Professional Wind Damage Restoration Services
A gust that peels back shingles or drops a spruce onto your roof leaves the house open to whatever weather comes next. The very first thing to do in a situation like this: close the building up. Allied 24/7 Restoration provides storm damage restoration for homes and businesses across Kalispell and the Flathead Valley.
Call (406) 756-4357 at any hour. Allied’s owner, Tim, inspects the damage in person and separates the urgent fixes from the ones that can wait until morning.
How We Handle Wind Damage Repair
Wind damage repair happens in two stages. We seal the building right away, then rebuild it properly once the weather settles. Skipping the first stage is how you turn a torn roof into a soaked attic and a stained ceiling problem.
Emergency Roof Tarping and Board-Up
Our crew installs emergency roof tarping over missing shingles and holes punched by falling limbs. We anchor each tarp with boards and carry it over the ridge, so gusts can’t catch the edge and peel it back. Shattered windows and damaged doors get plywood on the same visit.
When a tree is resting on the house, we lift it off before the tarp goes on. A trunk left in place keeps weight on cracked framing and holds the opening wide. We also clear storm debris from the roof and around the foundation.
Finding Damage You Can't See From the Yard
High winds often cause more harm than the yard shows. A strong gust can break the adhesive strip under a shingle without tearing it away. Rain then blows under that loose tab during the next storm.
Tim checks the roof, the siding and the attic for these weak points during the storm damage assessment. Inside, our moisture meters show whether rain reached insulation or wall cavities. Wet insulation can start growing mold within days, so our water damage crew dries it or pulls it out.
Storm Damage Repair and Rebuilding
Once the building is sealed and dry, we move on to storm damage repair. We replace broken decking and framing, then restore the siding and windows. One crew carries the job through, so you are not stuck talking to and hiring a new trade for every stage.
Commercial Storm Restoration
Wind damages a commercial building differently from a house. Low-slope roofs usually fail at the edges and corners, where gusts get under the membrane and lift it. Rooftop HVAC units can shift in high winds and tear the flashing around their base, causing leaks that go unnoticed until ceiling tiles stain.
For commercial storm restoration, our crew checks those weak points first. We also look at storefront glass and exterior signs. Anything that could fall on staff or customers gets secured or blocked off before we cover roof openings. Our damage reports also give you documentation to support a business interruption claim, if your policy includes that coverage.
24/7 Storm Response
Our emergency team responds quickly to secure your property and reduce further storm-related damage.

From cleanup and repairs to full restoration, we help restore your property safely and efficiently.
Check Your Property After the Wind Dies Down
Big windstorms can hit the valley in any season. When the ground is waterlogged, trees tend to tip over at the roots instead of snapping. That puts more of them on roofs and fences.
Once it’s daylight and the wind has eased, go out and walk the outside of the house. Look for:
- Shingles scattered in the yard, or bare patches on the roof
- Siding panels that are loose, cracked or gone
- Glass cracks, or a door that no longer latches
- Fresh brown rings on upper-floor ceilings
- Broken limbs still hanging above the roofline
While you wait for our crew:
- Treat every downed line as live, and report it to your power company.
- Keep everyone out of rooms beneath a damaged section of roof.
- Set buckets under drips and move belongings away from wet ceilings.
- Snap pictures of each damaged area, wide and close-up, while everything is still where the storm left it.
- Leave anything resting on the house to a crew with the right equipment.
An open roof stays open until someone covers it, and each rain or snowfall adds interior damage. If water is coming in, it counts as an active emergency. For such situations in the Kalispell area, we dispatch a technician to be on site within 60 minutes.

Does Insurance Cover Wind and Fallen Tree Damage?
Usually, yes. Most homeowner policies cover wind damage to the house and roof. They also typically cover rain that enters through an opening the wind created.
A tree that lands on the house is generally covered for structural repairs and for getting the tree off the building. A tree that falls in the yard without hitting anything is often excluded, or covered only up to a small limit.
Insurers expect you to prevent further damage, and tarping or boarding up is exactly that. Keep every receipt. Deductibles and exclusions differ between policies, so check yours.
Allied works with most insurers, including Travelers, AAA, Farmers and Progressive. We photograph the damage and the temporary repairs, then provide detailed reports for your adjuster.
Why Flathead Valley Owners Call Allied
Tim is on every job, from the first look at the roof to the final walkthrough. Customers describe him as calm and clear about what happened and what comes next. That matters when a storm has just left a hole in your house.
When working with us, the crew that tarps your roof is the same crew that rebuilds it. You won’t have to juggle separate companies for the emergency work and the repairs.
We also look past the obvious damage. On one job, a roof leak had caused attic mold. We cleaned it up, added ventilation and came back at the one-year inspection to make adjustments at no charge. With 31+ years of local experience and more than 1,500 completed jobs, we know how valley windstorms treat local homes.
Wind Damage FAQs
Yes, and reporting early is the better move. Insurers want openings covered quickly, not left exposed while you wait for an adjuster. Photos taken before the tarp goes on keep a record of the original damage.
A properly anchored tarp can hold for several weeks, sometimes a few months. Sun and repeated gusts wear it down, so check it after every storm. Treat it as a bridge to the permanent repair, not a substitute.
You will usually file the claim with your own homeowner policy. If the tree was clearly dead and your neighbor ignored it, your insurer may seek repayment from theirs. In both cases, your own policy is what gets the repairs moving.
