Your Guide to Identifying and Responding to Roof Storm Damage in Florida

The aftermath of a storm can be chaotic. Knowing what to look for and what to do next can protect your home from further damage. Here is our expert guide for homeowners in Orlando, Kissimmee, Sanford, and throughout Orange County and Seminole County.

Immediate Steps to Take After a Storm

1. Prioritize Safety: Before inspecting any damage, ensure the storm has fully passed and there are no immediate dangers like downed power lines or unstable trees.
2. Inspect from the Ground: Walk around your property and look for obvious signs of damage. Note any missing shingles on the ground, dented gutters, or cracked soffit and fascia. Use binoculars for a closer look if needed.
3. Check Your Attic and Ceilings: Inside your home, look for any water stains on the ceiling or signs of a leaking roof in your attic. This is a clear indicator of water damage and requires immediate attention.
4. Document Everything: Take clear photos and videos of all visible damage before any repairs or tarping are done. This documentation is essential for your property damage claim.
5. Call for an Emergency Tarp: If you see significant damage or active leaks, call a licensed and insured roofer like Roof Bear immediately for emergency roof tarping. This is a critical step to prevent catastrophic interior damage.

Types of Storm Damage We Handle

Florida storms, from afternoon thunderstorms to major hurricanes, can inflict a wide range of damage on your roof. Our storm damage specialists are trained to identify and repair all of it.

Hurricane and Wind Damage

Hurricanes like Ian and Irma have taught Central Florida homeowners the devastating power of high-velocity winds. Wind damage often manifests as lifted, curled, or completely missing shingles, leaving your roof's underlayment exposed. In severe cases, it can cause fallen tree damage, impacting the roof decking and underlying structure. Proper wind mitigation techniques, enforced by the Florida Building Code, are essential in any roof repair or replacement project we undertake to ensure your home is better prepared for the next storm.

Hail Damage

Though less frequent than hurricanes, hail can be incredibly destructive. Hail damage on an asphalt shingle roof appears as dark, bruised spots where protective granules have been knocked off, accelerating the shingle's deterioration. On a metal roof, it causes significant denting, while clay tile or concrete tile roofs can suffer from severe cracking and shattering. Our detailed roof damage assessment will identify even subtle hail impacts that an untrained eye might miss, ensuring they are included in your insurance claim.

Water Damage and Leaks

The most immediate threat from any roof damage is water intrusion. A single compromised shingle or piece of roof flashing can lead to a significant leaking roof. This water can saturate insulation, damage drywall, and lead to dangerous mold growth. We address water damage at its source, performing expert roof leak repair and ensuring all components, especially the roof underlayment and flashing around vents and chimneys, create a perfect seal against heavy rain damage.
