What to Do After a Storm Hits Your Roof

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Hurricanes, hail, and high winds can damage your roof in minutes. Missing shingles, lifted flashing, and hidden leaks often get worse with each rain. Acting fast prevents bigger problems.

We inspect storm damage, document everything with photos, and work directly with your insurance company. Our goal is to get your roof fixed before small damage turns into major water intrusion.

What to expect:

- Inspection within 24-48 hours of your call

- Detailed photos and damage report for insurance

- Written estimate before any work starts

- Direct communication with your adjuster

- Repairs using Florida code-rated materials

- Emergency tarping if your roof is actively leaking

Florida law gives homeowners one year to file storm damage claims. Don't wait until the deadline is close.

Storm Damage Repair FAQs

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Frequently Asked Questions: Storm Damage

Q: How do I know if my roof has storm damage?

A: Look for missing shingles, granules in your gutters, dented vents, or water stains on your ceiling. Even small damage can cause leaks. A professional inspection catches problems you might miss from the ground.

Q: Will my insurance cover storm damage repairs?

A: Most Florida homeowner policies cover wind and hail damage. We document everything and communicate directly with adjusters to support your claim.

Q: How fast can you inspect my roof after a storm?

A: We schedule storm damage inspections within 24-48 hours. If your roof is actively leaking, we offer emergency tarping to protect your home until repairs begin.

How Regular Inspections Save You Money

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

A small crack in your flashing can become a $5,000 repair if you ignore it. Florida's heat, humidity, and storms stress your roof every day. Annual maintenance catches problems early.

Most roofs last 5-10 years longer with regular care. Our maintenance program includes a full inspection, minor repairs, gutter cleaning, and a written report with photos.

What our maintenance program covers:

- Complete inspection of shingles, flashing, vents, and seals

- Gutter and downspout cleaning

- Minor repairs included (resealing boots, replacing damaged shingles)

- Written condition report with photos

- Recommendations for future repairs

Homes with roofs older than 10 years or recent storm activity benefit from twice-yearly inspections. We serve Orlando, Winter Park, Sanford, Kissimmee, and nearby areas.

Our Maintenance Program Includes:

- Full roof inspection (shingles, flashing, vents, penetrations)

- Gutter and downspout cleaning

- Minor repairs included (resealing boots, replacing damaged shingles)

- Written condition report with photos

- Recommendations for future repairs if needed

Most Florida homeowners need an inspection at least once 

per year. If your roof is older than 10 years or you've 

had recent storm activity, twice per year is smarter. 

We serve Orlando, Winter Park, Sanford, Kissimmee, and 

surrounding areas.

Frequently Asked Questions: Roof Maintenance

Q: How often should I have my roof inspected?

A: At least once per year. After any major storm, schedule an inspection right away. Roofs older than 10 years benefit from checks twice per year.

Q: What does roof maintenance cost?

A: Basic inspections start at $199. Annual maintenance plans that include minor repairs and gutter cleaning cost $799 per year. Both cost far less than emergency repairs.

A: We document everything and explain your options clearly. Minor issues are often fixed on the spot. Larger repairs get a separate estimate so you can decide what to do next.

Fix the Problem, Not Just the Symptom

A leak in your bedroom ceiling doesn't mean the hole is directly above it. Water travels along rafters and sheathing before it drips inside. Finding the real source takes experience.

We diagnose roof problems accurately and fix them using materials that match your existing system. Not every roof needs replacement. Sometimes a good repair saves you thousands of dollars.

Common repairs we handle:

- Leak detection and repair

- Missing or damaged shingle replacement

- Flashing repair around chimneys, vents, and skylights

- Pipe boot and vent seal replacement

- Ridge cap and hip repair

- Soffit and fascia repair

All repairs come with a warranty. Our own crews do the work. No subcontractors.

 Frequently Asked Questions: Roof Repair

Q: How do I know if I need repair or full replacement?

A: Repair makes sense when damage is limited to one area and your roof is under 15 years old. Replacement makes sense when you have multiple problem areas, widespread wear, or your roof is approaching the end of its lifespan. We'll inspect and give you an honest recommendation.

Q: How much does roof repair cost?

A: Minor repairs like resealing or replacing a few shingles cost $150-$400. Larger repairs involving flashing or multiple areas run $500-$1,500. We provide detailed quotes before starting any work.

Q: What are warning signs I need roof repair?

A: Water stains on ceilings, missing or curling shingles, granules in gutters, daylight visible through attic boards, or higher energy bills. Any of these can signal a roof problem.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

When Repair No Longer Makes Sense

Every roof has a lifespan. Asphalt shingles in Florida typically last 15-20 years. Tile can last 30-50 years. Metal roofs can exceed 40 years with proper maintenance. When repairs start adding up, replacement becomes the smarter investment.

We tear off your old roof, inspect the wood deck underneath, and install a complete new system. Every installation includes new underlayment, proper ventilation, and compliance with Florida building codes.

Signs you may need replacement:

- Roof is 15-20+ years old (for asphalt shingles)

- Widespread shingle damage or loss

- Sagging areas or structural concerns

- Multiple leaks in different spots

- Insurance company requires a replacement for policy renewal

Materials we install:

- Architectural asphalt shingles (impact-resistant options available)

- Metal roofing (standing seam and metal shingles)

- Concrete and clay tile

- Flat roof systems (TPO, modified bitumen)

We pull all permits and schedule required inspections. Licensed (#CCC1332238), insured, and BBB A+ rated.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Frequently Asked Questions: Roof Replacement

Q: How much does a new roof cost?

A: Most asphalt shingle replacements cost $8,000-$15,000 depending on roof size, pitch, and material. Metal roofs typically run $15,000-$30,000. Tile ranges from $20,000-$40,000. We provide detailed, itemized quotes.

Q: How long does replacement take?

A: Most homes take 1-3 days. Larger roofs or complex materials like tile may take 3-5 days. We give you a timeline before work begins.

Q: What roofing material is best for Florida hurricanes?

A: Metal roofs and impact-resistant shingles rated for high winds offer the best protection. We recommend materials with Class 4 impact ratings and 130+ mph wind ratings for Central Florida homes.

Protect Your Foundation from Florida's Heavy Rains

Central Florida gets over 50 inches of rain per year. Without gutters, that water pours off your roof, splashes against your house, pools around your foundation, and erodes your landscaping. Clogged or damaged gutters cause the same problems.

We install seamless aluminum gutters custom-made on-site to fit your home. No joints means fewer leaks. Hidden hangers spaced for heavy rain keep gutters secure during storms.

Our gutter services:

- Seamless aluminum gutter installation (5" and 6" profiles)

- Gutter guard installation to keep debris out

- Gutter repair and rehanging

- Downspout extensions and drainage solutions

- Gutter cleaning (standalone or with maintenance plans)

Proper slope ensures water flows to downspouts instead of overflowing. Multiple color options available to match your home.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Frequently Asked Questions: Gutters

Q: How much do seamless gutters cost?

A: Seamless aluminum gutters typically cost $6-$12 per linear foot installed. A typical home with 150-200 feet of gutters runs $1,000-$2,000 depending on height and accessibility.

Q: Do I need gutter guards?

A: If you have trees near your roof, gutter guards significantly reduce maintenance and prevent clogs. They're especially valuable before hurricane season when clear gutters matter most.

Q: How often should I clean my gutters in Florida?

A: At least twice per year: once before hurricane season (May-June) and once after leaves fall (November-December). Homes with overhanging trees may need quarterly cleaning.
