Lake Charles took a direct hit from Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020, and storm risk is a fact of life on the Gulf Coast. Brothers Construction repairs wind, water and debris damage and can work from an insurance scope of work.
Lake Charles has been through more than its share of hurricanes, and Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020 left a lasting mark on the local construction market. Wind-borne debris region requirements under Louisiana Uniform Construction Code mean roofing and structural repairs are built to current wind-load and hurricane-strap standards, not simply patched to match decades-old construction, and water intrusion is fully dried out, sometimes with mold remediation, before drywall or flooring goes back in.
We document damage thoroughly with photos and a written scope, which matters whether you are working with your insurance adjuster directly or through a public adjuster, and we tell you honestly where our assessment and the insurance company scope disagree. Photographing the roof, attic and affected interior before any tarping or temporary repair protects your claim, and we build that documentation into the very first visit.
A quick, safe inspection after any hurricane or major wind event helps catch damage before it gets worse.
Rebuilding correctly after a Gulf Coast storm means more than patching what broke.
Louisiana building code has been updated since many area homes were built. Roof and structural repairs are done to current wind-load and strap requirements, which can mean more than a simple like-for-like patch.
Clear photos and a written scope matter for claims. We document damage thoroughly and can work from, or alongside, your insurer scope of work.
After a major hurricane, material and contractor availability tighten across the whole region. We give honest timelines rather than promises we cannot keep.
Humidity accelerates mold growth after any water intrusion. Drying out the structure properly before closing up walls is not an optional step.
Calcasieu Parish falls within a wind-borne debris region under Louisiana code, which sets specific requirements for roofing attachment and, in some cases, opening protection during repairs and new construction.
If your insurance company scope of work seems low, a public adjuster or a second contractor opinion is a reasonable step. We will tell you plainly if we think a scope is missing something.
