FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Mulberry?
First, make sure everyone is safe and keep clear of any downed power lines or unstable structures. Next, take photos or video of visible damage from the ground; this documentation helps with insurance claims. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself, as wet or broken shingles can be dangerous. Call a qualified local roofer as soon as possible to perform a professional inspection and install emergency tarping if necessary to prevent further water intrusion.
How quickly can you inspect and tarp my roof after I call?
Because storm damage can worsen rapidly, we prioritize emergency calls. In most cases we can have a technician on-site in Mulberry within 24 hours—often the same day—to perform a visual assessment and apply a temporary tarp or shrink-wrap system. This fast response minimizes interior water damage while we prepare a full repair plan.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof repairs?
Most standard homeowner policies in Florida cover sudden and accidental damage caused by wind, hail, or falling debris, minus your deductible. After our inspection, we provide a detailed report and photos you can submit to your insurer. We can also meet with the adjuster on-site to point out damage that isn’t obvious from the ground, helping you receive a fair settlement. Final coverage depends on your individual policy limits and exclusions.
Can you match my existing shingles or metal panels during repair?
Yes. We stock and source a wide range of architectural shingles, three-tab shingles, and popular metal panel profiles used in Polk County. If your exact color or style has been discontinued, we work with manufacturers to find the closest available match or, when necessary, recommend a partial or full section replacement so the finished roof looks consistent and complies with code.
How long does a typical storm-damage roof repair take in Mulberry?
Minor shingle replacements or small flashing repairs can often be completed in one day. Moderate repairs—such as replacing several roof sections, damaged decking, or underlayment—usually take 2–3 days. If a full roof replacement is required, expect 1–2 days for tear-off and 1–3 additional days for installation, depending on roof size and weather. We provide a written timeline before work begins and keep you updated if weather delays occur.
Are you licensed, insured, and familiar with Florida Building Code requirements for storm repairs?
Absolutely. We hold a Florida roofing contractor license, carry both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and pull all required Mulberry or Polk County permits. Our crews follow the latest Florida Building Code, including enhanced wind-uplift fastening patterns and secondary water barriers mandated for storm-prone areas. This ensures your repaired roof meets current safety standards and passes final inspection without issues.
