Emergency Tarping & Weather Barrier Installation

PHC Restoration responds to emergencies around the clock, including weekends and holidays, because storm damage response can’t wait for business hours. Our teams arrive with commercial-grade tarps, chainsaws, and emergency board-up materials to remove large tree limbs and secure compromised roofs, broken windows, damaged doors, and breached walls. We remove debris from structures, stabilize vulnerable areas, and establish a protected perimeter around your property. Rapid weather barrier installation protects your property’s interior, prevents water damage from spreading, and creates a controlled environment for assessment and planning.

Wind Damage Assessment

Raleigh’s mature tree canopy, especially in neighborhoods like Hayes Barton and Oakwood, increases wind damage vulnerability during severe storms—with flying debris, fallen branches, and lifted shingles creating both immediate and potential secondary damage. Strong winds can compromise roofing materials that allow water intrusion during subsequent rainfall, break windows from airborne objects, and damage exterior structures that protect your property’s interior. PHC’s first responders conduct comprehensive property evaluations that include roof systems, siding, windows, gutters, fencing, and exterior structures. We use thermal imaging technology to identify hidden damage behind walls and beneath roofing materials, document every compromised area with detailed photography, and evaluate structural integrity to determine the full scope of necessary repairs. 

Water Intrusion & Structural Drying

Storm-driven water can enter your home or business through compromised roofs, broken windows, foundation breaches, and damaged exterior walls. Once inside, it migrates through building materials quickly (saturating insulation, drywall, flooring, and structural components) and you may need to have water damage restoration performed. Our technicians deploy industrial extractors and commercial dehumidification equipment to remove standing water and moisture from affected materials. Using moisture mapping technology, we track saturation levels throughout the drying process to ensure complete moisture removal that prevents mold growth and structural deterioration. We’ll coordinate emergency interior drying protocols with permanent repairs to roofing, windows, and exterior barriers. 

Tree Damage & Debris Removal

Raleigh is known as the “City of Oaks,” and one of the things local homeowners worry about most during a sudden storm is what to do if a tree falls on your house. Fallen trees and large limbs create immediate safety hazards and ongoing structural damage to your property, so you need to call an experienced property damage restoration company. PHC Restoration coordinates with professional tree removal companies to safely remove trees from structures while we stabilize compromised areas to prevent further property damage during the removal process. Once the tree has been extracted, our team will assess structural damage, haul away remaining debris, then develop a restoration plan based on the impact to your roof, walls, windows, and foundation. 

Storm Damage Reconstruction in Raleigh

Complete storm damage restoration extends beyond emergency repairs to rebuilding damaged structures with quality materials and skilled workmanship. Our reconstruction process begins with detailed scope alignment to ensure you understand the work required, timeline expectations, and quality standards we maintain throughout the project. We guide you through materials selection, coordinate scheduling to minimize disruption, and maintain clear communication at every phase from demolition through final inspection. 

Raleigh’s permitting requirements and inspection protocols are built into our project planning, and our experience with local building standards ensures your reconstruction meets or exceeds all necessary codes and regulations. PHC Restoration manages residential and commercial reconstruction projects of any size, from start to completion.

Contents Cleaning & Storage

Storm damage affects more than just your building structure, it can also impact your personal belongings or business equipment. PHC’s contents cleaning and storage services include inventory and photographing your belongings, assessing which contents can be salvaged, and providing professional cleaning services—using controlled drying techniques to remove water, deodorization chambers to eliminate odors, and ultrasonic equipment for fine detail cleaning. We carefully pack and transport salvageable contents to our secure storage facilities during property repairs and coordinate the return of your items once reconstruction is complete.

Raleigh Storm Damage Restoration FAQs

How quickly can you tarp my roof after a storm in Raleigh?

PHC Restoration dispatches emergency response teams 24/7, and we typically arrive at Raleigh properties within an hour of your call. Our technicians carry commercial-grade tarps, reinforcement materials, and securing equipment to provide immediate weather barrier protection. 

What's the difference between emergency repairs and full restoration?

Emergency repairs focus on immediate property protection—tarping compromised roofs, boarding broken windows, extracting water, and stabilizing structures to prevent further damage. Full restoration includes permanent repairs and reconstruction that return your property to its pre-loss condition. PHC Restoration handles both phases, starting with rapid emergency response and continuing through complete rebuilding.

Can you remove fallen trees from my Raleigh property?

We are able to remove large limbs from structures, and we coordinate with professional tree removal companies who safely remove fallen trees from structures. PHC Restoration stabilizes your property during tree removal to prevent additional damage, then manages all restoration work once the tree is cleared. This includes structural assessment, debris removal, site cleanup, and repairs to roofs, walls, windows, and other affected areas.

How do you prevent mold growth after storm water intrusion?

Mold prevention begins with rapid water extraction and thorough structural drying. Our technicians use industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture detection equipment to remove water from building materials and monitor drying progress. We track moisture levels throughout affected areas until readings confirm dry standard is reached. If your property already has mold growth present, we perform mold remediation services in Raleigh

Do you work in historic districts like Oakwood?

Yes, we regularly work in historic properties in neighborhoods throughout Raleigh. Our team understands exterior appearance standards, architectural review requirements, and approval processes that apply to neighborhoods with specific aesthetic or preservation guidelines. We assist property owners with coordinating necessary documentation and communicating with governing bodies to ensure restoration work meets both structural standards and community requirements.

Do you support the claims process?

We provide detailed documentation and photography of all storm damage to your property. You can use this documentation to support your claim for the damage that occurred and the restoration work that is required. 

Will I need to move out during storm damage repairs?

Whether you need to relocate depends on the extent of damage and which areas of your property require restoration. Minor repairs to exterior structures or isolated rooms often allow you to remain in your home with minimal disruption. Extensive damage affecting multiple rooms, utilities, or structural systems may require temporary relocation for your safety and to allow efficient restoration work. We assess your specific situation and provide clear guidance about occupancy during the repair process.

Reviews

Josh arranged to come inspect the soot damage from our gas logs promptly. He came a second time to meet with our insurance adjuster. He sent a great team of Jeff, Ryan, Becca, Tina and Valerie. They all worked hard for several days to clean the parts of our home that had been impacted by the soot. I highly recommend PHC.

Harriet Tharrington

I appreciate all the hard work and expertise provided by PHC to mitigate the fire and smoke damage to my home, clean and care for its contents, and repair structural damages.
Jeremy Jones is an amazing project manager with the knowledge of home construction and reliability needed to coordinate multiple stages of mitigation and home repair. He is professional and courteous and never fails to respond to a request or inquiry. Thank you, Jeremy!

Toby Williams is a true “jack-of-all-trades” and I also appreciate his workmanship throughout the period of home repairs. I want to thank Natalie, Rebecca and Tina, and fellow crew members for their hard work and positive attitudes during the early days of mitigation, content cleaning, and setting my house back in order. Thanks, also, to the office staff at PHC for their courtesy and patience as I worked through the process of payment schedules and insurance matters.
