for businesses we prioritize what keeps the property safe and insurable: covering openings, stopping water, and documenting the damage with photos before anything gets moved or demolished. The full rebuild scope and estimate follow once the building is stable and dry — trying to rebuild a wet structure just means doing it twice.

Restaurants, retail, and apartment complexes

Restaurant flood damage repair runs against the tightest clock of all — a closed kitchen is lost revenue every day and there's a health-code standard to meet before reopening. We prioritize flood cut, drywall, flooring, and finish work in the areas that gate reopening, and sequence the rest around them.

Retail store storm damage repair is about the storefront and the sales floor: board-up first, then glass surrounds, flooring, walls, and signage so the space reads as open and maintained again.

For apartment complexes, we prioritize occupied and rent-ready units first so tenants are back soonest, and take the work a unit at a time.

Business flood prevention and apartment hurricane prep

The cheapest storm repair is the one you prevent. Ahead of hurricane season we help Houston businesses reduce exposure: pre-cut and labeled board-up panels ready to deploy, flood barriers and door-opening protection, securing loose exterior elements and signage, and tying roof runoff and site drainage away from entrances and low docks.

For apartment complexes, hurricane prep is a walk of the property before the season: identifying the openings and low points that flood, staging board-up materials, checking gates and fences that become projectiles, and clearing the drainage paths that back up first. Doing this in spring is far cheaper than repairing the same buildings in September.

What we don't do, and how insurance documentation works

We don't do water extraction, structural drying, or mold remediation. Those are separate specialties — drying needs specialized equipment, and mold remediation requires a state license in Texas. If the building is still wet, that crew comes first; we come after and do the rebuild.

On the insurance side, we photograph the damage before we demo anything and provide an itemized written estimate for the repair scope, which is what your adjuster works from. To be clear about the line: we're the contractor doing the repair. We don't adjust or negotiate claims — Texas law prohibits a contractor from acting as a public adjuster on a property it's working on. What we do is document thoroughly and price the repair accurately.

What commercial storm work costs

Emergency board-up and mitigation are priced on response and the size of the openings; they're small relative to the rebuild and the point is speed. The rebuild is priced by scope — how many rooms or units, how high the water got, the finishes going back in, and how much demo and haul-off is involved.

What moves the number: the water-line height, whether subfloor and framing need attention underneath, after-hours work to hit a reopening date, and matching an existing brand or unit standard. We walk the property and give a written estimate broken out by line item, which does double duty as your insurance documentation. Estimates are free.
