GRAND BLANC, Michigan – As residential areas continue recovery efforts following the tornado, local businesses like Gold Medal Roofing Company and Owen Tree Service are lending a helping hand to homeowners in need.
The Gold Medal Roofing Company uses advanced technology like Hail Trace and storm radars to pinpoint areas most affected by the EF-2 tornado.
Canvasser Brian R. McIsaac says they offer free inspections to homeowners, focusing on neighborhoods like Kings Pointe and those along Hill Road.
Sales Manager, Brandon Perry, for Gold Medal Roofing company emphasizes the importance of thorough inspections.
“Inspections are free, and you don’t know… a lot of our guys are trained to get up there, look for damage, look for collateral to help your case to get you that roof through your insurance.”
Perry reiterates the significance of inspections, urging homeowners to consider them even if no visible damage is apparent.
He emphasizes the challenge of assessing roof damage from ground level, underscoring the necessity of professional evaluations.
Meanwhile, homeowners are also grappling with tree removal, as much of the damage stemmed from uprooted trees and fallen branches.
David Evans, a board-certified arborist with Owen Tree Service, says things are improving in Grand Blanc as tree companies are working hard to clean up residential areas.
However, he stresses the ongoing need for risk assessment on standing trees, as they still pose potential hazards.
While cleanup and restoration efforts continue, the collaborative efforts of Gold Medal Roofing, Owen Tree Service, and other local businesses provide vital support to Grand Blanc residents as they navigate the aftermath of the tornado.
