Storm-damaged house? Explore your options.
Storms are unpredictable—but selling your house doesn't have to be.
Severe weather can sometimes deal a heavy blow to your house. Storms, floods, or other severe weather events can cause major damage to your house, leaving you wondering if you should sell your house or go through the process of making repairs. If you’re in this situation, know that you’re not alone. At We Buy Ugly Houses®, we understand that every homeowner’s situation is unique, and we’re here to help—whether you’re looking to sell or just need some guidance on your options.
What kinds of storm damage can affect a house?
Storm damage can take many forms, depending on the severity and type of event. Some of the most common weather-related damage we see includes:
- Wind damage: Torn-off shingles, broken windows, or structural damage.
- Flood damage: Waterlogged floors, weakened foundations, or mold growth.
- Hail damage: Dented roofs, damaged siding, or cracked windows.
- Lightning damage: Electrical issues, burnt siding, or roof damage.
Regardless of the type or extent of the damage, we’re here to help guide you through your options—whether you want to sell your house or just explore what might be best for your situation.
Explore your options after storm damage.
After experiencing storm damage, you have several paths to consider depending on your situation and preferences. One option is to stay in your house and tackle the repairs yourself, which can be a rewarding choice if you have the time, resources, and desire to restore your property. You might instead choose to make some necessary repairs and then list your house on the traditional market, which could help you get a higher sale price, but this route often requires a significant investment of time and effort. If you prefer a more convenient approach, selling to an off-market buyer like We Buy Ugly Houses allows you to skip repairs and sell your house “as is,” offering a quick and hassle-free way to move forward without the stress of a traditional sale. Each option has its advantages, and we’re here to help you navigate them to find the best fit for your unique situation.

Making decisions about your storm-damaged property
Selling a house that’s been affected by a storm may feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. When deciding what to do, there are a few things to consider:
- Disclosure: While each state has different laws about disclosing property damage, being upfront with potential buyers is often in your best interest. If you’re listing your house on the traditional market, it’s important to provide any known details about the damage. This transparency helps protect you from future legal complications. However, if you choose to sell directly with We Buy Ugly Houses, we make the process easier by purchasing houses in almost any condition, so you don’t need to worry about making disclosures or handling repairs.
- Make repairs or sell “as is”: If your house has minor storm damage, you might decide to make repairs before selling. This can be a good option if you’re willing to invest time and effort to restore your house’s value. However, for many homeowners, making repairs can be time-consuming. Selling your house with We Buy Ugly Houses is a convenient alternative that allows you to skip the repairs entirely and sell your house quickly, regardless of its condition.
- Cleaning out the house: If your house has sustained significant damage, you might also have belongings or furniture that have been affected—or maybe there are items you no longer need or want to take with you. One of the advantages of selling to We Buy Ugly Houses is that you don’t need to worry about cleaning out the house. You can leave behind anything you don’t want, and we’ll take care of it for you. This can be a huge relief for homeowners facing the challenge of moving on after storm damage.
