We Know Exactly What You Are Going Through
There is a specific kind of helplessness that comes after a major Louisiana storm. Whether it was the sound of a limb hitting the roof or the sight of shingles scattered across your yard, the aftermath of a hurricane or high wind event is overwhelming. You are likely worried about the next rain cloud on the horizon and whether your home is truly protected. When the wind stops and the adrenaline wears off, the reality of the repairs can feel like a mountain you cannot climb. At Simmons Builders, we are your neighbors first. We have lived through these same storms and we know that right now you just need someone to show up, secure your home, and tell you that it is going to be okay.
The confusion of what to do first can be paralyzing. Do you call the insurance agent before the tree is removed? How do you even start a claim when your internet is down and your roof is leaking? These are the fears we help you face every day. Our first step is always to secure your property to prevent further damage while we help you navigate the complex insurance process. We will help you document every shingle and every drop of water for your adjuster. You are not just a claim number to us. We are here to guide you through the restoration from the first tarp we lay down to the final nail we drive in.

We Help Make Insurance Claims Easier
Dealing with the insurance side of storm damage can feel almost as stressful and confusing as the damage itself. Policies are full of jargon, exclusions, and technical terms, and it is not always clear what to do first or what to say to get coverage. At Simmons Builders, we believe you should not have to navigate that complex process alone. From the start of your project, we document what we see with photos, measurements, and moisture readings. This includes capturing the immediate state of your home before and after we install emergency tarping to ensure the insurance company sees exactly how we protected your property from further rain.
We also provide detailed, line-by-line estimates using Xactimate, the industry-standard software that insurance carriers prefer to use. This breaks down the costs for emergency tarping, mitigation, drying, and repairs in a way that makes sense to the insurance company and speeds up the process. When adjusters have questions about the scope of work, we are happy to speak with them directly, walk them through the home, or explain why certain steps were needed to protect the property. Our goal is to make your claim as smooth as possible while still protecting your home and your long-term interests. We act as your advocate to ensure you get what you are owed under your policy.
Insurance support you can expect from us includes:
- Clear photos of the initial damage, emergency tarping, moisture readings, and notes that document your loss from Day 1.
- Accurate estimates for emergency services, mitigation, drying, and build-back.
- Direct communication with your adjuster to answer technical questions and justify the scope of work.
The Restoration Process
Emergency Call & Assessment:
When the storm clears and you see the damage, give us a call. You will speak with a local professional who understands the unique threats of Louisiana weather. We will assess the situation over the phone and provide immediate safety advice while our nearest crew is dispatched to your location.
Fast On-Site Arrival:
We know that a hole in your roof or a broken window is an open invitation for more damage. Our teams are stationed in Alexandria and Reeves to ensure we reach your home within 60 minutes. Seeing our truck pull up means you no longer have to face the aftermath alone.
Damage Mitigation & Cleanup:
Hurricanes bring a mix of wind and water that requires a specialized response. We immediately secure your property with professional board-up services and heavy duty roof tarping to stop the rain. If the storm pushed water inside, we begin extraction and drying immediately to prevent mold from taking hold in the humidity that follows the storm.
Full Restoration & Repair:
Once your home is dry and protected from the elements, we start the rebuilding process. As licensed builders, we handle everything from structural roof repairs to interior finishing. We do not just put a patch on the problem. We restore your home to its pre-storm condition so your family can get back to normal.

A torndao hit our home and so many different types of issues came because of it! Fence, Roof, Pipes, Insurance, etc! Simmons Builders tackled all of them with unmatched knowledge, and a home felt southern charm.

Kevin L., Lafayette, LA
After the last hurricane, a tree limb came through our master bedroom and the rain was pouring in. Simmons Builders was out here in the middle of the night to tarp the roof and board up the broken window. They are honest, hard working people who saved our home from being a total loss.
~ John D., DeRidder
