"Storm damage repair in Wyoming" is the search people type after hail or wind has already opened the house. A roofer handles the hole. Restoration is the water that came through it, the wet insulation, and the claim photos that prove both.
We already wrote a first-24-hours storm checklist, plus separate pieces on hail and wind. This one is the repair itself: what Restoration Wranglers actually does in Sublette County after the storm, and what we do not.
The storm is over. The water is not.
Wyoming wind and hail open roofs, siding, and windows. Rain follows. In Pinedale, Big Piney, and the rest of the county, that water does not sit politely on the floor. It wicks into drywall, soaks blown-in insulation, and shows up in the attic two rooms over. If you only patch the shingles, the house can still grow mold in a week.
That is different from ice dams, which push meltwater under a roof that still looks intact. Storm repair starts with an opening you can often see from the yard. The hidden part is everything the water touched inside.
What restoration repairs, and what a roofer repairs
A roofer (or a carpenter) closes the building: tarp, shingles, siding, a window. We are IICRC certified for water damage: extract standing water, map moisture, dry the assembly, and document it for insurance. We do not reroof the house. We keep the wet rooms from becoming a second claim.
A useful split:
- Roofer: missing shingles, lifted metal, a broken skylight, a tree on the roof
- Restoration: wet carpet and pad, damp drywall, attic insulation, contents that got rained on, odor if it sat
- Both: photos before anyone throws anything away. We wrote a Wyoming water-loss documentation walkthrough for that.
If the roof is still open, get it covered. Then call us for the inside. Doing the inside first with an open roof just wets the same rooms twice.
What a Sublette County visit looks like
We work 7am to 7pm. Call 307-323-7777. If it is after hours, photograph the rooms, shut off water if a pipe is involved, and keep people off a wet attic. Do not demo drywall in the dark.
On site we extract, set air movers and dehumidifiers, and write down moisture readings so the claim matches the house. Rebuild, if you need it, comes after the structure is actually dry. That is slower than a tarp. It is also why the next storm does not reopen the same stain.
If wind or hail put water in a Pinedale, Big Piney, Marbleton, or Bondurant house, Restoration Wranglers can walk it. We are licensed, insured, and local. We will tell you if it is a roofer job, a drying job, or both.
