After the Storm: What to Do First

Once it is safe to go outside, do a visual check from the ground. Look for missing shingles, downed tree limbs on the roof, damaged gutters, and any visible holes or exposed decking. Take photos and videos of all visible damage from multiple angles — this documentation is critical for your insurance claim. Do not climb onto a damaged roof yourself; leave that to a professional.

Insurance Claims Support

Filing a storm damage claim with your Florida homeowners insurance can be a complex process. The roofers in our Jacksonville network are experienced in working with insurance adjusters. They can provide detailed damage reports, meet your adjuster on-site, and ensure that the full scope of damage is documented so your claim reflects the actual cost of proper repairs.

Permanent Repairs Done Right

Emergency tarping stops the immediate water intrusion, but it is a temporary measure. Once your insurance claim is processed, your contractor will perform permanent repairs using materials that meet current Florida Building Code requirements. In some cases, storm damage may be extensive enough to warrant a full replacement rather than patchwork repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first after storm damage?
Contact both as soon as possible. Your insurance company needs to open a claim promptly, and a roofer can provide emergency tarping to prevent further damage. Having a professional damage assessment ready when the adjuster arrives helps ensure your claim covers the full scope of repairs needed.
How do I spot storm damage on my Jacksonville roof?
From the ground, look for missing or displaced shingles, dents in metal flashing or gutters, and debris on the roof surface. Inside, check for water stains on ceilings, especially around vents and chimneys. Some storm damage is not visible from the ground and requires a professional roof inspection to identify.
What types of storms cause the most roof damage in Jacksonville?
Tropical storms and hurricanes cause the most severe roof damage in Jacksonville, but strong thunderstorms with wind gusts over 60 mph also cause significant damage throughout the year. Northeast Florida's nor'easters can bring sustained winds that loosen shingles and drive rain underneath. Even a single severe storm can cause hidden damage that worsens over time.
How long do I have to file a storm damage insurance claim in Florida?
Under current Florida law, you generally have two years from the date of loss to file a property insurance claim for storm damage. However, it is best to file as soon as possible while evidence is fresh. Document all damage with photos and videos before making any temporary repairs. Your roofing contractor can provide a detailed damage report to support your claim.
What is a storm chaser roofer and how do I avoid them?
Storm chasers are out-of-state crews that follow severe weather events, offering quick roof repairs. They often lack proper Florida licensing, use substandard materials, and disappear before warranty issues arise. Always verify a contractor's Florida license, check their local address and references, and never sign an Assignment of Benefits (AOB) without fully understanding it.
Can I get a temporary tarp on my Jacksonville roof after a storm?
Yes. Licensed roofing contractors offer emergency tarping to prevent further water intrusion while you arrange permanent repairs. Most can respond within 24 hours after a storm, though response times may be longer after widespread events. Emergency tarping costs typically range from $500 to $1,500 depending on the size of the damaged area, and insurance usually covers this cost.
