Storm Damage Restoration in Port Huron, MI
Wind off Lake Huron takes shingles and siding, a downed maple opens the roof, and the rain keeps coming through the hole. If a storm just hit your Port Huron home or business, we come out to tarp, board up and pump out — day or night. We are Doan Restoration of Michigan, a local crew on call 24/7, and we take the job from emergency stabilization through the rebuild, working directly with your insurance company on the claim.

Why storm damage in Port Huron gets worse overnight
Port Huron sits where Lake Huron narrows into the river, and the wind coming across the water has nothing to slow it down. Summer thunderstorms arrive with straight-line wind; winter brings ice, lake-effect snow load and freezing rain. The damage looks the same from the curb — missing shingles, peeled siding, a tree on the garage — but water is already inside.
Every hour an opening stays uncovered, rain runs down inside the walls, into the insulation and onto the ceiling below. Your policy expects you to prevent further damage, and carriers look at how quickly the roof was covered. Tarping and board-up are not a formality — they decide how big the loss gets.
We are based on Minnie St in Port Huron, so we are not driving in from out of the area after a storm. We stabilize first, document everything for your adjuster, dry what got wet, and then repair and rebuild with the same crew. You make one call.
Our storm damage restoration process in Port Huron
Make it safe
We check for downed lines, a gas smell and structural damage before anyone goes in. If a wall or a roof section is unsafe, we shore it or fence it off.
Tarp, board up and pump out
Roof tarps go on, openings get boarded and standing water in the basement gets pumped out. This is the work that stops the loss from growing while your claim is opened.
Clear the trees and debris
We cut and remove fallen trees and limbs from the roof, the yard and the driveway, and we haul off the wreckage so the adjuster and the crew can get to the damage.
Document and dry
Photos, measurements and moisture readings of every affected area. Then we set drying equipment on the wet framing, insulation and drywall so the storm repair does not hide a wet wall.
Repair and rebuild
Roofing, siding, gutters, windows, drywall and paint — replaced and finished by the same company that showed up in the rain. We close the job with a walk-through with you.

Storm damage jobs we handle in Port Huron
Wind-damaged roofs and siding
Lifted or missing shingles, torn flashing and siding peeled off the windward side. We tarp first, then replace what the wind took.
Fallen trees and limbs
A tree through the roof, on the garage or across a porch. We remove it, cover the hole and rebuild the structure it landed on.
Hail damage
Bruised shingles, dented gutters and siding, cracked skylights. Hail damage leaks weeks later; we inspect the whole roof, not just the spot you can see.
Rain intrusion and flooded basements
Wind-driven rain through windows and doors, and basements that took on water when the storm outran the sump. We extract, dry and restore.
Ice, snow load and ice dams
Freezing rain and lake-effect snow load sag roofs and porch overhangs; ice dams push meltwater under the shingles. We dry the attic and ceilings and repair the roof edge.
Lightning and fire from a strike
A strike that starts a small fire in the attic or the panel. We handle the fire and smoke cleanup and any water from putting it out.
Before We Arrive
Steps to Take
- 1. Stay away from downed power lines and anything they touch, including puddles and fences
- 2. Call Doan Restoration at (586) 842-8142 for emergency tarping and board-up
- 3. Photograph the roof, the yard and every wet room before anything gets moved or cleaned
- 4. Open a claim with your insurance company and tell them the roof is being covered
- 5. Keep every receipt — tarps, hotel, generator fuel — for the claim
- 6. Move furniture and electronics out from under a ceiling that is dripping or sagging
Avoid This
- 1. Do not get on the roof; wet shingles and hidden hail damage make it easy to fall
- 2. Do not sign with a storm-chasing roofer who knocks on the door after the storm
- 3. Do not make permanent repairs before the adjuster has seen the damage
- 4. Do not throw away broken materials until they are photographed
- 5. Do not ignore a small ceiling stain after a storm — the insulation above it is wet
Storm Damage Restoration FAQ
Do you come out during the storm?
We come out as soon as it is safe for the crew. Tarping in high wind is dangerous, so we may board up and pump out first and finish the roof cover when the wind drops.
Will you deal with my insurance adjuster?
Yes. We document the damage, meet the adjuster at the house if you want us there, and bill your carrier directly on covered storm losses. You are not the go-between.
Do you remove the tree, or do I need a tree service?
We remove trees and limbs that are on the structure or blocking access as part of the job. For a large tree that is still standing but damaged, we will tell you if a tree service should take it down first.
