Signs of
storm damage.
Some damage is obvious. A lot of it isn’t, and can turn into leaks and rot months later. Look for these signs, then let us take a closer look.
Lifted or missing material
Shingles creased or torn off, tiles slipped or broken, metal panels or trim loosened.
New leaks or stains
Water spots on ceilings or walls, or damp insulation in the attic.
Debris impact
Dents, punctures and cracks where branches or debris hit the roof.
Exposed underlayment
Dark patches where the covering is gone and the underlayment shows.
Gutter & edge damage
Bent gutters, loose drip edge and granules washed into downspouts.
Damage nearby
If your neighbors have damage, your roof may too, even if you can’t see it.

What should I do right after a storm damages my roof?
Stay safe and stay off the roof. Take photos of damage from the ground and inside, move valuables away from leaks, then call us for an inspection and emergency tarping if needed.
Will my insurance cover storm damage?
That depends on your policy and your insurer’s decision. We provide detailed photos and a written report you can share with your insurance company to support your claim.
How do I avoid storm chasers?
Work with a local, licensed roofer. In Florida you can verify a contractor’s license at myfloridalicense.com. Be cautious of anyone asking for large payments up front or pressuring you to sign on the spot.
