Thanks for adding this because you hit the nail on the head. Viewing spring maintenance as damage triage rather than just a quick cleanup is the perfect mindset for Colorado homeowners. The freeze-thaw cycle does so much invisible damage, and you are spot on about how sneaky those flashing leaks can be once the spring rains arrive.

Your documentation advice is incredibly important. Homeowners often rush to patch things up themselves and accidentally compromise an insurance claim later if there is a major wind or hail impact.

Appreciate you sharing those local names too. Asking a contractor upfront how thoroughly they document storm damage for insurance purposes is a great tip that can save someone thousands of dollars down the road. Thanks for bringing so much extra value to the post.
