Storm Damage Restoration for the Adirondack Foothills & Capital District
When a storm causes structural damage to a property in this region, it rarely announces itself in advance. A fast-moving microburst can drop trees on one street while the next block over goes untouched. An ice storm can force water beneath shingles for days before the damage becomes visible. A heavy nor'easter can take a roof section off in the middle of the night. When it happens, the response that follows in the first hours makes a material difference in how much secondary damage accumulates and what the full restoration ultimately costs.
AllPro Restoration is based in Gansevoort and has provided storm damage restoration throughout Warren, Washington, Saratoga, and Albany County since 2004. We are not a national franchise routing calls through an out-of-state center. When you call (518) 793-5311, a live dispatcher answers immediately and puts a crew on the road — day or night, in any conditions.
AllPro handles the complete scope of storm damage restoration: emergency tarping and board-up, licensed tree removal coordination, water extraction and structural drying, mold prevention, and full structural rebuild. One contractor, one claim, from the first call to the finished property.
Storm Damage Types AllPro Restores
Storm damage in this region affects residential properties, seasonal camps, older commercial buildings, and multi-family structures. The nature of the damage varies by storm type, property age, and how quickly it is addressed. AllPro handles them all.
Wind Damage & Roof Failure
High-wind events and fast-moving microbursts can strip shingles, lift roof sections, and damage siding across a narrow corridor with little warning. Surface damage that looks minor from the ground often represents a compromised waterproofing barrier — and every subsequent rain event drives water deeper into the structure until it is found and addressed.
Tree & Limb Impact
A tree through a roof or wall creates an immediate weather exposure that requires emergency tarping before the next rain event. AllPro coordinates with licensed tree removal contractors so you have a single point of contact for the entire situation — tree removal, emergency tarping, structural assessment, and restoration, all under one call.
Storm-Driven Water Intrusion
Wind-driven rain against compromised roofing, siding, or windows creates water intrusion that saturates wall cavities and promotes mold within 24 to 48 hours. AllPro's IICRC-certified extraction and structural drying process handles storm-driven water intrusion with the same protocols used on any water damage loss.
Ice Dams
Ice dams form when heat escaping through the roof melts snow, which refreezes at the cold eave and forces water back beneath shingles into wall cavities and attic spaces. The damage accumulates quietly and is often not discovered until spring thaw. AllPro addresses both the structural water damage and any resulting mold as part of the same scope.
Commercial Flat Roof Flooding
Flat-roof commercial buildings depend on functioning drains to move water off the surface. Clogged drains allow water to accumulate, and the weight can exceed structural load capacity — leading to membrane failure or, in severe cases, roof collapse. AllPro has responded to commercial flat-roof losses of this type throughout the region, including incidents involving fire suppression system activation. Learn more about our Commercial Restoration and our Commercial Water & Storm Damage Restoration for more information.
Seasonal & Delayed-Discovery Losses
Storm damage to seasonal camps and vacation properties is often not discovered until the property is opened — sometimes months after the event. By then, water intrusion has had time to saturate materials and establish mold. AllPro handles delayed-discovery losses regularly and provides the documentation your insurance claim requires regardless of when the damage occurred.
Full Storm Damage Restoration — Emergency Response Through Completed Rebuild
AllPro provides the complete scope of storm damage restoration so you are not coordinating multiple contractors across a single insurance claim. From the first emergency call to the finished restoration, one team handles everything.
24/7 Emergency Dispatch
Live dispatcher around the clock. When you call, a real person answers and puts a crew on the road. No voicemail, no morning callback, no out-of-state routing.
Emergency Roof Tarping
A breached roof has to be covered before the next rain event. Our crews install heavy-duty tarping immediately to protect the interior while the full scope is assessed and documented.
Tree Removal Coordination
We coordinate with licensed tree removal contractors so you have one point of contact. Once the tree is out, our crew moves directly into structural assessment and emergency protection work.
Board-Up & Temporary Securing
Broken windows, compromised doors, and open wall sections are secured against weather and unauthorized entry while full restoration planning is underway.
Water Extraction & Structural Drying
Storm-driven water intrusion is mitigated using IICRC S500-compliant extraction, commercial air movement, and dehumidification — with daily moisture monitoring until structural materials reach dry standard.
Mold Prevention & Remediation
Water intrusion that isn't dried promptly becomes a mold event. AllPro's NYS-licensed mold remediation team handles secondary mold growth as part of the same scope — one contractor, one claim.
Insurance Documentation
We document every phase of damage and restoration for your adjuster — photographs, moisture logs, material inventories, and a complete scope of work supporting a fully settled claim.
Full Structural Rebuild
Framing, sheathing, roofing, insulation, drywall, flooring, interior finishes and paint. AllPro completes the full restoration to pre-loss condition under a single contractor and contract.
How AllPro Handles Storm Damage Restoration
Every storm damage project follows the same structured sequence — emergency protection first, mitigation second, restoration third. No phase is skipped or rushed to reach the next.
Emergency Response & Site Assessment
AllPro crews arrive, assess structural integrity and weather exposure, and document the initial damage condition. Safety hazards are identified and addressed before any other work begins.
Emergency Tarping & Board-Up
Compromised roof sections are tarped immediately. Broken windows, damaged doors, and open wall sections are boarded. The structure is secured against further weather exposure before crews leave the site.
Tree & Debris Coordination
Licensed tree removal contractors are coordinated to safely remove tree material from the structure. AllPro manages this coordination so you deal with one point of contact for the entire project.
Structural Demolition & Material Removal
Damaged roofing materials, collapsed structure, saturated insulation, and unsalvageable drywall are removed and documented. Every item that comes out is inventoried for the insurance file.
Water Extraction & Structural Drying
Storm-driven water intrusion is addressed with commercial extraction equipment, air movers, and dehumidifiers. Moisture levels are monitored daily with calibrated instruments and documented until structural materials reach IICRC-standard dry baselines.
Mold Inspection & Remediation (If Needed)
In cases where storm damage went undetected — or where time elapsed before mitigation began — mold may have established in wall cavities or attic spaces. AllPro's IICRC-certified mold remediation team handles secondary mold growth as part of the same storm damage restoration scope.
Full Structural Restoration & Rebuild
With the structure stabilized, dried, and cleared, AllPro moves into reconstruction — roofing, framing repairs, insulation, drywall, flooring, interior finishes, and paint. The completed property is delivered with full documentation for your insurance file, including final moisture readings and a detailed scope of all work performed.
What To Do Immediately After Storm Damage to Your Property
✓ Do These Things First
- Call AllPro at (518) 793-5311 — we dispatch immediately, 24/7
- Keep everyone away from areas with structural damage or open roof sections
- Photograph visible damage from a safe distance before anything is moved
- Notify your insurance carrier and open the claim as soon as possible
- Shut off utilities to affected areas if it is safe to do so
- Move valuables away from active water intrusion if access is safe
✗ Avoid These Mistakes
- Do not go onto a damaged roof — let our crew assess structural integrity first
- Do not attempt to remove a tree or large limbs from a structure yourself
- Do not wait for your adjuster before calling for emergency mitigation — delay can reduce your covered scope
- Do not run fans into wet wall cavities — improper drying spreads moisture and accelerates mold
- Do not discard damaged materials before your adjuster has documented them
- Do not commit to your insurer's preferred vendor — you have the right to choose your own contractor
Storm Damage Insurance Claims — What Property Owners Need to Know
Most storm damage restoration is an insurance claim, and navigating that process while your home is open to the weather is enormously stressful. AllPro simplifies it. We document everything, communicate directly with your adjuster, and advocate for a complete restoration scope — not a minimum settlement.
✓ Typically Covered by Homeowner's Insurance
- Wind damage to roofing, siding, windows & structure
- Hail damage to roofing, siding & mechanical equipment
- Tree or limb impact damage to the structure
- Water intrusion resulting from storm-caused roof or wall damage
- Ice dam water damage to interior finishes and structure
- Emergency board-up and protective measures
- Additional Living Expenses while displaced from a storm-damaged home
✗ Typically Not Covered Without Additional Riders
- Flooding from rising water, rivers, or overland flow — requires separate flood policy
- Sewer or drain backup from storm-overwhelmed systems — requires endorsement
- Damage attributable to pre-existing deterioration or neglected maintenance
- Gradual water seepage not caused by a specific storm event
- Tree removal from the yard — most policies cover structural damage but not tree removal itself

Storm Damage Restoration — Common Questions
How quickly does AllPro respond to storm damage emergencies?
AllPro maintains a live dispatcher 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When you call (518) 793-5311, you reach a real person — not a voicemail or answering service. Storm damage restoration crews are dispatched immediately. During and immediately after significant weather events, we prioritize calls by severity of structural exposure and dispatch accordingly.
A tree came through my roof — what's the first thing I should do?
Do not attempt to remove the tree yourself or climb onto the roof. Call AllPro at (518) 793-5311 immediately. Our crew will safely assess the structural situation, coordinate licensed tree removal, and install emergency tarping to protect the interior from further weather exposure. Then call your insurance carrier to report the claim. Photograph everything visible from the ground before our crew arrives if it is safe to do so.
Does AllPro coordinate tree removal or do I need to arrange that separately?
AllPro coordinates licensed tree removal contractors as part of our storm damage response — you do not need to arrange that separately. We act as the single point of contact for the entire job: tree out, structure tarped, assessment complete, restoration underway. This simplifies your claim and eliminates the coordination problems that arise when multiple contractors are involved.
Is flooding from a river or rising water covered by my homeowner's insurance?
No — flooding caused by rising external water, including river overflow and overland flow, is almost universally excluded from standard homeowner's insurance policies. This type of flooding requires a separate flood insurance policy. However, if storm water enters your home through a breached roof or compromised wall — as opposed to rising from outside — that is typically covered under your standard policy. If you're unsure which applies to your situation, call us and we can help you identify the source of intrusion.
My storm damage happened weeks ago — is it too late for professional restoration?
It's not too late to call AllPro, but the window for minimizing damage and maximizing your covered restoration scope closes quickly. Water intrusion that went unaddressed for weeks typically means mold remediation is now part of the project — and some structural materials that could have been dried and saved will require replacement. AllPro can still assess, document, and restore the damage — and provide the documentation your insurer needs. Call (518) 793-5311 regardless of when the storm occurred.
Does AllPro handle commercial storm damage restoration?
Yes. AllPro provides storm damage restoration for commercial properties throughout our four-county service area — including retail, office, industrial, multi-family, and institutional buildings. Commercial storm damage restoration often involves more complex structural systems, business interruption considerations, and multi-party insurance coordination. Our commercial restoration team handles all of it. Visit our commercial restoration page or call (518) 793-5311.
Can AllPro also handle the mold that developed after storm damage?
Absolutely. Mold growth as a secondary consequence of storm damage is extremely common — particularly when water intrusion went undetected in wall cavities, attic spaces, or under flooring. AllPro is an IICRC-certified mold remediation firm as well as a storm damage restoration contractor, so we handle both under a single scope of work. This simplifies your claim and eliminates the coordination problems that arise when multiple contractors are involved. Learn more on our mold remediation page.
