Storm Damage
Closed Your Business. We Get It
Open Again.
When a monsoon damages a commercial property, the roof, the glass, and the envelope are only part of the problem — the real cost is the business that cannot operate until the property is restored. Every day a storefront stays boarded up, a restaurant stays closed, or an office stays offline is a day of lost revenue, disrupted operations, and customers going elsewhere. Commercial storm damage restoration is not just a construction problem — it is a business continuity problem, and the contractor who does not understand that treats a closed business like a routine repair job. RCS Builders restores commercial properties across Greater Phoenix after storm damage — with the response speed, the phasing, and the business-interruption awareness that a commercial property requires. We secure the property immediately, get the critical areas operational as fast as possible, coordinate the full commercial insurance claim including business income coverage, and rebuild everything completely. One call. Done right.

⚠️ For a Commercial Property, the Storm Damage Is Only Half the Loss — the Other Half Is Every Day You Cannot Operate
Commercial storm damage carries a cost that residential damage does not — business interruption. A homeowner whose roof is damaged is inconvenienced. A business whose roof is damaged may be losing thousands of dollars a day in revenue, paying staff who cannot work, and watching customers take their business elsewhere. The longer the property stays offline, the deeper the loss compounds beyond the physical damage itself. This is why commercial storm damage response is measured differently than residential — the priority is not just repairing the building, it is getting the business operational again as fast as possible, phasing the work to reopen critical areas first, and coordinating the business income portion of the insurance claim. We respond to commercial storm damage with the operational urgency a business requires, because we understand that for you, downtime is the largest line item in the loss.
Commercial Storm Damage We Restore
Every Type of Commercial Storm Damage We Restore in Greater Phoenix
Phoenix monsoon season brings microbursts, haboobs, straight-line winds, hail, and flash flooding — and commercial properties present specific vulnerabilities that residential structures do not. Here is every type of commercial storm damage we restore.
01
Commercial Roof Storm Damage
Commercial roofing systems — flat membrane, TPO, and low-slope — are particularly vulnerable to monsoon wind uplift and hail. Storm damage to commercial roofing leads to water intrusion across large open floor plates, damaging inventory, equipment, and finishes. We assess and restore commercial roof storm damage and the water intrusion that follows it.
Flat & TPO Systems · Water Intrusion
02
Storefront & Glazing Damage
Large-format commercial glazing and storefront systems are shattered by windblown debris in monsoon events — breaching the envelope, exposing the interior, and taking a customer-facing business offline. We board up and secure damaged storefronts immediately, then restore the glazing and storefront systems to get the business visible and open again.
Storefront Systems · Emergency Board-Up
03
Wind & Debris Impact
Straight-line monsoon winds and haboob-launched debris damage commercial building envelopes, rooftop equipment, signage, and exterior systems. We assess the full scope of wind and debris impact across the property and restore every affected system.
Envelope · Rooftop Equipment · Signage
04
Flooding & Water Intrusion
Monsoon flash flooding and roof-breach water intrusion flood commercial interiors — damaging flooring, drywall, inventory, and equipment across large commercial spaces. We extract, dry, and restore commercial flood and water intrusion damage, coordinating with your operations to protect what can be saved.
Flash Flood · Large-Format Extraction
05
Electrical & Systems Damage
Storm water intrusion and lightning damage commercial electrical systems, HVAC, and building systems — often the systems a business cannot operate without. We assess and coordinate the restoration of damaged commercial systems with licensed trades, prioritizing the systems that get the business operational.
Systems Restoration · Operational Priority
06
Multi-Tenant & Common Area Damage
Storm damage to multi-tenant commercial properties affects multiple businesses and shared common areas simultaneously — requiring coordination across tenants, property management, and the shared building systems. We manage multi-tenant storm restoration with the coordination that multiple affected businesses require.

Getting You Operational
How We Get Your Business Operational Fastest — The Phasing That Minimizes Your Downtime
The difference between a commercial storm restoration that protects your business and one that treats it like a residential repair is phasing — the deliberate sequencing of the work to get you operational as fast as possible, not just to complete the project efficiently.
1
Secure and stabilize first
The immediate priority is securing the property to stop further damage and make the site safe — emergency tarping, board-up, water extraction, and hazard mitigation. This happens within hours, 24/7.
2
Identify the critical path to reopening
Not every area of a commercial property is equally critical to operations. We identify the minimum scope required to get you operational — the areas, systems, and finishes that must be restored before you can reopen, even partially — and we prioritize that scope first.
3
Phase to reopen in stages where possible
Many commercial storm restorations can be phased so the business reopens in stages rather than staying fully closed until the entire project is complete. We sequence the work to bring operational areas back online while restoration continues in areas that are not customer-facing or operationally critical.
4
Coordinate around your operations
For businesses that can operate partially during restoration, we contain the work, control dust and noise, and schedule disruptive work around your operating hours where possible. We work around your business — not the other way around.

Immediate Action Guide
Storm Just Damaged Your Commercial Property — Do These Things Right Now
Step 01
Ensure the safety of employees and customers
Get everyone out of any damaged or unsafe area. Check for downed power lines, structural hazards, and standing water near electrical systems. Do not allow anyone back into damaged areas until they have been assessed as safe.
Step 02
Call RCS Builders — (480) 204-9035 — 24/7
Tell us your business address, what happened, and the extent of the visible damage. We respond immediately to secure the property and begin the reopening plan. The faster we secure it, the smaller the total loss and the faster you reopen.
Step 03
Document the damage and the business impact
Photograph the damage as extensively as it is safe to do so — and begin documenting the business impact, including the closure, lost revenue, and any extra expenses. This documentation supports both the property damage claim and the business income portion of the claim.
Step 04
Notify your insurance carrier
Report the loss to your commercial carrier. We coordinate directly with your adjuster from that point forward — including the business income and extra expense coverage that most commercial policies include for storm-related closures.
Step 05
Let us build the reopening plan
Once we have assessed the property, we build a phased plan that prioritizes getting you operational fastest. You focus on your business and your customers — we focus on getting your property restored and reopened.
Commercial Storm Damage Includes Business Income Coverage. We Coordinate the Full Claim.
Commercial property insurance covers storm damage as a named peril — and most commercial policies also include business income and extra expense coverage that reimburses lost revenue and additional operating costs during the restoration period. This business interruption coverage is frequently underutilized because it requires specific documentation of the closure, the lost income, and the extra expenses incurred. We document the property damage for the physical loss portion of the claim, and we support the business income documentation by providing a clear restoration timeline and scope that the carrier can use to adjust the business interruption portion. We coordinate the full commercial claim with your adjuster from the first response through reopening.
- Emergency stabilization documented and covered
- Full property damage scope — Xactimate commercial estimate
- Business income and extra expense claim supported with timeline and scope
- Multi-tenant and common area damage documented per tenant where applicable
- Adjuster coordination from response through reopening
- Concealed damage supplemented when identified during restoration
- Works with all major Arizona commercial property carriers

"A monsoon tore up the flat roof on our Tempe office building and flooded the top floor. RCS was out that night, tarped the roof, extracted the water, and had our critical areas operational within days while they rebuilt the rest. They understood we could not just shut down."

"RCS helped us document the business income portion of our storm claim that we did not even know we could file. The restoration timeline they provided is what our adjuster used to approve the business interruption coverage. That was real money we would have left on the table."

Questions & Answers
Commercial Storm Damage — Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you respond to commercial storm damage?
We respond 24/7 to commercial storm damage across Greater Phoenix. For a commercial property, response speed directly affects both the total damage and your downtime — the faster we secure the property and begin the reopening plan, the smaller the loss and the sooner you are operational. We prioritize commercial emergency response because we understand that downtime is often the largest cost in a commercial loss.
Can you keep my business partially open during restoration?
In many cases yes — commercial storm restoration is frequently phased so the business can reopen in stages rather than staying fully closed until the entire project is complete. We identify the critical path to getting you operational, prioritize that scope, and contain the ongoing restoration work away from operational areas. We build the plan around getting you back in business fastest.
What is business income coverage and does my policy have it?
Business income coverage — also called business interruption coverage — reimburses lost revenue and extra operating expenses during the period your business cannot operate due to covered damage. Most commercial property policies include it. It is frequently underutilized because it requires specific documentation of the closure, the lost income, and the restoration timeline. We support that claim by providing a clear restoration timeline and scope your adjuster can use to adjust the business income portion.
Do you handle multi-tenant commercial properties?
Yes — we manage storm restoration for multi-tenant commercial properties, coordinating across multiple affected tenants, property management, and shared building systems. We document each tenant space separately where required for individual claims, and we coordinate the shared common area restoration with property management.
Do you coordinate the whole insurance claim?
Yes — we document the property damage, provide the Xactimate commercial estimate, support the business income documentation with a restoration timeline and scope, and coordinate directly with your adjuster from the first response through reopening. We supplement the claim when concealed damage is identified during restoration.
