Cost breakdown by scope
Different sizes of loss land in different ranges. Here's how we typically tier them:

|---|---|---|
| Emergency tarp + board-up | Stabilization only, no interior work | $800 – $2,500 |
| Tarp + water mitigation | Roof secured plus interior drying | $2,500 – $7,000 |
| Multi-component storm response | Tree impact, water, debris, contents | $7,000 – $22,000 |
What moves the cost
- Roof tarp area + access difficulty
- Board-up linear footage
- Interior water mitigation scope
- Debris removal
- Time-of-event premium (during widespread events)
Insurance coverage
Storm damage is typically covered under "wind/hail" or "weather" perils. Some carriers carry separate windstorm deductibles in storm-prone areas. Flood (rising water from outside) requires separate flood insurance.

Yes. Every Catalyst project starts with a free inspection and a written, line-itemed scope of work using industry-standard Xactimate pricing. You see the number before any work begins.
Significant change orders only happen when the scope itself changes (e.g., we discover additional damage behind a wall during demolition). When that happens, we stop, photograph, document, and re-scope with you and the adjuster before continuing. No surprise charges.
