Exterior Painting After a Storm: Repairing Damage and Restoring Beauty
Mother Nature can be unpredictable—especially during Utah’s windstorms. When a massive tree was blown over in Salt Lake County, it left behind more than just a mess. The fallen tree caused damage to the home’s exterior, requiring immediate attention. At Rent A Dad, we stepped in to handle the cleanup, repairs, and exterior painting to restore the home’s beauty. In this post, we’ll walk you through the process and show you how we turned a disaster into a fresh start.
The Problem: Storm Damage and Exterior Scars
The windstorm didn’t just knock over a tree—it left a trail of damage in its wake. Here’s what we were dealing with:
Tree Fall: A massive tree had been uprooted, crashing into the home and leaving scratches, dents, and paint damage on the exterior walls.
Paint Damage: The impact stripped away sections of paint, exposing the underlying material to the elements.
Messy Aftermath: The area around the tree was littered with debris, branches, and dirt, making it unsafe and unsightly.

At Rent A Dad, we’re no strangers to tackling tough jobs. Here’s how we restored the home’s exterior to its former glory:
Cleanup: We removed the fallen tree, branches, and debris, ensuring the area was safe and clean.
Repairs: We fixed any structural damage caused by the tree, including filling dents and smoothing out scratches.
Color Matching: Using advanced techniques, we matched the existing paint color perfectly to ensure a seamless repair.
Exterior Painting: We repainted the damaged areas, blending the new paint with the old for a flawless finish.
Final Touches: We cleaned up the surrounding area, leaving the property looking better than ever.
