FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage after severe weather in Ocoee?
Some signs are obvious—missing shingles, torn flashing, or visible holes—but many issues are subtle. Look for granules collecting in gutters, dark spots on shingles, dents on vents or soft metal, and water stains on interior ceilings or attic decking. Because wind uplift and hail bruising can be hard to spot from the ground, we recommend scheduling a free professional inspection after any major thunder-storm, hailstorm, or tropical system passes through Ocoee.
What should I do immediately after noticing storm damage to my roof?
Put safety first: stay on the ground and keep family members away from downed power lines or loose debris. Photograph visible damage for documentation and call our 24/7 emergency line. We can dispatch a crew the same day to install temporary tarps that prevent additional water intrusion. Avoid making permanent repairs yourself until both your insurance adjuster and a licensed roofing contractor have assessed the damage.
Does homeowners insurance typically cover storm-related roof damage in Ocoee?
In most cases, yes. Wind, hail, and fallen-tree impacts are generally covered perils under standard HO-3 and HO-5 policies in Florida, subject to your deductible and any hurricane deductible if a named storm was involved. Coverage can be denied for pre-existing wear, so prompt documentation is essential. We provide a detailed inspection report, photos, and a damage estimate formatted to insurance guidelines (Xactimate) to strengthen your claim.
How quickly can you respond to emergency tarping and repairs in Ocoee?
We maintain on-call crews year-round and can usually arrive within 1–3 hours of your call, day or night. During widespread weather events we prioritize the most urgent leaks first, but every property receives a secure, code-compliant tarp and moisture check before we leave. Permanent repairs or full roof replacement are scheduled as soon as materials are available—often within a week for asphalt shingles and 10–14 days for tile or metal systems.
Can you work directly with my insurance company during the claims process?
Absolutely. Our licensed public adjuster liaison can meet the adjuster onsite, explain our findings, and advocate for the full scope of repairs required by Florida Building Code 7th Edition. We handle all supplemental paperwork, depreciation recoverables, and final invoicing so you only pay your deductible and any elective upgrades. This start-to-finish support saves homeowners an average of 20–30 hours of calls and emails.
