FAQs
What types of storm damage do your licensed roofing crews commonly see in Ocoee?
In Central Florida, wind, hail, and torrential rain are the primary causes of roof damage. High-velocity winds can lift or crease shingles, hail can bruise or puncture roofing materials, and wind-driven rain often forces water beneath loose flashing or damaged underlayment. Our inspectors look for missing shingles, granule loss, dents in metal components, lifted flashing, and water staining in the attic—issues that can lead to leaks and interior damage if not repaired promptly.
Are you fully licensed and insured to perform storm damage restoration in Florida?
Yes. Our company holds an active Florida Certified Roofing Contractor license (CCC#) and general liability and workers’ compensation coverage that meets state and municipal requirements. This protects you from liability in the event of an onsite accident and guarantees that our work complies with the Florida Building Code, local Ocoee ordinances, and manufacturer installation specifications.
How quickly can you respond after a storm, and do you offer emergency tarping?
We maintain 24/7 standby crews during hurricane season and severe-weather alerts. In most cases we can be onsite within 2–4 hours of your call to perform a free inspection and install emergency tarps. Temporary tarping prevents additional water intrusion and secures the structure while the insurance claim is processed and permanent repairs are scheduled.
What is the typical storm-damage repair or replacement timeline?
After the initial inspection, we document damage with photos and a detailed report for your insurance carrier within 24 hours. Once the claim is approved, material delivery usually takes 2–5 business days. A standard asphalt-shingle roof replacement on a 2,000-sq-ft home in Ocoee takes one to two days, while repairs such as replacing a few squares of shingles and flashing can often be completed the same day. Weather permitting, the entire process—from inspection to final cleanup—averages 7–14 days.
Can you help with the insurance claim process?
Absolutely. Our team includes claim specialists who guide you through every step: filing the initial notice of loss, meeting the adjuster onsite, supplying itemized Xactimate estimates, and clarifying code-upgrade requirements (such as Florida’s Secondary Water Barrier and enhanced nailing patterns). Although we cannot act as public adjusters, we provide the documentation and technical expertise necessary to maximize your coverage and minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
How do you ensure the repaired or replaced roof will withstand future storms?
We install roofing systems rated for 130-mph wind uplift, meeting or exceeding Florida Building Code requirements. Upgrades include six-nail shingle fastening, enhanced ridge and hip caps, peel-and-stick underlayment, and stainless-steel or aluminum flashing to resist corrosion in Florida’s humid climate. All workmanship is backed by a 10-year labor warranty, and manufacturers’ warranties of up to 50 years apply to the materials. Before final payment, we perform a multi-point quality inspection and provide you with a warranty certificate and maintenance guidelines to help your new roof perform optimally during future storm events.
