To prevent further damage or unauthorized access, secure your property by boarding up windows and doors. If needed, Goldenline Construction offers emergency services to help protect your home.
4. Document the Damage:
Take photos and videos of the damage for your insurance claim. Keep a detailed inventory of damaged items.
