Local Factors In Shaker Heights
Storms
Where severe weather is concerned in Shaker Heights, ice damming is close to a regional default, and the damage that costs the most is rarely the damage you can see from the driveway.
Weather
Roofs in Shaker Heights age on a specific clock: lake effect stretches winter well past what the rest of the state sees, which is why a shingle rated for thirty years rarely gets there in this county.
What You Should Not Do
- Do not climb onto a wet or storm-damaged roof
- Do not sign anything with a crew that knocked on your door after the storm
- Do not let anyone throw away damaged materials before they are photographed
- Do not wait for the adjuster before stopping active water. Insurers expect you to prevent further damage.
