Your Storm Claim, Step by Step
Tampa Bay sits squarely in hurricane territory — June through November every year. Here's how a Florida storm damage claim actually unfolds from the first call to the closed permit.
Emergency Stabilization & Tarping
If your roof is actively leaking, we stabilize it first — emergency tarping and dry-in to stop water intrusion. Florida insurers expect homeowners to mitigate further damage after a storm, and documented emergency protection strengthens your claim rather than hurting it.
Damage Documentation Within Days, Not Weeks
Florida law gives you a limited window to report hurricane and windstorm claims — currently one year from the date of loss. We photograph and measure every wind crease, lifted shingle, and impact mark while the evidence is fresh, tied to the storm date.
Claim Filing & Adjuster Meeting
You file the claim with our written assessment in hand; we meet your carrier's adjuster on the roof and walk the damage together. Since 2019 we've handled hundreds of Tampa Bay storm claims and know exactly what Citizens and private carriers require.
Scope Approval — Repair vs. Full Replacement
Florida Building Code's 25% rule matters here: if more than 25% of a roof section must be repaired within a 12-month period, that section generally has to be brought up to current code — which often turns a large repair into a covered replacement.
Permitted Work & Final Inspection
We pull the Hillsborough County (or your local municipality's) roofing permit, complete the work to current wind-uplift code, and schedule the county's in-progress and final inspections. You receive the closed permit, warranty paperwork, and photos for your insurance file.
Not sure whether last night's storm actually damaged your roof? Wind damage is often invisible from the ground — lifted shingles reseal and hide creases that fail months later. Schedule a free roof inspection and we'll document everything with photos before you decide anything. And once your roof is restored, a wind mitigation inspection can turn the upgrades into real savings — Florida law requires insurers to discount premiums for documented hurricane-resistance features.
