Beware of Storm Chasers: Protect Your Home and Your Investment

After severe weather hits Minnesota, it's common to see out-of-state contractors, often called "storm chasers" flooding neighborhoods offering quick repairs and aggressive sales pitches. While some may seem legitimate, homeowners should understand the risks before signing a contract.
Many storm-chasing companies arrive after a storm, collect deposits, complete substandard work, and may disappear before problems arise. In some cases, required permits are never obtained, inspections are skipped, and warranties become worthless once the company leaves the area.
Unpermitted work can create serious issues when it comes time to sell your home. Buyers, lenders, and insurance companies may require proof that repairs were properly permitted and inspected. Missing permits can delay a sale, reduce property value, require costly corrections, and even lead to financial penalties from local authorities.
When choosing a contractor, verify that they are licensed, insured, and established in your community. A local company has a reputation to protect and will be available long after the work is completed.
At McLysne Construction, we're proud to be a Minnesota-owned, licensed, and insured contractor serving homeowners with integrity and accountability. We obtain the proper permits, follow local building codes, and stand behind our work long after the storm has passed.
If your home has suffered storm damage, don't trust a company that may be gone tomorrow. Work with a local contractor you can count on today—and years from now.
