Florida Hurricane Roofing Resource Center

Roofing guidance for Florida homeowners before, during & after a storm

Hurricane season can put even a well maintained roof under tremendous stress. Use these resources to prepare, protect your home, and know exactly what to do if storm damage happens.

Mid August through mid October is the busy stretch

This is when named storms actually reach the Gulf coast. Run the pre storm walk around now, know what you would do if water came through the ceiling, and get photos of your roof saved before anything happens.

Hurricane Roofing Resources

Seven guides written by the crew that has repaired Pasco County roofs since 2003. No fluff, no scare tactics, and an honest note in every one about when not to spend money.

Before the Storm

Almost every roof we repair after a named storm had a visible problem before it. A lifted shingle, a loose edge, a cracked pipe boot. Wind finds the weak spot first. These guides cover the season long work and the seventy two hour scramble once a storm has a name.

During the Storm

Nobody belongs on a roof during a hurricane. Not you, and not us. What you can do is limit the damage inside, keep everyone away from the parts of the house taking water, and start the record your claim will rest on.

Read the full During the Storm guide

After the Storm

The first seventy two hours after a storm shape how the whole claim goes. Photograph before you clean up anything, dry the inside out, get a real tarp over anything open, and keep every receipt you generate.

Protect Yourself

Out of state crews follow storm tracks into Pasco County every year. Some are fine. Many are not licensed in Florida, will not be here in the spring, and are breaking state law before they finish the pitch in your driveway.
