Which path fits your situation?

Storm damage requests are easier to route when you can identify the visible problem. Use these categories to choose the next step before requesting help.

Localized damage: missing shingles, small leak, flashing, or soffit: Start by identifying the damaged area, storm date, visible symptoms, affected area size, and roof age. If an insurance claim is involved, contact your insurer before signing repair paperwork.
Widespread damage or active interior water intrusion: A full inspection is needed before repair scope can be set. Document all visible damage and protect interior areas before a contractor arrives. Do not commit to full replacement without a written assessment that addresses.
Insurance claim in progress or about to be filed: Contact your insurer before authorizing work beyond protective tarping. Florida law governs assignment of benefits contracts. Read any repair agreement carefully before signing rights over to a third party.
