Helpful Info for Anyone Affected by the Recent Wind Storm From Dave & Travis

We wanted to send this out quickly because the last four weeks of heavy wind here in the Mat-Su have been rough. We’ve seen sustained high winds at times close to hurricane force and unfortunately, a lot of people have been affected.

I posted briefly about this and a good friend of mine, Brian Sherburn with Keller Williams, reached out and shared something important with me: State disaster assistance is available for wind-related damage from the December storm.

I’ll share this personally I called my insurance company and found out I have a $10,000 deductible. Like many homeowners, that makes smaller (but still necessary) repairs hard to justify. In my case, I’ve got a roof vent at the peak of the roof flopping in the wind, and I’m pretty sure I lost some roofing in another area. I haven’t even been able to get up there yet.

I spoke directly with Lea, who handles these applications, and she was incredibly helpful. From what I understand, it doesn’t matter whether you have insurance or not. If the damage was caused by the wind storm, there’s a good chance it could qualify.
